PART II
Increaasing numbers of parents in the U.S. are choosing to teach their children at hom. In fact, the

homeschooled. Some educational experts say that the real number is double this estimate, and the
ranks of homeschooled children seem to be growing at the average rate of about eleven percent
every year.

students who could not attend school because of behavioral or learning diggiculties. Today,
however, more parents are taking on the responsibility of educating their own children at home
due to their dissatisfaction with the educational sustem. Many parents are unhappy about class
siza, as well as problems inside the classroom. Teacher shortages and lack of funding mean that,

in many schools, one teacher is responsible for thirty or forty students, The childrent are,
therefore, deprived of the attention they need. Escalating classroomviolence has also motivated
some parents to remove their children from school.

Although there have been a lot of arguments for and against it, homeschooling in the U.S. has
become a multi-million dollar industry, and it is growing bigger. There are now plenty of
websites, support group groups, and it is growing conventions that help parents to protect their
rights and enable them to learn more about educating their childrent. Though once it was the only
