Article on Homeschooling, leaning toward unschooling, Southern California

Home school no longer just for the deeply religious, enters mainstream

Not a very good title for the article; I think the editor didn't read very carefully. But Pam Sorooshian was interviewed, and that helps. There's a comparison to some statistics from 2007 and 2012, but it explains why those don't cover everyone. And in neither set was there a majority of religious homeschoolers.

Much of the focus is on how homeschoolers can get into California universities. Wes Beach is quoted, too.

The same article is in the Los Angeles Daily News site, so I'm not sure what the arrangement is between the two. Los Angeles Daily News' byline is "By Rob Kuznia, LA Daily News" and at the bottom it says "Rob Kuznia covers education for the Daily Breeze," so perhaps The Daily Breeze is a subsidiary.
