What is the most common reason for home schooling?

While there are many reasons parents choose homeschooling, the most commonly cited reason is concern about the school environment. This is a broad category that can encompass a variety of specific concerns, including:

* Safety concerns: Bullying, violence, and drug use.

* Academic concerns: Dissatisfaction with the curriculum, teaching methods, or pace of learning. A perceived lack of individualized attention is a major component of this.

* Moral or religious objections: Disagreement with the school's values, policies, or curriculum regarding sex education, religious instruction, or other moral issues.

While other reasons like a desire for individualized learning or special needs are significant, the umbrella of "concerns about the school environment" tends to encompass the largest number of homeschooling families.
