Many parents of children with autism move to Chapel Hill for the high reputation and performance the Chapel Hill-Carrboro School District has. However, the district’s special education program is poor and this is surprising because of the district’s wealth and access to resources.

Abstract:
Dismayed by the public schools, many parents are finding an alternative in home schooling. Statewide, the number of children homeschooled in North Carolina has tripled over the last four years. Home-schooling parents say their children are excelling in an atmosphere where they work at their own pace, receive individualized attention, and are free from the distractions and bad influences of public schools. The pros and cons of homeschooling are discussed, along with stories from Triangle area parents who are homeschooling their children.
