More Black Families Homeschooling

RALEIGH — Thousands of black children across North Carolina are finding their way out of institutionalized education and into the bosom of hearth and home to learn their ABCs and 123s. And the numbers are steadily growing. Nationwide, the numbers of black students homeschooling has topped 120,000. Not only are they five times more likely to be homeschooled as they were five years ago, but the Home School Legal Defense Association web site reported they are “scoring in the upper percentiles right along with white students” on standardized achievement tests.
