Texans Homeschool for Religious Reasons...

Most Texan parents who home-school their children are reportedly doing so for moral and religious reasons.

Some 70 percent of parents who homeschool their children choose such an educational option for religious reasons, according to a report released by the Texas Home Educators (THE) to the McKinney Courier-Gazette. Sixty percent of the parents cited academics as a reason to homeschool their young, while 30 percent pointed towards the overall well-being of their children.
