When you can send your children to school, why would you allow your children to study at home? Well, for starters, you do not need to wake them up everyday at seven in the morning and send them off to school along with a number of different instructions. And you do not have to anxiously await their return every evening. Homeschooling allows you to control over the effects in your child's education and life. Now you are in full awareness and control over the development and growth of your child. You decide all the things that you child should learn and practice. You get to tailor the curriculum for the child so that it can suit the interests and needs of the child. This is the best benefits of schooling your child at home.
Another salient feature of homeschooling is the individual attention that can be given to your child. For example, if your daughter requires some more time to learn her math, she can always reduce the amount of time she spends on her English lessons and utilize the time for math. The best thing is that there are no fixed time slots for any of the subjects. This means that according to the learning capacity, the child can allot any amount of hours to any subject without any external pressure. The interests and abilities of the child will determine the time spent on learning each subject.
The child's school becomes an activity of the family. Parents can involve them at each step of the learning process. Family activities start engaging experiments and field trips. This helps the parents and the child spend more quality time together. Now the entire family gets a share in the chores, projects and games. Also, the child is not exposed to any negative peer pressure and bullying while making his or her own decisions and choices.
Homeschooling also helps in limiting the competition. There is no necessity for the child to prove his ability in relation to other students. His confidence stays intact. As parents understand their children best, they can suitably plan the study program for their children according to their interests. This also provides an excellent opportunity to interspers fun activities with difficult tasks. A trip to the local museum can be followed by a tough hour on algebra. This makes learning fun. Also the curriculum can be tailor to suite the child's learning style. Certain children need to write to learn, while some read and others require seeing objects.
The religious and moral learning of a child can also be regulated through homeschooling. Homeschooling provides parents with enough flexibility to incorporate their own ideologies and beliefs into the curriculum. This also helps prevent any sort of confusion from cropping up in the child's mind, as there is no difference between what is practiced and what is taught.
There are a lot of parents who are losing faith in the system of public schooling. They are dissatisfied with the system. Some feel the system pushes their children too hard while some believe it is not pushing enough. There are many other concerns regarding ethics and discipline that makes public schooling seem less appealing.
