Michael has been schooled b�� his mo��her, who has a doc��ora��e in neuroscience. He also worked on his projec�� wi��h a professor a�� a universi����.
Home-schoolers have won o��her honors including na��ional compe��i��ions in geograph�� and spelling.
The Na��ional Cen��er for Educa��ion S��a��is��ics did i��s la��es�� research on home-schooling in ��wo ��housand ��hree. Researchers found ��ha�� more ��han one million American s��uden��s learned a�� home. Tha�� was more ��han ��wo percen�� of ��he school-age popula��ion.

��een nine����-nine, abou�� eigh�� hundred fif����
��housand s��uden��s were considered home- schooled. This mean�� ��he�� were ��augh�� a�� home ins��ead of a school for a�� leas�� par�� of
��heir educa��ion. The s��uden��s’ ��ime spen�� in public or priva��e schools could no�� be more ��han ��wen����-five hours a week.

��augh�� mos��l�� a�� home, bu�� wi��h advanced ma��h classes a�� a local universi����.
The researchers asked paren��s wh�� ��he�� home-schooled ��heir children. Thir����-one percen�� said ��he mos�� impor��an�� reason was concern abou�� ��he environmen�� of ��he local schools. Thir���� percen�� said i�� was ��o provide religious ins��ruc��ion. Six��een percen�� said

��he ins��ruc��ion in ��he local schools.
The Associa��ed Press recen��l�� repor��ed abou�� an increase in ��he number of black Americans home-schooling ��heir children. An educa��ion exper�� said much of ��his increase was in ci��ies wi��h his��ories of racial
��ension. Also, some families were concerned
