LIFE Launches Tapestry of Homeschool Survey

Learning is for Everyone is hosting a Tapestry of Homeschool survey in an effort to counteract the modern day mythologies of homeschooling than range from misperceptions about socialization to assumptions about religious beliefs.

There are a lot of opinions about what homeschoolers want, who homeschoolers are, and how homeschoolers teach and learn. Unfortunately, many of those opinions come from people who don't homeschool, or who may have a particular interest in portraying homeschoolers a certain way.

Learning is for Everyone thinks it's time homeschoolers spoke for themselves, instead of for government statistical surveys, or for the private agendas of special interest groups.

Homeschoolers comprise a diverse and multifaceted community. Getting a better picture of who we are can help us support one another better, as well as better protect our collective right to direct our children's learning.

Results of the survey will be publicly available, but no personal information will be collected, nor will any information be sold or used for commercial purposes by Learning is for Everyone, Inc. Hard (paper) copies of the survey are also available on request for distribution at a local level by local and state homeschool groups.

The survey consists of 80 questions, many of which are optional fill-ins. And the survey asks questions LIFE believes will provide a far more accurate look at who we are and what's important to us. The survey will remain online through the summer.
