Education: Home Schooling
In the past twenty years, the home schooling movement has revolutionized education in America. But the home schooling has been around far longer, because at the heart, education is first a "home schooling" experience as parents exercise their God-ordained right and responsibility to educate their children. Estimates today put the numbers of homeschoolers at 1.8 million students. Focus on the Family works to honor and protect the rights of all parents to direct their child's education, especially the families that represent almost two million kids. Home schooling is a strategic and vital option for parents in the challenge to raise and educate their children.
