What do you enjoy most about Homeschool?

Question

Me, it would have to be I get to choose when I want to do my school work! Also, of course more freedom ♥

Answer 1

A chance for the family to actually live, and work together rather than occasionally occupying the same house.

The closeness of the siblings; they are best friends.

The independence our children gain early on, as well as seeing them grow in their abilities daily.

The freedom to choose our own path, and set our own schedule.

Answer 2

My schedule can look like this:

~7:30: Wake up. (I'm a morning person.)

9:00-~11:00: Self-assigned scholarly pursuits that have gotten me in to the 99th percentile on all the tests I've taken. I didn't do so well on the PSAT though...only the 94th percentile because of my math. I'm doing proofs and they're not on the PSAT.

11:00-1:00: Read, play WoW, do stupid stuff with my cat.

1:00: Leave for rehearsal and chill with my theater group for three and a half hours.

4:30-10:30: Hang out with my friends, wander around with my boyfriend, play video games with my sister, boyfriend, and last remaining friend from school. Anything I want, as long as it's legal and I get home by 10:30.

What a shame I'm so unsocialized.

Answer 5

Freedom...

- Freedom to set our own schedule

- Freedom to make our own plans

- Freedom to make changes

- Freedom to go out when we want to go out, and stay in when we want to stay in

- Freedom to be with the people we want to be with... and walk away from the people we don't want to be with

- Freedom to learn a wide variety of things

- Freedom to have a broader variety of social opportunities

- Freedom to trash a book or approach if it isn't working

- Freedom to find something that works better

Oh, I could go on, but "Freedom" sums it up nicely.

Answer 6

Freedom to set our schedule... freedom to study what our family deems important... freedom to read the books we LIKE for language arts!  

Freedom for each child to work at their level in each subject.  No need to push ahead in one subject in order to move ahead in the others... move ahead in each subject when you are ready to.

Answer 7

Freedom!

Plus, we saved money, raised more intelligent children, had a safer learning environment, were able to set our own agenda, traveled more, laughed more, hugged more, did more things together as a family, learned to trust our instincts, learned to be more patient,  learned alongside of our children,  and on...and on...

Answer 8

That if there a test my mom always leave the test somewhere and i can peek at it also that i can eat on my couch and do everything and FREEDOM

Answer 9

Everything!

Lame answer, but true.

Answer 10

Being able to study the truth freely, and being able to advance my intellectual capacity instead of being held back because of age.

Free to look at both sides of a problem. Free to discover new things.

Answer 11

ahhh, spending quality time with my children, getting to know them in ways I could not if they were gone all day, knowing what interests them, what does not, seeing their personalities and educational style emerge, and on a more selfish note, learning so much myself.

And lastly, enjoying the fact that I am free to exercise my right to educate my children in the way I see fit.

But, I'm a mom, that may not be the answer you were looking for.... :)

Answer 12

Honestly, what I like best is that my kids aren't being subjected to stupid rules created to manage large groups of unruly, disrespectful kids!  My kids were model citizens in school yet daily suffered through a 'silent lunch' because of a few rotten loudmouth kids in the cafeteria.  People say homeschooling stifles socialization but it's the opposite for us: public school (ours, anyway) stifled their socialization.

After that, a close second is setting our own schedule.

Answer 13

Being at home with my mum, dad and siblings;

Not having to go away to boarding school;

Getting to grow up against the background of my own society and my own culture;

Studying those things that are important and relevant to me and my future;

Being able to push myself to achieve a far more rigorous and challenging education than would otherwise be available to me at school.

Answer 14

hhhmmm. i think its that i get to choose everything that i get to learn, and you can be in whatever grade you want to be in. like im taking college courses and im 12.
