The estimates of the numbers of home-schooled children vary widely. The U. S. Department of Education estimates there are 250,000 to 35,000 home-schooled children in the country. Home-school advocates put the number much higher -- at about a million.
Many public school advocates take a harsh attitude toward home schoolers , perceiving their actions as the ultimate slap in the face for public education and a damaging move for the children. Home schoolers harbor few kind words for public schools, charging shortcomings that range from lack of religious perspective in the curriculum to a herdlike approach to teaching children.
Yet, as public school officials realize they stand little to gain by remaining hostile to the home-school population, and as home schoolers realize they can reap benefits from public schools, these hard lines seem to be softening a bit. Public schools and home schoolers have moved closer to tolerance and, in some cases, even cooperation.
