Homeschooling
Homeschooling something that’s grown over time and is become popular in homes. The children are taught at home, by either the parents or a teacher that comes to the home a few times a week, or every day like normal schooling. Children being schooled at home get many options when learning, and also get to grow around the home. Homeschooling is a smart idea for parents to consider for their kids because of different socioeconomic factors in the child's life, keeps the child safer, and gives them more opportunity to use religious instruction in what they are learning.
When parents are choosing to homeschool, or put their children in public schools they look at the different socioeconomic factors in their lives. These socio-economic problems help in the decision to homeschool their children. Depending on how many kids are living in the home, it may be easier to homeschool their kids instead of on sending them to public school. “ homeschooled students were more likely than public or private schooled students who are living in families with three or more children” (Princiotta and Bielick, Web). Parents that are living with three or more children, it is easier for the parents to school from the home instead of sending them all to public school. If the guardians were tight with money and couldn't afford to buy uniforms or buy them all the clothes they all need, it would be a lot cheaper to have them hand me downs for the children. Another thing is if the children are
Some families prefer to homeschool their kids because they don't agree with the public school system, not because they are Christians. There are people who don't agree with how their student is taught in public school, and there are also student's who were bullied in public school so they start homeschooling. Some families just prefer to spend more time with their kids rather than sending them off to school eight hours a day. Parents who homeschool also might prefer a more involved style of parenting, which could influence their decision to homeschool. Some families also homeschool just because they have the ability
Homeschooling is an option for your child if you do not want them in public or private schooling. Today’s society of parents will make that choice for the child, wither the child wants to or not. Many parents think that public schools are not educating their child enough so they resort to homeschooling. This would mean devoting your time as a parent by helping support them in learning and to make sure they will succeed with their education.
As civilization has changed, so has the school system. Consequently, the impact that educational environments have had on students have changed. While the traditional-school approach is massively popular, homeschooling can solve many of the problems that the current educational system brings about. Students who grow up in a homeschooled environment are allowed flexibility around their learning curves and decreased likelihood of both pornographic and violent exposure.
Is homeschooling the better option? Sure, it may not be for everyone. Maybe the disadvantages intimidate you. However, each decision we make, as parents, has at least one disadvantage. We must decide whether the advantages outweigh the cost. Therefore, before you jump to conclusions, let’s take into consideration some of the benefits homeschooling can offer. Homeschooling is more cost effective. Homeschooling provides many benefits such as the elimination of bullying, better test scores, children can work at their own pace, and families have more time together.
The strongest oppositions to homeschooling that I hope to refute are that children who are homeschooled tend to be socially awkward, because they are said to be “isolated from the rest of the world” as I have often heard. Another common misconception is that children who are homeschooled are not prepared for higher education, whether it is going to high school or college. Lastly, children have too much flexibility in their schedules and tend to not spend an adequate amount of time solely on school work. People who are opposed to homeschooling usually only have these oppositions because they have little or no knowledge on the subjects.
While homeschooling is legal in all 50 states, federal courts have not settled the issue of whether homeschooling should be considered a fundamental right. This means that in the future, an anti-homeschooling state legislature could take away the ability to homeschool. To protect itself against efforts to suppress the homeschooling movement, Raley suggests that the homeschooling movement seeks to have homeschooling recognized as a fundamental right under the Fourteenth Amendment. If homeschooling were recognized as a fundamental right, regulations on it would be subject to additional scrutiny. Namely, a law that curtails a fundamental right must satisfy three tests:
Going to school without the requirement to set foot outside, wake up early, or even get dressed, a dream for some, reality for more and more every year. Homeschooling has experienced a major boom within the last few decades, causing more people to be aware of it. However, this also leads to more people who, while cognizant of its existence, criticize it for administering lackluster teaching to children. But with a willing parent and child, homeschooling can be equal to or better than a public education. The opportunities for children to study in a home environment are invaluable.
