Over the course of the last twenty to thirty years, there has been steady increase in the numbers of children that are kept out of the traditional public classrooms for homeschooling.

One of the largest groups of homeschoolers are Christians, who seek to support and defend their values by teaching their children at home because many feel that the standards of morality and conduct are undermined in the public school system.

Still, many non-Christian families also opt for homeschooling because they are concerned with the negative influences that are readily seen in public educational settings. Drug and alcohol use, promiscuity, rebellious attitudes, and out of control behavior are some of the reasons parents cite for taking the step to educate at home.

There are many homeschooling resources and homeschool support groups available to help any parent who is concerned about the quality of education that is found in public schools, in addition to the many bad influences. The support groups usually organize locally and have regular newsletters and meetings and often the group will organize discussion groups, establish sports teams, start writing clubs, and even organize field trips, which helps to lighten the burden of the parent having to do all of those things independently.
