It can be difficult to know precisely what, when, and how the nation's homeschooled students are learning. After all, privacy and the freedom to explore education as families see fit, with limited government oversight, is a defining feature. But the best evidence indicates that homeschooled students are far from isolated. By looking at a recent national survey of American households conducted by the U.S. Department of Education, the author found that homeschooled students are more likely to participate in cultural and family activities than their public-school peers. They seem to spend less time on formal instruction in humanities subjects, but more time visiting libraries and museums and attending community events. If public exposure protects children and cultural knowledge is a major goal for education, concerns that homeschooled students are in danger appear, at the very least, overblown. This article discusses who homeschools their children and takes a look beyond formal instruction.
