"A lot of families are looking at what's happening in public and private school and saying, 'You know what?  I could do better, and I'd like to be a bigger part of my kid's life.'" says UI education professor Christopher Lubienski.  Want to see how to start homeschooling?  Getting Started

Educational theorist Andrew J. Coulson says, "Homeschooling gives youth a greater level of poise, experience and maturity than can be had in the artificial confines of rigid, age-based classrooms."  Social Events

Kate Beem said "I believe the best place for a real education is in the real world with real people doing real things that really matter.  Not in a place where the environment is controlled by manipulative age-mates and marginally monitored by adults."  Academic Events
