Discover the untold story of why homeschooling moved from the margins to the mainstream of American education.
In this groundbreaking study, historian Dixie Dillon Lane traces the rise of homeschooling in the United States, from the modern movement’s beginnings in the 1950s as a fringe activity to its current status as a widely accepted educational choice. Through compelling nationwide data and vivid case studies from Los Angeles County, Lane uncovers a powerful truth: homeschooling taps into long-held American beliefs in local control and parental rights that have shaped our nation’s schools for generations.
