„Ucieczka z systemu”. Edukacja domowa z perspektywy rodziców dzieci szkolnych
“Escaping the system” – parental perspective on home education of school-age children

Summary/Abstract: Homeschooling has gained significant interest in the recent years. Despite this, the number of homeschooled pupils in Poland does not exceed 0.5% of all students, making homeschooling a nichealternative. This article attempts to discuss the need to revive the awareness around home education,including reasons for choosing this educational path, its advantages, disadvantages, consequencesand the level of parental satisfaction. Starting with the critique of the current schooling system asmotivation in moving towards educational alternatives, I conclude homeschooling to be an escapefrom the traditional schooling system. I have analysed data collected from parents of school-agedchildren in an attempt to recreate their view of contemporary home education. In contrast to existingresearch, my findings were collected under conditions of remote learning related to the covid19 pandemic.I believe that embedding my research in a quantitative strategy will allow further systematicexploration of this area and consolidation of reliable comprehension of home education in Poland.
