The purpose of this qualitative research was to investigate reasons that parents who had previously homeschooled their child(ren) later decided to enroll them in public school. Volunteers were parents who were recruited from a school district in an Intermountain West state. Some parents had homeschooled and had enrolled all children in public school; some still had children at home that were being homeschooled. Administrators from the same school district were also interviewed and their observations were compared to those of the parents. Contrary to the researcher's expectations and the opinions of most of the administrators, all five parents thought that homeschooling was a very viable option and were continuing to homeschool, or would be willing to homeschool if the situation warranted. Enrollment in the public school was a result of a family decision based on an analysis of the individual child's personality and talents. In addition parents and students were interested in taking advantage of certain classes or opportunities that were currently offered in the local public school. Administrators were consistent in the belief that public school was the best option, though they were all willing to work with parents who had homeschooled. While some administrators admitted that homeschooling was viable, all had had experiences where homeschooled children had returned to public school and were many grade levels below their peers. Further research into this phenomenon is recommended with emphasis on interviewing high school counselors concerning the graduation rates of homeschoolers who have enrolled in public school, and the success of the students in their classes.
