Homeschooling Alone: Why Corporate Reformers are Ignoring the Real Revolution in Education |
|
Greg Beato |
|
Would-be reformers of the current educational system, including corporate altruists nor philanthropic foundations, have shown much interest so far in homeschooling's increasing popularity. Instead, they've focused on the promotion of charter schools and school vouchers. In this article, Greg Beato details some of the efforts of big business to reform public schooling, taking a look at corporate sponsorships, grants, and scholarship programs. It examines the dichotomy between those who criticize the system as an Industrial Age artifact and simultaneously push for more standardization and regimentation. Homeschoolers have provided an alternative that offers positive results in academics and other accomplishments. The article continues by looking at the future of the relationship between business and homeschoolers, from increasing scholarship opportunities to partnerships between homeschooling groups and corporations. |

Home Education Abroad |
|
If you are living away from your home culture, you may want to teach your children at home while you settle in and visit the local schools, or you might decide that it's a good opportunity to try out home education long-term. If you are posted abroad temporarily, home education can be a good way of bridging the gap for your children, so that they are not disrupted by a totally new school system. This website includes lots of resources for those homeschooling overseas.
Details about home educating in some countries outside the UK are given in the following web sites.
