The purpose is to briefly summarize forty years of research on the learner outcomes of the modern home-schooling movement and address whether educators should be promoting home education. Studies show that home-schooling (home education) is generally associated with positive learner outcomes. On average, the home educated perform better than their institutional school peers in terms of academic achievement, social, emotional, and psychological development, and success into adulthood (including university). Certain pedagogical and familial elements that are systemic to freely chosen parent-led home-based private education home-schooling are may be the keys to the overall better performance and development of most children – not only the home educated – and into their lives as adults. If this is true, should professional educators be promoting home-schooling rather than criticizing it or trying to inhibit its growth? Are there certain categories of families for whom home education would not be a good idea? Is home education a pedagogical choice and approach about which educators should be sceptical and antagonistic or from which they can learn, be better informed about the needs and successes of students, and support according to the findings of empirical evidence?

Although still a marginalized practice, home-schooling is on the rise internationally and across socio-economic groups. Moreover, the current Covid-19 pandemic has shifted additional attention to home-schooling. However, much of the available research is primarily concerned with the current day-to-day practice of home-schooling and little attention is paid to adult home-school graduates. This exploratory study, based on qualitative interviews with mothers and adult children from 12 families, examines young adults’ overall evaluation of their past home-schooling experience and aims to understand how parents and children view the pros and cons of home-schooling in hindsight. The data analysis revealed that home-schoolers approach education more broadly than focusing strictly on the academic side and it identified the common theme of “gifting,” which challenges the prevailing conceptualization that home-schooling is a “sacrifice.” Respondents viewed their home-schooling experience as a mutually beneficial process of giving and receiving rather than a unidirectional act of “sacrifice.”

The crisis of public education caused by school lockdowns during Covid-19 pandemic caused cultural shock but also opened the space for alternative modes of education such as homeschooling. Legitimacy of homeschooling and its popularity among parents and policymakers has already been increasing in the last decades. The aim of the study is to identify motives for homeschooling by a research design based on in-depth interviews with (grand) parents of homeschooled children. The results of analysis distinguished two types of motives: motives related to dissatisfaction of families with the performance of school system and motives related to family values and life-style.

Numbers coming out of education departments in Australia suggest that, even though most Australian schools are open, and families are able to send their children to them, increasing numbers of parents are deciding to keep their children at home for their education (Queensland Government: Department of Education, 2020). It may be that, as the president of Australia’s home education representative body stated during the pandemic, Covid school closures offered a “risk-free trial” of home education (Lever, 2020) by providing a-posteriori experience of education outside of schools. Building on the Covid experiences, this paper suggests that ‘accidentally falling into’ home education may be significant in understanding parents’ home education choices. Using numbers of home educators from Australia, and the associated data on their location and ages, this paper argues responsibilisation (see Doherty & Dooley, 2018) provides a suitable lens to examine how parents may decide, after a-posteriori experience such as Covid school closures and previous, often negative, experiences of schooling, to home educate in the medium to long term. This paper proposes that increasing numbers of home educators will be seen in various jurisdictions where families perceive themselves responsibilised to home educate due to Covid as a-posteriori experiences of home education. The paper proposes that these families are ‘accidental’ home educators (English, 2021). By contrast, much more stable is the ‘deliberate’ home education population, those whose choices are based in a-priori beliefs about schooling. The paper proposes that the accidental home education category may be able better to explain the growing numbers of home educators in Australia and across the world, providing a means for governments to respond to the needs of this cohort, and the policies required to manage this population.
