The ebb flow of it all

We have been overwhelmed with our lives these last few weeks.  First there was the snow... tons and tons of snow by Atlanta standards.   This allowed me to get work done and my kids to focus on their school work for a minute.  Then there was a tragedy in another local homeschool family that had quite an effect on our hearts and made us  very sad.  We didn't get a lot of work done that week.

I am really glad for homeschooling because when we are hurting we can take time out and just be still until we can catch out breath and move on.  Fortunately we can balance this with times when we are knee-deep in books and rarely come up for air.

homeschooling is growing

I didn't need a study to tell me that homeschooling has grown exponentially.  The number of homeschoolers I encounter has grown. The attitude of the general public toward homeschooling has changed.  The opportunities for homeschooling in my are are endless.  Nevertheless, here is the study to back up what I have noticed about changes in homeschooling.

The National Home Education Research Institute (NHERI) has released a study that estimates that there were 2.040 million K to 12 homeschooled students – or 4percent of all school-aged children – in the United States in the spring of 2010.