When adults think about educating their children, they often forget the option of home school. The idea of home schooling started many years ago. For many people this was the only option, because either public schools lacked or the schools were too far away for them to attend. Today, there are children being home schooled by their mothers and fathers. Some of the main reasons parents find from home schooling are: the children often become more independent and more responsible with their behavior, the peer pressure is reduced, vacations and trips can be planned, families can spend more time together, and there is usually less stress because the children don't have to rush out of the house every morning. These reasons and many more, are
When it comes to starting a new education, most people go straight towards the thought of public school. Although this type of schooling seems very popular, a different type of education has been sprouting out from the ground which is homeschooling. Homeschooling is “a type of education where children learn outside of a school setting under the supervision of their parents” (Ceceri n.p). Although it doesn’t necessarily seem like it, homeschooling has been around for hundreds of years. Back then, “most children were taught at home” sometimes families would even hire tutors and parents “taught their own children using books or sent their children to a dame school where small groups of children were taught be a neighbor in exchange for chores” (Ceceri n.p). On the other hand, “It’s believed that between one to two percent of all school-age children are homeschooled” (Ceceri n.p). This is due to different types of life styles parents have and want to ensure that their child is keeping up with it through day to day life. For example, it could be a family who has certain religious and educational beliefs. For others, it could be so the parents and children can spend more time together or simply because it fits into the parents schedules better.
Last year, my husband and I were trying to decide what was best for each our children when it came to his or her education. Although Freeport, Illinois, does not have a significant amount of schools from which to choose, we certainly looked at them all. After we had spent numerous hours talking to teachers and touring classrooms, we were not impressed by any of the local schools. Basically, every school offered the same general subjects served in a cookie cutter fashion. We, however, wanted our children to have a more diverse and individualized education. Therefore, we decided to look into other options of schooling, particularly homeschooling. “[P]arent-led home-based education . . . is an age-old traditional educational practice that a
How does the society expect their children would be educated? Education is the most important things that a person should have in order to survive. Education is unlimited and has no boundary. Parents have their own pattern on how to conduct their children development. One of the ways is through homeschooling. Homeschooling is parent-led based education. It’s a practice where parents teach their children at home. People think that it brings a lot of adverse effect rather than the good ones but, here are so many sources that have let the cat out of the bag about homeschooling. It turns out to be the other way around. So, the purpose of discussing homeschooling is to expose the benefits of it to society.
Where and when do you feel you are studying well? It can be when you are studying as a group or by yourself, somewhere which is quiet or it can be somewhere has some noise, and during the night time or during the dawn. Most of people who are reading this, might be attending traditional schools. Many of you will say that we are not satisfied with the education and some of you might say that we do not want to go to school. However, I think attending a school is a blessed thing. I am going to talk about why traditional schools are better than homeschooling. For the evidence, I will tell you about the disadvantages of homeschooling, the advantages of traditional schools, and also examine the friendship problems in homeschooling.
Homeschooling is a type of education which children are taught at home, usually by their parents or tutors, instead of in conventional public or private schools. While it is common in some countries, especially America, according to the Hong Kong Education Bureau (2001), if parents stop their children from attending school without valid reasons, they might be issued with an attendance order requiring them to send their children back to school. However, as there were recently controversies over the Hong Kong educational style and the work load of students, it may be time to think of alternatives such as homeschooling. The effectiveness of homeschooling has been widely discussed. Supporters believe that curricula of greater depth and bread can
One question most parents of young children have to consider is whether or not they want to homeschool their children or send them to a public school. Over recent years, homeschooling has become much more popular. “There are about 2.3 million home educated students in the United States. This is up from one estimate that there were about 2 million children home educated during the spring of 2010 in the United States. It appears the homeschool population is continuing to grow (at an estimated 2% to 8% per annum over the past few years)” (Ray, 2016, p.1). Homeschooling is better than public schooling for various reasons, but some people may disagree with this statement and argue that public schooling is better because of more socialization, access to clubs and sports, cost less and etc. All these reasons can be shown to favor homeschool education by evaluating them through aesthetic, moral, and practical criteria.
Why do people home school? It is found that families choose to home school because they want higher curriculum enrichment and want more opportunities for the child to accelerate. The main reason for home schooling though is because of moral and religious reasons; they want to remove their children from a defunct school environment. There are also the families who use home schooling in a more negative way. Some single mothers are now home schooling their children so that they can have babysitter for their younger children while they work 2 jobs to support the family. Some are taking their children out of public schools because of disciplinary problems yet they aren’t motivated or skilled enough to teach their children on their own.
