Is anyone asking why it seems like many of the recent cases of H1N1 cases are in the public schools? This phenomena is not isolated to the United States. A pattern seems to be developing as reflected in the recent outbreaks at public schools and Universities.
With back-to-school season in full swing, many parents are reflecting on the educational choices they are making. Although the vast majority of parents still send their children to public schools, 10 percent to 12 percent of parents choose private education. One part of private education is the estimated 2 million children who are home-schooled, accounting for at least 3 percent of the school-age population. For parents considering home-schooling, three questions often are asked. First, is it legal? Second, how do I do it? Third, will it ruin my kids?
Today, kids are still way ahead of the grownups who supposedly control their school and home networks. In my informal interviews, I've discovered again and again that kids are a bottomless well of tricks for evading network filters and controls, and that they propagate their tricks like crazy, trading them like bubble-gum cards and amassing social capital by helping their peers gain access to the whole wide Web, rather than the narrow slice that's visible through the crack in the firewall.
I have to admit, this warms my heart. After all, do we want to raise a generation of kids who have the tech savvy of an Iranian dissident, or the ham-fisted incompetence of the government those dissidents are running circles around?
But I'm also a parent, and I know that it won't be long before my daughter is using her network access to get at stuff that's so vile, my eyes water just thinking about it. What's more, she's going to be expose
It is important to understand homeschooling for what it really is and not what the media and others portray it to be. Here is the truth about homeschool.

Nationwide, more students are following the same path. According to a report by the U.S. Department of Education, about one and a half million student were homeschooled in 2007, an increase of about a half million students from four years ago. And that trend has some school officials concerned about the state of public education.
Parents who home-school children increasingly are white, wealthy and well-educated — and their numbers have nearly doubled in a decade, a new federal government report says. What else has nearly doubled? The percentage of girls who are home-schooled. They now outnumber home-schooled girls by a wide margin. As of spring 2007, an estimated 1.5 million, or 2.9% of all school-age children in the USA, were home-schooled, up from 1.7% in 1999. The new figures come from the U.S. Department of Education, which found that 36% of parents said their most important reason for home schooling was to provide "religious or moral instruction"; 21% cited concerns about school environment. Only 17% cited "dissatisfaction with academic instruction." Perhaps most significant: The ratio of home-schooled boys to girls has shifted significantly. In 1999, it was 49% boys, 51% girls. Now boys account for only 42%; 58% are girls. FIND MORE STORIES IN: California | Santa Clara | O
