1. Home schooled children don’t have to stick to a routine or time table as opposed to their peers who go to school
2. Home schooling is free and parents don’t have to incur cost for school fees, building fees and admission fees.
3. You can set the pace for learning based on your child. This is especially useful in children who have speech problems and learning difficulties. If a child is slow then the teaching process is taken very slow to facilitate the child. Unlike in a class room, where children with leaning difficulties feel that they are left out or the teaching speed is too fast for them to comprehend.
4. Children get the feeling of togetherness when they are home schooled. Learning at home gives the child a sense of security, this will mould a child’s character and make them more self confident. The relationship between the child and the rest of the family tends to be very strong.
5. Children who are home schooled have better understanding and respect for adults, as their time is mostly spent in a home environment. The continuous interactions between adults and older member of the family make them more responsible at home and let them have good values and morals when they venture into the outside world.
6. Home schooling is not limited to sitting in the study and learning, it’s more like learning in day to day living. Especially in toddler’s where they watch their siblings interact and do things simply by watching and learning.
7. Parents don’t have to travel miles and miles to take their children to school. They can teach them right at their homes. Children don’t waste time commuting between school and home during peak traffic hours and waste time.
8. Children are not overly burden with home work. In an academic institution the teachers tend to assign a lot of home work on their student. Home schooled children are not often given home work and if they have been given, the assignments are simple.
9. The child is given individual attention. Parents are able to identify their child’s achievements and help him/her excel. A child’s weak points and good points can be identified by the parent, who can then spend a little more time to improve the weak points and further develop the good areas.
10. Your child does not interact with peers that are a bad influence on them. This is especially important today as juveniles are turning to a life of crime in and outside their schools.
11. Home schooling gives the child the freedom to decide what to do and how to do things and be creative. Schools may not always offer children the choice of using their imagination to be creative, these schools stress a lot on being methodical and structured, and therefore children become rigid and mechanical and lose their free spirit to imagine and create.
12. The home schooled child’s curriculum is very vast. The child is introduced to the practical approach to learning. For example you can teach you child home-economics, here she can watch you cook and help out. Also if you are maintaining the household budget you can always include your child in this activity, this approach helps the child have a better understanding how thing work in reality instead of text book learning.
13. The child has the time to pursue other interest. You child can paint, ride a bike or simply relax with a book or accompany you to a place of interest. Children who attend school don’t have time to pursue their own interest anymore instead they devote their otherwise “chill out time/fun time” on tutoring themselves or completing homework.
14. Home schooled children and parents don’t have to spend their time trying deciding on a school for their child. They don’t have to spend their time preparing paper work for admission to schools and staying in long cues to register the paper.
15. Parents don’t have to worry themselves over their child’s failing grades due to the child spending more time on making the soccer team or earning that football scholarship than studying. |
