Abstract:
Derek Jennings discusses the reasons for why he and his wife decided to homeschool their three youngest children. Jennings decided that homeschooling was a better option to meet each of his children’s individual needs than their current situation in Wake County Schools. The apprehension and curiosity that came with the decision were well rewarded as all three of his children are doing better emotionally and educationally in the homeschool environment than they were in public schools. Many families in Wake County are choosing this option with the school population explosion.

Abstract:
Touted as an advantage for homeschooling was developing a connection with nature by learning skills such as growing produce and animal husbandry. Reasons noted for homeschooling included children possessing gifts or challenges traditional schooling is unequipped to handle. While adhering to the state’s core curriculum and assessments, it utilizes teaching methods aligning with learning styles and interests and prioritize mastery over grades. Local support for homeschooled children includes Asheville Arboretum’s EXPLORE and Earthaven Ecovillage.

Abstract:
In 1995-96, the number of home-schooled children in North Carolina exceeded 13,000. Eventually a point is reached where parents of these children cannot instruct in advanced courses, such as chemistry and physics, and request local school systems to allow their children to attend part-time. Schools are not required to do this, either by state or federal law. North Carolina law does not prohibit this, allowing schools systems to decide requests on an individual basis.
