More Black Families Home Schooling By ZINIE CHEN SAMPSON, Associated Press Writer Sun Dec 11, 6:19 PM ET RICHMOND, Va. - Denise Armstrong decided to home school her daughter and two sons because she thought she could do a better job of instilling her values in her children than a public school could. And while she once found herself the lone black parent at home-education gatherings that usually were dominated by white Christian evangelicals, she's noticed more black parents joining the ranks. ADVERTISEMENT "I've been delighted to be running into people in the African-American home-schooling community," Armstrong said. Home-school advocates say the apparent increase in black families opting to educate their children at home reflects a wider desire among families of all races to guide their children's moral upbringing, along with growing concerns about issues such as sub-par school conditions and preserving cultural heritage. news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051211/ap_on_re_us/black_home_schooling
