Hybrid Homeschooling. Sketching a New Conservative Education Agenda
McShane, Michael Q.
American Enterprise Institute
Homeschooling can be challenging. Particularly as children age, parents can find themselves out of their depth trying to teach more advanced coursework. Many families also want their children to be part of a community while still maintaining primary control of their child's education. For them, traditional schools (whether public or private, religious or nonreligious) give too much away. Full-time homeschooling keeps too much in-house. This report discusses the following key points about hybrid homeschooling: (1) Hybrid homeschooling creates an avenue for conservatives to build the types of schools that appeal to their values and desires at a price they can afford; (2) Hybrid homeschools should be part of a conservative agenda because they recognize the primacy of the family and work in civic society to create formative institutions built on local values; and (3) For conservative families that feel isolated and besieged by an educational culture at odds with their values, hybrid homeschools offer an opportunity for renewal and flourishing.
