Financial strain is a source of pressure for many homeschooling families. Homeschooling is a huge commitment for families, is restricts usually one parent from getting a full-time job and source of income. This is a major issue that many families face. (Hernandez) A parent’s need to work often influences their decision to home school. Many families can’t afford to lose a source of income. “Some families are giving up [homeschooling] because of a stay-at-home parent’s need to get a job” (“Amid hard times, homeschooling families persist” par. 5). “For married parents, one partner often forgoes full-time employment out of the home in order to home school” (Shaw par. 3).
