Homeschooling has been popular for quite a while.  Back in the 80's, a neighbor was homeschooling.  The only restriction was that the children had to be tested every year to make sure they were on grade level.  The school district was very supportive, and even allowed the kids to take gym, home ec, music, and art classes at the school.  They would just take the gym or cooking class, and then leave.

Most states (even liberal ones) support homeschooling.  I see the advertisements for all of the different homeschooling programs.  Many of them are paid for by school education money.

Home schooling is a good idea.
But I seriously don't understand how the parents can remember what they learned in school.. To able to do it!
so I applaud the ones that can.

We are going to start homeschooling my son. Why? It has absolutely nothing to do with "liberal indoctrination". He is on the Autism spectrum and so has some issues with standard regimented schooling. Homeschooling offers flexibility that standard public school does not.

If he was not on the spectrum and all that entails.. would probably keep him in public school. The school, itself, is fine. However, they try to pack the day full and all of those transitions sets him off.

Are you and Razoo illiterate? I never said homeschooling was new. I said it was becoming popular?

And I said it has been popular for many decades.  When my daughter was taking her SAT test, I met quite a few parents who had homeschooled.

You make it sound like this was something rare.  It has been popular for many decades.

Listen carefully...focus...foooocus....ready? I said it is getting 'more' popular, I didn't say it was never popular. It is gaining more momentum than the past.

I'm not really seeing the point.  People were doing it before; and they are going to continue do it.

You are deliberately not seeing the point because you don't know how to rebut it. 

It's very simple: More popular" is not the same as "popular."

OK.  I still don't see your point.  You haven't put forward any stats on the percentage increase of homeschoolers, and why there is an increase in homeschooling.  

The statistics of the increase in homeschooling come from census reports DURING THE PANDEMIC!

https://www.census.gov/library/stories/ ... demic.html

​​​​​​Homeschooling is a legal instructional option in all 50 states and national homeschooling rates grew rapidly from 1999 to 2012 but had since remained steady at around 3.3%.

 However, the global COVID-19 pandemic has sparked new interest in homeschooling and the appeal of alternative school arrangements has suddenly exploded. The U.S. Census Bureau’s experimental Household Pulse Survey, the first data source to offer both a national and state-level look at the impact of COVID-19 on homeschooling rates, shows a substantial increase from last spring — when the pandemic took hold — to the start of the 2020-2021 school year.

 Using a large, nationally representative sample of U.S. households, the survey shows homeschooling is notably higher than the national benchmarks and offers a glimpse of changes in homeschooling patterns during the pandemic.

 We compare survey results from the spring of the 2019-20 school year to results in the fall of the 2020-21 school year to measure the pandemic's impact on homeschooling.

Of course it increased during the pandemic. Schools were closed.  Were the supposed to go to school...that was closed? The point is that homeschooling is becoming more popular today, not because of the pandemic three years ago. It's because parents are tired of Satanist like yourself trying to force their ideology on their kids. You pretend to be Christain, whereas a lot of parents really are Christain, and they want secular narratives out of the curriculum.

But you haven't pointed to any statistics that show that those numbers are still relevant.  Did the numbers drop after parents returned to work or the schools reopened.  Many parents would choose homeschooling if they were off work or the schools were closed, but would send their children back when the schools opened or homeschooling interfered with work.

You haven't shown any statistics that those high numbers of home schoolers has continued or continued to increase.  

BTW,  it is spelled Christian, not Christain.  I assumed this isn't a typo because you misspelled it TWICE.
