Changes

Homeschooling is opting out of formal public and private schools in order to educate children in the home or in specially arranged classes or cooperatives.  Parents take a more active role in the education of their children when they homeschool.

Homeschooling students get some or all of their education outside of traditional schools.  The general term "homeschooling" includes a wide range of educational options and philosophies.
