More Students Hitting the Books Online. 21 August 2008, Las Vegas Now, Las Vegas, Nevada

Thousands of valley children head back to the classroom on Monday, but for a growing number of Nevada students, that trek takes them no farther than their own living room. Thanks to the internet and new online learning programs, the mystery and stigma surrounding home-school is quickly disappearing.

Until recently, parents choosing to home school their children felt isolated — alone not only in their belief that it would be a better choice for their family, but also because there were precious few resources to help them. But that’s not the case anymore.

In which century was this piece written? 

“Mystery?” 

Results 1 – 10 of about 9,050,000 for homeschooling

“Stigma?”

Results 1 – 10 of about 133,000 for colleges admit homeschoolers

“Isolated?”

Results 1 – 10 of about 478,000 for homeschool support

“Precious few resources?”

Results 1 – 10 of about 718,000 for homeschool curriculum

How hard was all that?

As for “NCA,” well, it seems that active marketing of services is accepted by state bureaucracies everywhere.
