Pros+Introduction

 Intro Home schooling is a process where a child and his/her parent choose to do school at home, hence homeschooling. Home schooling is a rapidly growing lifestyle, increasing by 7-15 % (Pros and Cons of Homeschooling) and has been adapted by families where school is unconventional, ‘New Age’ families, and families with strong beliefs (Homeschooling/ Socialization of Children). About 1.5 to 2 million children are homeschooled and it is legal in all 50 states. (Home Is Where The School Is). Homeschooling has always been present since colonial times, died down in the 1800s when people were ‘Americanizing’, but is becoming increasingly popular. Home schoolers do the same curriculum as those attending public schools but do tend to score better on standardized tests.(Home Is Where The School Is) Supporting evidence shows that home schoolers get a better education than those in public schools for many reasons, such as the void of negative peer pressure and other common public school culture, the comfort of learning at home, and the educational freedom it entails.
