In an blog post for the Greene County Daily World, which serves several counties in Indiana, Lisa Luper shares an article titled Why I Homeschool–Part One: (Because I was homeschooled), writing: “I wanted to take the next few blog posts to answer the classic question of why I homeschool.

    “As homeschoolers we need to find ways to reach out to teachers and parents who don’t want to see childrens’ 12 years of compulsory schooling reduced to skills training for big business.
