He doesn't mention anything about schooling.

In his book, The Audacity of Hope on page 344, Obama writes: "none of these policies need discourage families from deciding to keep a parent at home…For some families, that may mean doing without certain material comforts. For others it may mean home schooling….Whatever the case may be, such decisions should be honored." On his website he also says this, "Prepare Teachers: Obama and Biden will require all schools of education to be accredited. Obama and Biden will also create a voluntary national performance assessment so we can be sure that every new educator is trained and ready to walk into the classroom and start teaching effectively." He also supports the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the UN tribunal authorized to interpret and enforce the Children's Convention, sets forth an exhaustive index of children's rights, many at odds with the rights of parents. It has held, for instance, that Britain violated children's rights in Wales by allowing parents to withdraw their children from public school programs without first considering the children's wishes. In other words, the United Nations has determined that the government will decide what is best for our children.

Contrary to some of the partisan opinions you may find online, President Obama has never said anything negative about homeschooling. He has made many speeches about the importance of education, but most of the time, he does not single out any one kind of education-- whether homeschooling or public schooling or private schooling. Rather, the focus of his speeches is about the need to create positive learning environments, where children can excel and compete with students from other countries. But websites which claim he is an enemy of homeschooling, or that he wants to ban it, are not accurate, since he has said no such thing.

No. Homeschooling is usually mandated at a federal level and there are numerous countries (like Brazil, China, Germany, and Greece among others) which prohibit homeschooling.

How much does homeschooling pay?

Homeschooling is not a paying job. Parents who don't like public education and aren't satisfied with the local private schools have the option of homeschooling their kids in some states. If you're talking about teaching other people's kids in their homes, then you are talking about tutoring, not homeschooling.
