美国联邦教育 部教育统计中心提供数据：1985年在家中 接受教育的孩子大约是5万名，而到2003年 ，这一数字达到210万，平均每年以20%的速度增长v美国称之为 HomeSchooling，一些欧洲国 家称之为 Home EducationWhat is Homeschooling vHomeschooling( home education), home learning or homeschool – is the education of children at home, typically by parents or professional tutors, rather than in a public or private school.vHomeschooling in the modern sense is an alternative in developed countries to formal education.History of the controversy Home schooling in the United States vFor decades the source of debate was focused whether it was legal for parents to withhold their children from mandated state school programs and educate them in a home setting pitting those in favor of educational choice against those in favor of public or state controlled education.vSince the late 1980's, the focus on the legality of homeschooling in general has shifted toward whether homeschooling communities can access to state school funds, facilities, and resources and to the degree of control that a state can exercise on homeschooling families regarding areas like curricula and standardized testing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeschooling_in_the_United_StatesvHowever, in 2008 a panel of three judges on a California Court of Appeals voted unanimously that children must be taught by a credentialed tutor or person with a teaching credential. The court stated that “It is clear that the education of the children at their home, whatever the quality of that education, does not qualify for the private full- time day school or credentialed tutor exemptions from compulsory education in a public full-time day school.“ The California court rejected the parent's reliance on Yoder's holding regarding religious choice. However, in March 2008, the court agreed to rehear the case and vacated its prior decision. A final decision is expected in late 2008.http://en.wikipedia.org/wik。
