At the end of the school day, the bell rings and children pour out of the door, chatting with each other, roughhousing as they head out for the day to the school bus, to their waiting parents or after‐school‐care van, or on foot or bicycle to home. This is a picture repeated about 180 days a year all over the country in communities from small to large. But for more and more kids, their school days have a different kind of ending because their families have chosen alternatives to traditional school.
