According to the National Center for Education Statistics of the U.S. Department of Education, the top three reasons that parents give for homeschooling their children are as follows: 1. They believe they can impart better education at home � 48.9% 2. They have religious reasons for doing it � 38.4% 3. They believe that school is a poor learning environment � 25.6% Only 15.1% do it to develop character and morality, and only 9% do it because of student behavior problems at school.
