The table illustrates changes in the proportion of home schooled pupils across five different categories in a particular nation between 1999 and 2004.
In general, it is noticeable that different trends were observed in all the given years. While kindergarten was the most common grade group for the whole period, the opposite was true for ‘grades 1-2’.
At the beginning of the period, kindergarten students recorded 2.4 the highest proportion of grades among all the given categories. In the following years, student’s grades gradually rose to 2.9 in the year 2004 and showed a peak level of grades across all the given categories in some country. The second most popular groups, ‘grades 3-4 and 7-8,’ reached 1.6 in 1999 in the given nation, after which it both categories increased, starting at 1.6 and ending at 2.2 and 2.5.
In 1999, the least proportion of grades, 1.2 and 5-6, showed the same grades, at 1.5. While ‘grades 7-8’ grew dramatically to 2.5 by the end of the year, and remained the second most popular category among all the given trends, by contrast, ‘grades 1-2’ steadily rose to 2.1 in the year 2004 and maintained the lowest percentage of home schooled students among all the given groups.
