This resolution recognizes the contributions of homeschooling in Arkansas by proclaiming February 26, 2025, as Homeschool Day at the State Capitol. The resolution highlights several key points about homeschooling, including that over 30,000 students were homeschooled in Arkansas during the 2023-2024 school year. It emphasizes the benefits of homeschooling, such as offering flexibility in education, allowing customization to individual learning styles, supporting students with special needs, and providing advantages in academic, mental, physical, and social development. The resolution also notes that homeschooling encourages student autonomy, allows for entrepreneurship opportunities, emphasizes family foundations, and is accommodating to special situations like military families or those with challenging schedules. Additionally, the resolution praises homeschooling for its ability to focus on individual student potential, life skills, and alternative learning approaches beyond standardized testing. The ultimate purpose is to officially recognize and celebrate homeschooling's positive contributions to education in Arkansas.
