              Back 
                in 2005 I wrote:  
              "In 
                the last 30 years, increasing numbers of families in the United 
                States have made the decision to educate their children at home. 
                While the history of the homeschool movement is heavily themed 
                with the idea that families choose to homeschool for Religious 
                reasons, more and more families are also choosing to homeschool 
                for academic reasons. It's not exactly new; up until 1850 most 
                children in America were educated at home.  
              Crowded schools, unsafe 
                schools, poor academics and peer pressure that discourages a student 
                from academic achievement have contributed to the plot of the 
                homeschool story. Between two and three million children in the 
                United States are learning at home. More and more we hear of families 
                who are choosing homeschooling for academic reasons." 
              It 
                seems to hold true seventeen years later....Because the academic 
                environment in 2020 and 2021 was disastrous for many families, 
                they are rediscovering these same reasons to homeschool.
