Question

What are the advantages of Home Schooling?

Answer 1

You keep them sheltered away from the real world, when they get out there in it, and live it, and see the reality they haven't seen or known, it will swallow them whole! the world is cruel. The more you get out there in it, the better chance for survival in it.

Answer 2

your child will end up an antisocial outcast with zero social skills, and no outside life.  

Answer 3

Time. Time to explore, time to finish, time to go deep into a subject of interest, time to be together as a family

-Passions. Kids can spend the minimum amount of time on subjects they aren't good at and spend alot of time on their passions. Macy is a girl our family knows. She loves the violin. When she attended a special school of the arts, she never ahd time to practice her violin. Now that she homechools, she chooses to play up to 6 hours a day.

-Flexibility. You can plan you own schedule. Your early riser child can work early. You night owl can sleep in. And you can take school on the road, if your family travels frequently.

-Choice. Unless you opt for an online program, you can choose the curriculum, books and programs that best fit you children's learning styles and needs.

-Family. time spend as a family helps build relationships and makes memories. You will all be learning together and spending  time together.

-Character Development. Parents have time to adequately deal with character issues with their kids. Parents can also asses the social and emotional needs of their children in order to help them lead balanced lives.

Best of Luck!

Answer 11

Homeschooling allows for more options for how to spend your time.  Since you aren't stuck in a classroom for all those hours, you can experience the rest of the world in your own way.  

I'm always surprised when I see answers implying that school is the only place to socialize and even shocked that it is somehow viewed at "the real world". lol  

When people spend so much of their time in school, it seems that they lose their ability to imagine there is life outside.

It's a big world with lots of people.  School can keep you away from that, and homeschooling opens it up.
