Bernadette Barela AC2304096 English Composition 1 Assignment 4 En120 08/29/2023 As a parent, you only want what is best for your children. Homeschooling your child can create a resource of learning opportunities that are not available with other school options. However, it is important to make an educated and informed decision so take into account both the pros and the cons. I will be looking at homeschooled students first. The pros: You have a more direct role in your child’s daily learning. You have the satisfaction that your children are developing skills, learning and maturing in a way that aligns to your goals and values. . You can use vacations and other activities as part of your homeschool curriculum. By purchasing bundled learning packets it can help with budgeting and ultimately help reduce costs. Your children can still participate in recreational leagues, amateur leagues, attend local homeschool sports classes, or create their own sports leagues. Less ridicule and social pressures that reduce self-esteem and discourage learning. You get to build stronger relationships with your children. No bullying. They get greater exposure to more adults through field trips and other activities.they can connect to other homeschoolers of varying ages and skill levels. Real-life skill building is stronger in home-based learning. Your child can move more quickly through assignments and subjects they understand, and spend more time on topics that are challenging. Homeschoolers tend to perform better on standardized tests. Ability to pursue your child's interests, have more personalized learning. Best part is no homework! Homeschool students often show a greater pride in their own
achievements, as they are self-motivated. Another benefit of homeschooling education is that it exposes children to more unique experiences. Parents and kids often cite how homeschool curriculum encouraged them to get out of the home and learn about science, art, math, and history in the real world. Experiencing things outside of a classroom is often more engaging and leads to better absorption of knowledge and skills. Of course, with educational freedom comes added responsibilities. parents are now required to become teachers and administrators. While we firmly believe every parent is capable of being the best teacher their child will have, it is important to point out that planning and scheduling are critical pieces to the homeschool puzzle. Be sure to take this into account as you consider whether or not to homeschool. Now I will be looking at the public school pros: Public schools generally have a range of children from the whole range of socioeconomic classes and a wide variety of backgrounds. This is the type of community that most people occupy as adults, and public school is an opportunity to meet it and learn to negotiate with other points of view and understand people with diverse backgrounds and values. Public schools generally have students with a range of abilities and disabilities. As with ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds, the diversity introduces students to the communication issues and interpersonal issues that rubbing elbows with people who are different from oneself provides. The number of students in a public school classroom provides opportunities, from large-scale projects to team sports. The number of students and funding allows public schools to have facilities and/or purchase equipment, such as laboratory equipment and technology. Public schools expose students to a variety of teachers: even in situations with one main classroom teacher, students may have additional instructors for foreign language, home economics, shop, physical education, drama, music, and art. Public schools also offer a wide variety of extracurricular activities, ranging from intramural sports to a range of clubs and other opportunities. Now I will look at the cons of homeschooled students in public schools: You now have to plan school-time and activities and handle the administrative work of being a teacher. You will have less time each day for yourself. Potential for more stress and fatigue by taking on
