Home Schooling: A study of reasons why some Central Queensland parents choose the home schooling alternative for their children

In Queensland, the vast majority of school -aged children attend government state schools, with a significant proportion attending private schools. There is, however, a small but growing number of children who attend no school, but are schooled in their own homes. Some of these, because of distance, have no choice, but there are others who could attend school but do not. It is this latter group in particular, who have become more prevalent in recent times.
