Homeschooling

This week, most children went back to school. However, there are thousands of children who did not. Instead, they will study at home. This is called homeschooling. Homeschooling is actually older than regular school. In the past, children learned at home because school did not exist.

Even after schools appeared in the city, there were few schools in the country. As a result, many children still had to study at home. Some famous people were homeschooled, including Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Edison.

For much of the 1900s, homeschooling was rare . However, in the 1970s, many parents started homeschooling their children. They chose to do this for several reasons. Some parents thought the local schools were bad, so they decided to teach their children themselves. Others wanted their children to learn about religion, which was not taught it school.

These day, homeschooling is very popular in Western countries. The United kingdom has about 50,000 homeschooled children, and Canada has around 60,000.The United states has the highest number, with as many as 1.1 million homeschooling is likely to remain popular for years to come.
