Many choose homeschool for protection
As two working parents, the Hodges are a far cry from the stereotypical homeschool family with a stay-at-home mom and ultra-conservative moral and religious values.
Hodges likes that she and her husband can shield 9-year-old Amoree from exposure to drugs, alcohol and sex - at least while she's young. But she also likes that she can spend time with her daughter and that Amoree can learn at her own pace, advancing beyond her grade level in math.
