I've got a trend worth pondering. The standard number of home-schooled kids in this country is said to be anywhere from 1 to 2 million. That statistic was being used eight years ago when I started home-schooling. I now know personally at least a dozen new homeschooling families that were not teaching their children at home eight years ago. If every family home-schooling eight years ago could say today that they know at least a dozen new home-schooling families with at least three kids in each family, what does that say about the true number of home-schooled kids in this country?

For those of you who were taught fuzzy math, let me figure it for ya.
That's at least 1 million home-schooled kids in each state in the union.

One million in each state you say?? We barely have that many in our state alone! ha! No, I wouldn't put the estimate that high but I agree with you that the number is increasing all the time and is likely higher than reported. Especially by educrats.
