Home schooling or homeschooling, if you want (in deed, you even see it hyphenated, as in home-schooling) has been about for about 30 years now, although, of course it was all parents had before state involvement in education. Remote thinly-populated places in large countries like the USA, Canada and Australia still have to rely on home schooling to a large degree, although it is less difficult now with the wide-spread use of radio, television and the Internet. Video packages also have an important role, as do books still.

In the last decade, home schooling has become very popular especially among middle and upper-middle class families. There have been lots of arguments over the years about home schooling, but pedagogues claim that there are advantages as well as disadvantages in home schooling but it seems that the former outweigh the latter and so, a lot of families are now selecting home schooling over the traditional schools.
