We’ve talked here before about research on homeschooling, and especially about last year’s badly designed Gen 2 Survey. With this background, I’m especially excited about some new research being conducted by Homeschool Alumni Reaching Out. Here is an advertisement for a new survey, from Homeschoolers Anonymous:
Calling All Alumni of Christian Homeschooling: We Have A Survey For You!
By R.L. Stollar, HA Community Coordinator
Homeschool Alumni Reaching Out (HARO), the parent non-profit organization of Homeschoolers Anonymous, is happy to announce our first-ever comprehensive survey: the 2014 Survey of Adult Alumni of the Modern Christian Homeschool Movement. This survey is open to any adult homeschool alumni (18 years old or older) raised in a Christian homeschool environment.
For the purposes of this survey, “alumni” designates everyone homeschooled for the majority of their K-12 education; in other words, for at least 7 years. The survey is open to anyone in that category, whether your experience was positive or negative and whether you are still a Christian or not. By “Christian,” we are including the broadest possible definition, including Christian-identified new religious movements.
The purpose of the survey is to investigate the life experiences of Christian homeschool alumni by collecting information that past surveys of homeschool alumni have not. We have done our very best to create fair, balanced questions without any leading or attempts to skew results. All results will be anonymous and used for informational purposes only.
If you are an adult alumni of this movement, we would greatly appreciate your involvement. We would also love for you to share the survey with your friends and former homeschool peers through word of mouth and social media. The more responses, the better!
Go to www.HomeschoolAlum.com to learn more and take the survey!
I’m interested to see this study’s findings, so if you qualify please do take the survey! Also, the further this survey spreads the more accurate it will be, so please pass it on to others who qualify, and promote it in other groups or forums.
