This is the second of a multi-part series on homeschooling, a trend being followed by nearly two million students in America. As part of the research for this series, nearly three hours was spent with nine mothers who are homeschooling their children. Two of the nine are veterans of homeschooling, one having started over 20 years ago and the other having eight years of experience educating her children.

Jim and Cindy Dice began homeschooling their children in 1982. They hadn't even heard of this education option until Cindy heard a tape on homeschooling by Raymond and Dorothy Moore, home schooling advocates.
