Students, parents and community leaders are increasingly calling for reform and questioning whether institutions of education truly serve the public’s best interest. Questions of relevancy, safety and cost place incredible pressure on professional educators and school administrators. But these challenges to institutions of learning are not sudden or even new. They follow on the heels of an educational movement now nearly 30 years old: modern homeschooling.<\/p>\n
Citing a variety of reasons, including a desire to give their child more opportunity for self-directed learning in a safe, unhurried, stress-free environment and include in the curriculum the lessons of their cultural, moral and religious heritage which have guided them through life, parents are increasingly electing to forgo conventional schools and instead direct their child’s education in the home. Homeschooling is not a singular movement (Gaither, 2008; Murphy, 2012; Stevens, 2001). Within the homeschooling community there is a wide range of practices and attitudes toward education and the institution known as school. Homeschoolers attribute their educational practices to an array of religious, epistemic, and sociopolitical theories. What unifies homeschoolers is a decision to forgo the conventional school experience and instead become more directly involved in their child’s learning. Murphy (2012) presents two major definitions of homeschooling. The one summarizes homeschooling deftly: \u201cthe rejection of public (and private) schooling and the use of the home as the center of educational gravity,\u201d while the second provides a more complex framework comprised of several dimensions:<\/p>\n a student is homeschooled when (1) funding for the student education comes from the family, not the government; (2) the services are provided by the parents, not state-funded (or privately financed) employees; and (3) regulation of the enterprise is internal to the family, not the responsibility of the government (or another entity such as a religious body). The closer one is to the family\/parent end of the continuum on each of these three dimensions, the more robust is homeschooling.

Existe hoy una crisis institucional en Estados Unidos, y esta crisis en ning\u00fan lugar es m\u00e1s evidente que cuando se examinan las actitudes hacia las escuelas. Los estudiantes, los padres y los l\u00edderes comunitarios piden cada vez m\u00e1s reformas y cuestionan si las instituciones educativas realmente sirven a los mejores intereses del p\u00fablico. Las cuestiones de relevancia, seguridad y costo ejercen una presi\u00f3n incre\u00edble sobre los educadores profesionales y los administradores escolares. Pero estos desaf\u00edos a las instituciones de aprendizaje no son repentinos ni nuevos. Siguen los pasos de un movimiento educativo que ya tiene casi 30 a\u00f1os: la educaci\u00f3n en el hogar moderna. Citando una variedad de razones, incluido el deseo de dar a su hijo m\u00e1s oportunidades de aprendizaje autodirigido en un entorno seguro, sin prisas y sin estr\u00e9s e incluir en el plan de estudios las lecciones de su herencia cultural, moral y religiosa que lo han guiado a trav\u00e9s de vida, los padres optan cada vez m\u00e1s por renunciar a las escuelas convencionales y, en cambio, dirigir la educaci\u00f3n de sus hijos en el hogar. \u00bfQu\u00e9 es la educaci\u00f3n en el hogar? La educaci\u00f3n en el hogar no es un movimiento singular (Gaither, 2008; Murphy, 2012; Stevens, 2001). Dentro de la comunidad de educaci\u00f3n en el hogar existe una amplia gama de pr\u00e1cticas y actitudes hacia la educaci\u00f3n y la instituci\u00f3n conocida como escuela. Los educadores en el hogar atribuyen sus pr\u00e1cticas educativas a una serie de teor\u00edas religiosas, epist\u00e9micas y sociopol\u00edticas. Lo que unifica a los educadores en el hogar es la decisi\u00f3n de renunciar a la experiencia escolar convencional y, en cambio, involucrarse m\u00e1s directamente en el aprendizaje de sus hijos. Murphy (2012) presenta dos definiciones principales de educaci\u00f3n en el hogar. El primero resume h\u00e1bilmente la educaci\u00f3n en el hogar: \u201cel rechazo de la educaci\u00f3n p\u00fablica (y privada) y el uso del hogar como centro de gravedad educativo\u201d, mientras que el segundo proporciona un marco m\u00e1s complejo que comprende varias dimensiones: un estudiante es educado en el hogar cuando (1 ) la financiaci\u00f3n de la educaci\u00f3n de los estudiantes proviene de la familia, no del gobierno; (2) los servicios son proporcionados por los padres, no por empleados financiados por el estado (o privados); y (3) la regulaci\u00f3n de la empresa es interna a la familia, no la responsabilidad del gobierno (u otra entidad como un cuerpo religioso). Cuanto m\u00e1s cerca est\u00e9 uno del extremo de la familia\/padres del continuo en cada una de estas tres dimensiones, m\u00e1s robusta es la educaci\u00f3n en el hogar. (Murphy, 2012, p\u00e1g. 6-7) Ambas definiciones enfatizan la falta de dependencia del estado para los servicios educativos y el papel activo de la familia, especialmente de los padres. Para una definici\u00f3n que reduce el aspecto cr\u00edtico y, en cambio, enfatiza los aspectos positivos, ofrecemos simplemente: La educaci\u00f3n en el hogar es la visi\u00f3n de que la educaci\u00f3n es mejor cuando la ense\u00f1anza y el aprendizaje est\u00e1n integrados en las relaciones y actividades de la familia. Originalmente mal visto e incluso acusado de negligencia educativa por parte de algunos, los educadores en el hogar han persistido en su estilo de vida educativo. Cada vez m\u00e1s, los investigadores educativos que estudian a los educadores en el hogar encuentran ni\u00f1os bien adaptados y familias socialmente comprometidas. Los informes de \u00e9xito acad\u00e9mico han provocado que muchas universidades y colegios contraten a educadores en el hogar. La transformaci\u00f3n en la actitud de la cultura estadounidense hacia la escuela y los educadores en el hogar es significativa. Alguna vez un lugar que celebraba la escuela de una sola habitaci\u00f3n, American es ahora un lugar que reconoce la legitimidad de la educaci\u00f3n en el hogar, e incluso a menudo la admira.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":" There exists today an institutional crisis in America, and this crisis is nowhere more evident than when examining attitudes toward schools.
