How long has homeschooling been around?
Homeschooling or family-based education has been the primary mode of education for most of recorded history. Institutionalized schooling, while what is familiar to most of us today, is actually relatively new. In fact, the last compulsory education laws in the United States weren’t passed until 1918. The modern homeschooling movement, which was a return to family-based education, began in the 1960’s.
