Homeschooling has surged in popularity in the United States, with a record-breaking 2.5 million children being homeschooled in 2019. In her book, "The Homeschool Choice," Kate Henley Averett delves into the motivations behind parents who opt to homeschool their children, exploring various perspectives. Through in-depth interviews, Averett examines why parents choose homeschooling, ranging from concerns about sex education and LGBT content in schools to safeguarding their children's sexual and gender identities. The book provides a revealing account of how homeschooling is becoming a trend embraced by a diverse range of American families, often serving as a means to empower or restrict children's gender and sexuality.

Averett also examines how homeschooling has reshaped the roles played by families, schools, and the state in shaping children's lives. As educators, parents, and policymakers engage in debates about the future of public education, "The Homeschool Choice" sheds light on the ongoing struggle over school choice.
