Homeschooling has a long tradition history in the U.S., but
it declined after the government made school education compulsory and legal in
the 19th and 20th centuries. It reemerged again in the
1960s and 70s due to the educational reforms that came up during this time.

But today Homeschooling is a growing trend in the US and
particularly with the advent of Covid-19. Recent household surveys have shown
that most families have opted for homeschooling, and this might be due to the
Covid-19. This pandemic has forced many parents to adopt the homeschooling as
alternative to traditional attendance and in some ways has proved to be
effective for many families in the US. Many parents consider homeschooling due
to safety measures, economic interests and general welfare of the students. It
also provides freedom for the students and the families too.
There are so prevailing views which indicates that homeschooled students perform better and actually their score line is between 80%
and 90% compared to other students in public schools.
Moreover, homeschooling has also become a form of
supplemented education as a way of helping children to learn under specific
circumstances. Most take the form of unstructured modes including
correspondence, umbrella or most recently digital platforms. However,
homeschooling would work well with courses in liberal arts compared to
technical and science based courses that requires more specialized supervision.
