Solchek, Jeffery. "Pasco sees increase in homeschooled students." tampabay.com. N.p., 25 Sept. 2011. Web. 12 Oct. 2011.
In the Tampa Bay Area, home schooling is on the rise. At the beginning of the school year, 1,804 kids were home schooled. After the first month came to an end, 2,121 were now home schooled. With this many kids out the school loses a high of 13 million dollars.
Many wonder why this is happening. People responded to this question with religion as a main factor as well as more one on one attention, with more personal interest in mind. Also with the kids at home, it creates a closer family and received a well-rounded life.
This article will provide many statics, etc for my research paper in the future if I choose to do this topic.
Hanna, I find this article really weird and shocking. I guess I wouldn't have thought homeschooling would be expanding in this time of generation. I'm a bit confused; are you doing your research paper on schooling/homeschooling? Although those facts are shocking, possibly more and more parents want to keep closer tabs on their children? Or simply teach them their selves? This would be an interesting topic to further research and see if other states/cities' rates for homeschooling has gone up as well.
