Some call this alternative to formal group education the answer to our nation's problems.
Formal education plays a huge part in children's lives.
Most of them spend seven hours a day, five days a week, nine months a year at school. Naturally, how well their learning environment suits them is very important to parents. Though your children may be doing fine in public or private school, it's not unusual to wonder if there's a better way. Maybe you want more control over what they are learning and how they are learning it. Or you might share concerns about institutional education with the more than 1.5 million homeschoolers in the United States.
