What is Home Schooling?
The pros of home schooling are obvious: one-on-one attention with a child helps them learn more efficiently; public schools may have different opinions and values than the parents want their children to have, and as parents you are trying to teach the morals that you hold and the beliefs that you have.
The cons: children do not have as many opportunities to interact with other children; and a parent may not be a very good teacher.
Teachers often punish children who have higher energy levels, because they cannot sit still. Many times the child is classified as ADD even if they can concentrate for long periods of time on things they find interesting. When you home school it is easier to take breaks if the child is having difficulty concentrating, and to tailor the education so that they may find it more interesting which is turn makes it easier to concentrate.
Home school is appearing to be a better option than public schools especially in this day and age where youth on youth brutality is become much more prolific. Bullying has always been a social norm in schools; however, the current trend is to punish the victim if they fight back in defense. In fact, I was recently discussing with a Kindergarten teacher about how their school dealt with a child who would hit anyone within arms reach. That child was not put in time out or detention only because it was considered an impulse control problem and it was deemed ‘not his fault’. If a child in this class hit back, then that child was put in time out because that child made the choice to hurt the other child. It is absurd to punish the person who is defending themselves, what type of a society are we establishing if no one protected their own well being?
Social skills are very important for the child’s development and can be easily obtained through extracurricular activities; such as social organizations like the boy scouts, or sports clubs like soccer. You can always arrange play dates with local kids, or utilize the YMCA after-school programs.
A parent may not be the best substitute for a certified teacher, which is why home school is regulated. Home schooled kids are required to take periodic tests and their assignments are submitted to be reviewed. If a child is not performing well, they are placed back into public school.
Home schooling is a education by children in their home,, occasionally the teacher is their parent itself but sometimes their parent pay someone tobe the theacher… homeschooling in the modern sense is the alternative in developed countries to formal education…
With this type of education, the parent can control the activity of their son and monitoring him/her studies,, but i think with this kind of school there are few disadvantage such as the son can’t have alot of friends in outer home, so he/she can’t have many experience about the world … And in long time he/she doens’t have a partner which can help him/her to survive in outer world …
This type of school are good but in this modern life, this school can make man become individualistic and never think what happens in the worlds recently …
Home schooling is a choice made by some parents to provide elementary, middle or high school education to their children in their own home. Many parents, frustrated by corrupt school boards, lack of religious instruction, underpaid teachers or unsafe conditions, have opted to teach their kids at home. Most parents cite family togetherness, more control over curriculum, and having a say over what their children learn as reasons to home school. Many of the families who home school also do so for religious reasons. There are many advantages to home schooling. For instance, parents teach their children one-on-one, rather than twenty- or thirty-to-one in a crowded classroom. With more personal attention, children often understand the material more quickly instead of lagging behind because they don’t understand. Parents also like being able to enjoy more time together as a family, instead of a few hurried hours in the evening. Children are safe in a home school situation. They don’t have to
Home schooling occurs when parents take charge of their children’s education — organizing subjects, teaching lessons or arranging for tutors, evaluating progress, and supervising social contacts. Home school parents believe that one-on-one attention and individualized study produce the best education possible; most also think that peer groups are NOT the best “socializing agent” for their children. Home schooling is legal in all fifty states, and home schooled children consistently score very highly on standardized tests and other measures of academic performance. Home schooling is no longer a fringe movement; recent surveys suggest that over a million American children are currently taught at home, and the number grows every year. Although many home school families are two-parent households with one breadwinner and one stay-at-home parent, many other families arrange home schooling around dual careers, single-parent schedules, and other less traditional arrangements.

A state of mind in which the parents recognize that they, not the state, are responsible for the education of their children and where the parents actively teach their children. At times the parents may employ agents to teach specific subjects, but the office is always at home. 2 Why would any parents want to teach their children at home? For many reasons. Some parents are dissatisfied with dropping test scores, some fear for their childrens safety, and some want a religious education for their children. Still others simply want to spend more time with their children and strengthen the family ties. 3 Is it legal? Yes, home school is a basic family right which has been repeatedly upheld in the courts. Seldom is legality challenged these days, but you should be aware that as the social planners move us toward a nationalized school system, they expect to catch everyone in their cradle-to-grave, school-to-work, seamless web. 4 Is home schooling against LDS Church doctrine?
