Reasons parents choose homeschooling
The decision to home-school is not based solely on conservative religious or political views. Although parents homeschool for a variety of reasons, the primary reason is dissatisfaction with public education. Other reasons stated by home-schooling parents include the following:
the opportunity to impart a certain set of beliefs and morals
higher academic performance through one-on-one instruction
the ability to develop stronger parent-child relationships
the lack of discipline in public schools
the opportunity to escape negative peer pressure through more controlled interactions with a student's peers
an inability to pay private school tuition
a physically safer environment in which to learn
