Homeschooling has a long tradition history in the U.S., but it declined after the government made school education compulsory and legal in the 19th and 20th centuries. It reemerged again in the 1960s and 70s due to the educational reforms that came up during this time.
But today Homeschooling is a growing trend in the U.S. and particularly with the advent of Covid-19. Recent household surveys have shown that most families have opted for homeschooling, and this might be due to the Covid-19. This pandemic has forced many parents to adopt homeschooling as an alternative to traditional attendance, and in some ways has proved to be effective for many families in the U.S.
Many parents consider homeschooling due to safety measures, economic interests, and the general welfare of the students. It also provides freedom for the students and their families too.
There are so prevailing views that indicate that homeschooled students perform better, and actually, their scoreline is between 80% and 90% compared to other students in public schools.
Moreover, homeschooling has also become a form of supplemented education as a way of helping children to learn under specific circumstances. Most take the form of unstructured modes including correspondence, umbrella, or most recently digital platforms.
However, homeschooling would work well with courses in liberal arts compared to technical and science-based courses that require more specialized supervision.
