Summary/Abstract: Until recently, in the 20th and 21st century home education had existed mainly as a separate educational system, mostly in opposition to public education. For the last decades, the number of home-schooled children has grown rapidly internationally (cf. Ray, B. R. 2021) though there are still many countries where this form of education is unrecognised. However, when it is legal, its regulation differs from country to country. School closures from 2020 have changed the attitude towards home schooling. In our article we try to make comparisons between optional home education and emergency remote teaching, focusing on the advantages and disadvantages of each, while considering blended teaching as a relevant option for future education.
