I was a bit bored and did a Google search for a variety of education related terms. Google returns:
1.5 billion hits for school
1.0 billion hits for education
26 million hits for public school
23 million hits for homeschool
13 million hits for home school
Most people still think of public schools as the place to educate their children. The most accepted statistics indicate that only 2% to 3% of the children in the US are homeschooled. Interesting that the ratio of hits for homeschool to school is about the same.
All the evidence shows that people are turning more and more to homeschooling. As the problems with public schools get worse more parents are willing to step into the unknown scary place where they are responsible for the education of their children.
I expect in another year the ratio of hits for homeschool to school will climb dramatically.

Why over the next year? I'd be interested in the numbers from about 5 years ago to now.
I agree five years out will also be interesting to see.
I believe that with the way things change so quickly on the internet that within a year we'll see a noticeable change.
