Home Schooling an Academic Journey
RALEIGH — Between 1.9 and 2.2 million children in the United States “go to school with mom,” and many make creative use of museums, travel, and family businesses to achieve educational success. North Carolinians for Home Education estimates that as of March 2003, about 26,000 North Carolina families had registered as home schools. That translates into 86,000 to 90,000 home-schooled children statewide. Families home school for a variety of reasons, including religious or philosophical views, academic concerns, and negative experiences in regular schools.
