Homeschooling has skyrocketed in popularity in the United States: in 2019, a record-breaking 2.5 million children were being homeschooled. In 'The Homeschool Choice', Kate Henley Averett provides insight into this fascinating phenomenon, exploring the perspectives of parents who have chosen to homeschool their children. Drawing on in-depth interviews, Averett examines the reasons why these parents choose to homeschool, from those who disagree with sex education and LGBT content in schools, to others who want to protect their children's sexual and gender identities. With eye-opening detail, she shows us how homeschooling is a trend being chosen by an increasingly diverse subset of American families, at times in order to empower - or constrain - children's gender and sexuality.

Teaching the next generation at home is, with little doubt, the oldest form of educating children. Yet, this simplistic understanding of "homeschooling" does not adequately capture the growth of homeschooling as a practice in the 21st century nor is it a widely accessible form of "school choice" for most families. While many parents keep their children out of formal schooling - public and private - for myriad reasons, what is clear is that homeschooling is the epitome of a conceiving of education as an individualistic good - a commodity - that can, or should, be done outside of a conception of the common good, a reasonable understanding of teaching as a profession, and the elevation of ideological echo chambers of information which can have deleterious impacts on the students who are homeschooled and society, broadly"--
