No education modality is free of abuse and neglect; children are impacted in public school and in the homeschool setting. It’s not an either/or question, it’s a both/and answer. Support our critical work at crhe.org/support-crhe/

Why do you think homeschooling is on the rise? We talked to Newsweek about the challenges of collecting data within the realm of homeschooling and capturing the whole picture, but there’s no denying more and more families are choosing to homeschool. Let us know what you think!
Why homeschooling is still on the rise
The number of children being homeschooled in the U.S. is continuing to rise years after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Many of the ~2 million children homeschooled in the U.S. have positive experiences.
