Homeschooling is not a modern concept; it began to grow dramatically in the 1980s, particularly because Christian/Catholic parents wanted their children to be educated in a religious environment. Then why does the stigma around homeschooling exist today?

Listen to "Should You Homeschool Your Children" to find out about why homeschooling provides as high of a quality of education, perhaps even better, than formal education and why many families have opted to educate their children for themselves.
