Hypotheses for parents who homeschool their children
1.) For homeschooling parents, resources from and camaraderie with their particular homeschooling community is of the utmost importance.
2.) Because the market lacks a consistently reliable print periodical and because the nature of homeschooling is such that parents often need a large variety of information quickly, they turn mainly to the internet for resources about homeschooling.
3.) One thing that homeschooling parents value highly is their close relationship with their children and families.
4.) The homeschooling community is incredibly diverse, with a wide variety of motivations behind homeschooling, educational methods and participating families.
5.) Homeschooling families value different aspects than those present in the traditional education system, namely self-motivation, self-directed learning and learning outside of the classroom.
