"More than 1 million American students stayed home from school in 2003-that is, they were home-schooled, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. That's a 29 percent increase since 1999, but still just 2.2 percent of all students.

Home education is more than a blip on the radar. It's at 3% and climbing fast. They know we are a threat to them, but thank G-d they don't know how much.

The top two reasons? Home-schooling parents believe school is dangerous, they told surveyors, or they want to provide children with a religious education."

My top reason for doing it is that I want my kids to get a better education than they can get out of public skools dominated by the NEA.
