In 2013 it's estimated that there were only around 1,100 students being homeschooled in Queensland but that number has now jumped to more than 3,000 by 2018. It's estimated that around the country overall, there are roughly 20,000 students who are being homeschooled at the moment.
Homeschooling has been seen to be increasing in popularity as an alternative education option with families not only across Australia, but around the United States, Canada, in the UK, and elsewhere.

The number of children that are now registered in Western Australia for homeschooling has reportedly jumped at least 65 percent in just a few years.
Some of the different reason that families in Australia are now choosing to homeschool:
- parents don't feel the children are ready yet for full-time schooling
- parents feel their children are gifted but bored in a traditional school setting, not challenged enough personally
- concerns over bullying
- parents are worried that children won't cope well with that transition into high school
- students might have difficulty learning
- a lack of satisfaction with traditional public schooling
- parents want more flexibility for travel or social reasons
Of those parents who have opted to homeschool, some have noted that it's helped to reduce stress in their family, bring them closer together, and be able to help their children to find their individual gifts and flourish.

And once younger parents start their kids on coding, it will only increase as the blockchain does.

I'm surprised you didn't mention one of the most IMPORTANT reasons for this increase.
Governments forcing toxic vaccine shots on children, & if the parents don't succumb to the controlling power of the gov't, the kids aren't allowed in school.
Now that parents are finding ways to homeschool their children, the gov'ts are going to force them to poison their children & if they DON'T, they won't be allowed in public places, parents will be fined or thrown in jail.
In Turkey it was said they were going to throw the parents in jail.
I don't know about AUS, but that's how things are going down in some places in the US.
This is worldwide tyranny at it's FINEST!
i believe parents are now at risk of losing gov payments and child rebates if they refuse to vaccinate also? :/
@doitvoluntarily - where, in AUS or the US or both?
I believe it 100%.
I still don't understand WHY people can't see they are slaves to the state & the state has implemented MANY extermination programs to make us sick or kill us.
It's sooo obvious to me.
i believe all over? https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2016/jul/31/no-jab-no-pay-thousands-immunise-children-to-avoid-family-payment-cuts
Gawd, I had no idea that was in full force for the last 2 years.
I know in some of the ex/anti Vax FB groups I belong to there are some Aussies, but not a lot & I don't go in them every day, but I've never read that. : (
It makes me sooo angry (sigh)
I'd be careful about The Guardian. I'm still researching about who owns it.
I heard it was the Rothschilds, but of course everything is always hidden by several layers of corps so people don't know the truth.
don't you mean that they keep us safe :)?
I actually started writing up a new post on my blog about mothers who don't give their children vaccines & they detail how HEALTHY they are compared to vaccinated children.
It's really quite amazing.
