Parents who wanted to teach their kids at home did so in secrecy. With blinds drawn. They wanted to protect their kids from society's evils; society, in turn, thought of them as zealots. In 1984, a group of parents huddled in an Orlando convention center to form an association of homeschoolers. The group, in the words of a founding member, was 'pretty weird.' The stereotype of homeschoolers--religious conservatives and spelling bee winners--remains to this day. Everything else has changed. Homeschooling has gone mainstream." (ST.
