Hats off to The Week magazine for getting the historical beginnings of homeschooling right:
The movement started as an offshoot of 1960s counterculture. Education reformers began questioning whether the nation’s schools were helping or hurting American children. One of the leaders of the charge was John Holt, a former fifth-grade teacher. Holt argued in his 1964 book How Children Fail that forcing children to learn in a regimented environment squelched their creativity. In the 1980s, many conservative Protestants soured on conventional schooling, in part because of bans on school prayer. At first, removing children from formal schools was illegal in most states. But as home-schoolers organized and lobbied for change, the barriers fell.
All in all, a better and more accurate article than most.
