 Debate About Homeschooling vs Public School
I. History of Homeschooling
Homeschooling began in 1970s when John Holt, an educational
theorist and supporter of school reform, began arguing that formal
schools’ focus on rote learning created an oppressive classroom
environment designed to make children compliant employees. Holt called
for parents to liberate their children from formal education and instead
follow a method today known as “unschooling.” Early Holt followers
connected through Holt’s newsletter, Growing Without Schooling, which
was founded in 1977.
Soon after Holt’s arguments inspired the first homeschoolers, Holt’s
friend educational theorist Raymond Moore added his voice, arguing that
early schooling was detrimental to children and that children should be
schooled at home until 8 0r9 in order to give them a firm educational,
psychological, and moral foundation. Moore’s 1981 Home Grown
Kids quickly became popular and was often the first book homeschoolers
read.
Now, homeschooling is rapidly growing in popularity, with numbers
increasing by at least 7% every year. There are currently approximately 2
million children homeschooled throught the United States. Homeschooling
is a hot topic, with a great deal of pros and cons.
