I can think of no better example or ultimate example of local control than home schooling itself. This is a very positive topic and exciting topic because it is a topic that highlights successes and achievement throughout the country. This resolution coincides with Home School Week which begins in about one week, October 1 through 7, recognized as Home School Week throughout the country. So this resolution is indeed important to about 1.7 million Americans who are home educated throughout the country. I would like to share with my colleagues some interesting statistics. Home schooling has grown at about 15 percent a year since 1990. Somewhere between 6 and 18 percent of all children under 18 have had some type of home schooling experience.
