An Article On Homeschooling
This article was found on New Zealand Conservatives website. It is very interesting if you are parent contemplating homeschooling your children. It would help you to make the decision.

National has made a deal with ACT whereby the door has been opened for "charter schools". I presume the reason given is that schools run by any one other than the State might be able to do better with the educational outcomes of the children that go to them. But it seems that the evidence for this is a bit thin on the ground.
So, it must really come down to the desire to give parents a choice in education - rather than having to send their child to the local public school, or the Catholic one if they have that choice - they'll be able to go to an alternative without having to pay private tuition fees. I don't think that is a bad idea as a general principle, however I find myself yet again bemused by this whole conversation.
