Modern Homeschooling Movement

Modern Homeschooling Movement

September 11, 2025

The modern U.S. homeschooling movement emerged in the 1970s, sparked by educators like John Holt and Raymond Moore. Holt, a former teacher, criticized traditional schools for stifling creativity and promoted unschooling, a child-led approach detailed in his book How Children Learn. Moores Better Late Than Early argued for delayed formal education to foster natural development. Their ideas, amplified by growing parental dissatisfaction with rigid school systems, inspired a grassroots movement, leading to millions embracing homeschooling as a flexible, personalized alternative by the 21st century.
