Why do people choose to homeschool their children?
Many people choose to educate their children at home because they feel certain that they can provide a higher level of education through homeschooling than the child would receive in a traditional classroom. Most studies have proven that this is in fact the case! Unfortunately, many teachers today spend the majority of their time on disicipline issues while the more ‘well-behaved’ children study on their own. The rigid structure of the classroom discourages creativity and independent thinking. Children have an intuitive love of learning which is often stifled once they get to school mainly because teachers do not have the time to deal with interests that are not on their curriculum. Eight hours of structured learning and even structured play for an education that is mediocre at best is a higher price than some parents are willing to pay for their childs ‘education’.
