In the early 1980s, only a few thousand American families homeschooled their kids. Now, an estimated million and a half children in the US are schooled at home, and as many as two-thirds of these children are evangelical. We’ll find out what this remarkable rise of homeschooling means for American education. We’ll talk to Rob Reich, professor of Political Science at Stanford University, and Mitchell Stevens, professor of Educational Sociology at NYU and author of Kingdom of Children: Culture and Controversy in the Homeschooling Movement.
