“…Teasing out the nuances of the mothers' motivation proved challenging and it was even more difficult to conclude whether specific values (such as a strong family orientation or emphasis on moral values) could be attributed specifically to religious beliefs. This further supports findings that there is great diversity within the homeschooling population (Beláňová et al, 2020).…”

“…This study suggests that homeschooling can fulfil the mothers' emotional needs, thus representing a two-way process where both sides (children and parents) benefit. However, it is also possible that the concepts of "gifting" and "receiving" may be influenced by the Christian narrative, beliefs, and the language experienced by many of the respondents in these contexts (Beláňová et al, 2020).…”

“…The likely main reasons for the popularity of homeschooling in North Carolina include availability of resources and the friendly legislation (Gaither 2017). Additional reasons for the rising numbers of homeschoolers may be poor quality public schools (Neuman, 2018) or religious fundamentalism (Beláňová, Kostelecká, Machovcová & McCabe, 2020;Kingston & Medlin 2006). Isenberg (2007, p. 404) argues that "there is some evidence that poorer academic quality of public schools and decreased choice of private schools both contribute to an increase in homeschooling."…”

“…Similarly, North Carolina is part of the so called "Bible Belt" -a southern region of the U.S. where church attendance is higher than the national average and where evangelical Protestantism plays an important role. Conservative Christians may be choosing to homeschool their children instead of sending them to secular the gift of homeschooling: adult homeschool graduates... public schools (Beláňová et al, 2020). At the same time, North Carolina is a state with many Catholic and other Christian schools that religious parents can choose from should they wish to "avoid" public schools.…”

Although still a marginalized practice, homeschooling is on the rise internationally and across socio-economic groups. Moreover, the current Covid-19 pandemic has shifted additional attention to homeschooling. However, much of the available research is primarily concerned with the current day-to-day practice of homeschooling and little attention is paid to adult homeschool graduates. This exploratory study, based on qualitative interviews with mothers and adult children from 12 families, examines young adults’ overall evaluation of their past homeschooling experience and aims to understand how parents and children view the pros and cons of homeschooling in hindsight. The data analysis revealed that homeschoolers approach education more broadly than focusing strictly on the academic side and it identified the common theme of “gifting,” which challenges the prevailing conceptualization that homeschooling is a “sacrifice.” Respondents viewed their homeschooling experience as a mutually beneficial process of giving and receiving rather than a unidirectional act of “sacrifice.”

In March 2020 a state of emergency was declared in the Czech Republic in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which that resulted in the closures of schools. The provision of education continued through mandatory remote home-based education. The aim of this study is to use in-depth interviews to show how Czech families with children at the primary levels of education have coped with this situation. Based on a qualitative analysis, it is possible to state that the families who participated in the research were coping well with the situation and had come up with effective arrangements both for providing education and for fulfilling other responsibilities. The research also revealed that many families consider this to be very demanding time. At the same time, we identified that the way how families tackled the situation of home-based education depended on several factors. The key role was played by the school factor, namely the quality of remote education offered by school and the communication between the school and the parents. The analysis showed that although the quality of communication and remote education offered by school improved between spring 2020 and autumn 2020, schools still have much room to improve the education provided.
