In the US Odell Beckham Jr Jersey , there were books dedicated to home education, such as "Helps To Education in the Homes of Our Country" authored by Warren Burton. Parents were the main teachers of their children, although, where possible, local teachers would assist parents Jim Brown Jersey , and take classes.

The 19th century saw many significant changes to the way education, and schooling was conducted with the introduction of compulsory school attendance laws. It is now considered a human right that children are given an education provided by the government.

The Moores believed that this was largely due to the bond between parents Austin Seibert Browns Jersey , and their children being broken when children were institutionalized in schooling systems.


In some English speaking countries, it is still an option for parents to home school their children rather than to send them to an institutionalized school.

Home schooling can also refer to schooling done in a home environment, with supervision by teachers through correspondence schools. While children are schooled at home, they must still complete compulsory educational subjects, and take tests.


One of the main reasons that parents choose to home school their children is that they feel the schools are unable to offer their children the same quality of education, or social environment that can be taught at home.
