Article Description

A qualitative study of 15 homeschooling parents reported children’s educational success due to tailoring education to the specific needs of their children. Second, the parents indicated that significant parentchild bonding was an important outcome of the overall homeschool experience. Third, they were both keenly aware of homeschool-kid-stereotypes for lacking apt socialization—and the parents reportedly took deliberate steps in order to helpfoster this aspect of the children’s lives. We interpret thefindings in light of active role construction for involvement and ecological systems theory, finding theparents’ high involvement in their children’s education to contribute to their academic success.
