Home Schooling Comes of Age.

Lines, Patricia M.

Educational Leadership, v54 n2 p63-67 Oct 1996

As state legislators, school boards, and the public at large become more receptive, home-schoolers are gaining access to more resources, including those at public schools. Researchers disagree over home schooling's effects on academic achievement and social development. Home schooling could be an important resource for studying how children learn in informal environments. (11 references) (MLH)
