Home Education in the Media

Links to some recent home education articles on ABC Radio National:

Children are spending more time than ever in formal schooling though some children never walk through a school gate.

They’re taught by their parents at home. So why do parents choose to home-school and can they provide a good quality education, on a par with the school system? 

Is this an alternative we should encourage or do children miss out on the benefits of social learning?

Just how good is home schooling? Is it better or even worse than a public education? In Australia, home education may not be common but right now there are about 15,000 children being home schooled. So what is it like?
