Objective(s): Study continued from 1996. To examine the question, how does home schooling reflect choice and empowerment for parents choosing the type of schooling they prefer for their children? Specifically, it will examine: how extensively is the phenomena of home schooling; what reasons are identified by parents for such a choice; how does home schooling reflect parental concerns; and, where home schooling parents have chosen to re-enroll their children in the school system, how does this action reflect parental empowerment in the choice of the children's education.
Project Description: Study continued from 1996. School Principals will be contacted during the 1996/97 school year to collect data on the number of students involved in home schooling in each community. In the towns of Fort Smith, Hay River, and Yellowknife, parents of home schooling children will be contacted through principals to participate in tape recorded interviews. Data collection will be limited to mail, phone, FAX, and personal contacts.
