Honestly, I guess I haven’t been paying enough attention to the candidates. But check this guy out (from Transworld News):
However,
Ron Paul has voiced his opinion on home schooling. He calls it a
“practical alternative” for families. He strongly supports
the issue and option of home schooling in America and puts such a
strong emphasis on it, one wonders why the other candidates
haven’t mentioned their takes on this interesting educational
issue. According to USAElectionPolls.com and their reports of the ARG polls,
Ron Paul is still only coming in with 1% of supporters at this point.
One could guess that 1% are home school supporters, no doubt.

The reason Ron Paul agrees home
schooling is an important part of American education is because he
believes parents should have more control over the education of their
children. He wants to take home schooling incentives even further by
advancing tax credits via the Family Education Freedom Act. This would
allow parents to use more of their own income for their home schooling
efforts. He vows to protect home schooling parents by promising
“federal monies must never be used to undermine the rights of
homeschooling parents”.
