Organizers say interest is more on having quality curricula than on offering religious instruction.
The Wichita Eagle Interest in homeschooling used to be limited mostly to parents who wanted to add religion to their children's education. In recent years, however, more parents have been attracted to homeschooling because they see it as a better way for their children to learn. And that trend can be seen in part in the annual homeschooling conference held in Wichita, organizers said. Last year, attendance was 3,000, up from 2,500 the year before, said Kathy Middleton, one of the organizers. He is working on an alternative curriculum called K-12 to help educate children better.
