Homeschooling Boys vs. Girls?
A recent report found that between 2003 and 2007 the ratio of boys to girls being homeschooled went from right around 50-50 to 42-58.
The folks over at Why Homeschool have created two polls for people to indicate how many boys and girls they are homeschooling. If you homeschool, please take a moment to fill it out:

I would appreciate any insight you have into why parents might be more likely to homeschool girls, so please leave any thoughts you have.

I would venture to say that people would hs girls more because they cooperate and sit still longer. However, personally, having hs’d 2 girls, and enjoyed them all along, I’m really enjoying the boys, too, because their lack of sitting still is allowing (forcing) me to be more creative and not resort to textbooks. This is awesome and I’m having a ball!!
