Homeschooling in the 21st Century - Research and Prospects (Hardcover)

Education began on the most intimate levels: the family and the
community. With industrialization, education became
professionalized and bureaucratized, typically conducted in schools
rather than homes. Over the past half century, however, schooling
has increasingly returned home, both in the United States and
across the globe. This reflects several trends, including greater
affluence and smaller family size leading parents to focus more on
child well-being; declining faith in professionals (including
educators); and the Internet, whose resources facilitate home
education. In the United States, students who are homeschooled for
at least part of their childhood outnumber those in charter
schools. Yet remarkably little research addresses homeschooling.
This book brings together work from 20 researchers, addressing a
range of homeschooling topics, including the evolving legal and
institutional frameworks behind home education; why some parents
make this choice; home education educational environments; special
education; and outcomes regarding both academic achievement and
political tolerance. In short, this book offers the most up-to-date
research to guide policy makers and home educators, a matter of
great importance given the agenda of the current presidential
administration. The chapters in this book were originally published
as articles in the Journal of School Choice.
