Home schooler emphasis on mastery and not grades. Learning something and retaining it is always better than forcing it into your brain and forgetting it…
When considering whether or not to homeschool, there are several ethical considerations that should be made in order to ensure the child acquires the best education he or she can have. There have been several arguments made about the strengths and limitations of homeschooling. For instance, homeschooled children often aren’t privy to the same social experiences as children enrolled in private or public schools. With homeschooling being so unevenly regulated from state to state, it is harder to understand how many children are being homeschooled and whether or not appropriate considerations and accommodations are being made in the home to maintain legal educational standards and regulations.…
Almost nothing good comes from public schools. I hear that public school is a place where fights, drugs, shootings, and terrible teachers can happen. Only one thing good comes from public schools, all kids can go to get some education and parents can go to work then. I see schools as necessary but need more improvement. Parents have to deal with their kids bad attitudes that they can pick up from school.…
Being that I have experience with various ways to educate children, it is interesting to see how much children can learn regardless of if they are homeschooled or not. The homeschool policy, however, offers several advantages when it comes to educating children. As I have previously stated, it allows the family to grow closer together. Not only does it strengthen families, but it also protects and promotes families as a whole which is an important part of this family…
The Journal of College Admission demonstrated that homeschooled students are more successful grade and retention wise at a four year college institution also. The main reason parents choose to home school their child is the concern for the public school environment, and duly coming in second is dissatisfaction with academic instruction (Non Public Education in the U.S). Considering this data, parents often wonder how it could be possible that a homeschooled environment, that is usually condemned as seclusion, could provide academics that are much more satisfactory than public…

For the home schooling is the children will not know the real world, and may have problem interacting with other children. Parents chose sometimes because of the small sizes of the class or because there is homework every day, that may be advantage for some children, but not for all. Children get more attention from teachers, and parents know that their child is learning because is doing homework.

Homeschooling, also known as home education, involves the education of children at home instead of receiving education at a traditional private or public school. According to Bauman (2011), many students are schooled at home and the number in the United States is growing at 15 to 20 percent per year. It is a system in which parents prefer their children to be educated at home and argue that it is more beneficial for them. There are those who advocate homeschooling, while there are some skeptics about homeschooling as well. Homeschooling is becoming very popular and many see it as being a bad idea due to the fact that teachers in traditional schools are better qualified due to years of training, the child’s socialization skills will be negatively…

They can learn by going on vacation with their families, or leaving their house in general. They also may move from place to place because of a parent’s job, which is the main reason those parents decide to homeschool. “ [Speaking on behalf of her children] Life is a learning experience, so there’s always something to discover” (Mom Prepares). Public school students very rarely have this opportunity. Being that homeschooled students are more than likely the only students, they have a wide range of possibilities for different ways to learn, one of them being leaving their usual classroom.…

There are many stereotypes that homeschoolers have to deal with.…
In 2007, 1.5 million students were home-schooled in the United States, and that number continues to grow at a rapid rate even to this day. In just an eight-year time span from 1999 to 2007, there was a seventy-four percent increase of home-schooled children in the United States alone (Kunzman 2). This data corresponds with the rise of Americans who believe that parents should have the right to home-school their children; the approval rates for homeschooling jumped from just sixteen percent in 1985 to forty one percent in 2001 (“Trends and Issues” 9). While critics remark that many parents do not have teaching credentials and that a lack of socialization for a home-schooled student from a young age can lead to isolation and poor social skills,…
Parents cite two main motivations for homeschooling their children” which is dissatisfaction with the local schools and the interest in increased involvement with their children 's learning and development. Parents ' dissatisfaction with available schools includes concerns about the school environment, the quality of academic instruction, the curriculum, and bullying as well as lack of faith in the school 's ability to cater to their child 's special needs. Some parents homeschool in order to have greater control over what and how their children are taught, to better cater for children 's individual aptitudes and abilities adequately, to provide a specific religious or moral instruction, and to take advantage of the efficiency of one-to-one instruction, which allows the child to spend more time on childhood activities, socializing, and non-academic learning. Many parents are also influenced by alternative educational philosophies espoused by the likes of Susan Sutherland…
