In the beginning, homeschooling began on the basis of racial integration. Originally, Protestants began to abandon the school system in the 1960's due to integration and the increase of Christian academics across the South. Recently, other religions have joined the world of homeschooling, such as Catholics (Marrin). Homeschooling is the fastest growing form of education in the country with a growth rate of seven percent (Home-school.com). Many religious families began homeschool for their children because the parents were unhappy with the sex education and religious teaching that was offered at parish schools. Also for Catholics living in major cities, they decided to keep their children away from Catholic, private, and public schools because of fear of violence or because their children would be distinctive religious or ethnic minorities (Marrin). Despite popular belief, homeschooling is good for a child because it consists of a non-stressful environment, the children are less likely to be affected be negative peer pressure, and a homeschooled child is more likely to become a productive member of society. A non-stressful environment consists of elements of peace or comfort. While homeschooling, children are surrounded by positive people. As most people may say, many families are not suitable to take on such a time investment and that is true. Dr. Scott Turansky states that, Some families aren't equipped to provide good social skills for their children. For example, a family with communication problems would not be fit to homechool their children due to the fact that the family is not able to provide proper social skills to the child. Dr, Turansky also says, the best model for social development is one where children have mature role models who relate to them individually as important human beings and one where parents mentor their children, teaching them how to relate in healthy ways. When a child has individual attention, they feel important. While children feel important, they are more likely to persevere through hard school work and push themselves to succeed. Also, when children learn how to relate in healthy ways, they are more likely not to be social outcasts. Another stres
