A recent U.S. Department of Education report shows the continued growth of homeschooling in the United States. The report, from the National Center for Educational Statistics estimated a 74% increase in homeschooling over the 8 years ending in 2007. In addition to lack of confidence and dissatisfaction with traditional public schools parents cite their desire to be more actively involved in their children's education.
