An Overview of Home Schooling in the United States: Its Growth and Development and Future Challenges by Dr. Brian D. Ray — Presented to a professional research association, this piece presents an historical context for home education and gives a sketch of the characteristics of home education families. Dr. Ray predicts that academics from many disciplines will show increased interest in home education, contemplates potential responses of conventional school advocates, and then posits, based on current research findings, that home education is a valid form of education that should be supported by the public and policy makers.
