Homeschooling

Approximately 2 million children are homeschooled each year, which is nearly 4 percent of the student population in the United States. The first three chapters of James G. Dwyer and Shawn F. Peters's book provide an overview, an analysis, and an account of the history of and laws covering homeschooling, which has occurred in the United States since its founding. In chapters 4 and 5 Dwyer and Peters pivot to a summary of the arguments on both sides of the issue, and they lay out their assumptions about the normative and legal issues of homeschooling. In chapters 5 through 7, the authors construct a moral framework to address the rights and duties of the three primary constituents: the child, the parent, and the state. Given that the authors believe homeschooling is here to stay, they consider the logic and value of the policies that government must keep in mind. In the concluding remarks, their hope is “to inform and inspire further thought about a growing phenomenon in our society that many find intriguing and that has a profound impact on the lives of millions of children” (p. 228
