More 1 on 1! As a homeschooler, thereare good points and bad. Hope this works!

Answer 5

Homeschooling is a good idea for stable families whose parent-child relationships are healthy, and who possess a good measure of self-discipline.

Homeschooling is bad for families whose parents let the kids run all over them, who don't set boundaries or follow through on opportunities, and whose kids don't respect their parents.

Of course, even with these less-than-desirable circumstances homeschooling can work but only if the parent-child relationship is remedied.  If all parties are committed to this, homeschooling can allow more time together in order to do this.

Answer 6

As long as your knowledge of other subjects is better than your grasp of English grammar - sure, go ahead.

Answer 11

good idea

Answer 12

Are you the parent or the child?

It's a good idea, as a parent, if you are willing to commit yourself to providing a great upbringing for your child.

As the student, it's a good idea if you want some more freedom, some more focus and you are motivated.

Answer 13

Always a good idea to look into new things.

Lots of people love homeschooling because it is versatile and offers so many varied opportunities to learn. It can be a wonderful way to get an education, but ultimately it is up to the parent and depends on the individual.

Answer 14

I wouldnt. You wont know many people so really you wont have much friends..

Answer 15

With as scanty of information as you've provided, I'd say it is not something you should pursue.

Answer 16

good and bad.

good: you child will be socializing with other kids and make some friends and be able to wear whatever he/she wants and not be judged.

Bad: your kid will not socialize with other kids

im in public school now and next year im being online home schooled.

Answer 17

GREAT idea!

Answer 18

Good idea!  You can do some much more with it than with public school!

Answer 19

good idea!

Answer 20

good

Answer 21

Well it depends.

It only works well with self motivated students who open books on their own and do work instead of goofing off.

It also depends on your finances and what you can afford.  As kids get other you need to do more than just supply books and software, but educational toys and gismos to work with.

So you have to decide if everyone can make the commitement or not.

Answer 22

I have just started homeschooling this year. My daughter is 6 almost 7. I love it. She has improved so much in her schooling. Also she is advanced in Math so she working on a high level where as in phonics we take our time so she doesn't get her sounds confused. We have bonded so much this year. I think it is the best thing I have ever done!
