The term home schooling may conjure up images of a mother hovering over her secluded children as they complete a workbook at the kitchen table. But this image is inaccurate. Home schooling simply means that the parents become responsible for their children's education. Some children are home schooled in groups, and some parents use tutors for the subjects they are less sure of. These days, few parents isolate their home schoolers from peer groups or from society in general.
Parents choose to home school for many reasons.
People who choose home schooling for religious reasons feel that they can give their children a better education as well as a more appropriate one. Christians may object to curriculum such as evolution and to the overall secularization of schools. Those who follow other faiths may object to the underlying Christian viewpoint of schools, as well as to curriculum and socialization that contradicts their own moral values. Because of its flexibility, home schooling attracts parents who dislike institutional learning. Each parent can design their own curriculum.
