Home schooling is legal in all 50 US states with each state having set guidelines and rules about the homeschool process.

The reasons parents choose to homeschool their children vary. Some parents site research like home schoolers placed in the 89th to 90th percentile in national standardized testing. Others state their reasons as being able to provide religious studies and building strong family bonds. Other parents look at the quality of homeschool and feel they have more control over the curriculum and content of the materials studied in addition to knowing their children will be safe.

There are many good reasons to homeschool and each family should decide based on the reasons they feel are best for their family.
