Homeschooling Grows

USA Today, the national McNewspaper, churned out an article on Monday saying simply, Home Schooling Grows. The article has inspired just under 1,000 comments from registered users of the USA Today site.

What they should have said is that homeschooling is maturing and diversifying. People are starting to homeschool for more reasons than simply the desire to teach their kids about God. Instead, people are finding that homeschooling allows their children to learn at their own pace instead of in lock-step with the class. They're finding that their kids don't have to do homework or spend 8 hours locked away in apublic school when they can be home with their families, learning what they need with a lower time investment and a big improvement in quality of life.

Homeschooling is growing and diversifying and for all the right reasons.
