Home schooling grows

I home schooled my daughter
My sister and x wife and her sister did
Heck lots of people I know have been home schooled
Just how many here have or are homeschooling their kids????

The ranks of America's home-schooled children have continued a steady climb over the past five years, and new research suggests broader reasons for the appeal.
The number of home-schooled kids hit 1.5 million in 2007, up 74% from when the Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics started keeping track in 1999, and up 36% since 2003. The percentage of the school-age population that was home-schooled increased from 2.2% in 2003 to 2.9% in 2007. "There's no reason to believe it would not keep going up," says Gail Mulligan, a statistician at the center.
Traditionally, the biggest motivations for parents to teach their children at home have been moral or religious reasons, and that remains a top pick when parents are asked to explain their choice.

I"m home schooling my 14 year-old for now. Once we can move to a small town nearby, he wants to go back to public school.

If mine were still in school, it would be at home......the public school system is awful.
