homeschoolers
Parents' own pupils
Homeschoolers are children educated at home rather than in traditional schools, or the parents who teach them.
The term covers both: As homeschoolers, we set our own schedule could come from either child or parent.
Homeschooling families often form networks for group activities and shared instruction.
The practice ranges from structured curricula to unschooling, where children direct their own learning.
