Homeschooling is fast gaining phenomenal popularity & growth. Parents find it as the perfect answer to give well rounded,superior quality & focused education that is attuned specifically to their childs needs, learning styles, personalities, and interests – at a far lesser cost than that of a regular private or public school, right in the comforts of home. Bad influences,bullying, teasing, peer pressure to fit in the group, incompetent school & lack of moral & religious education are some other factors considered by homeschooling parents for their decision.
Home-schooling has proved itself with the excellent academic achievements of home-schooled children. Obviously great care is taken by the homeschooling parents to do the best to ensure their children's work is of a high academic standard.
If you are a parent trying to explore the homeschooling option for your child, then consider the following questions to make a decision...
1) Are you dissatisfied with the ”one size fits all “ approach of conventional public or private schooling.
2) Do you believe that all & sundry that was drilled in your head in the name of education is or was ever at all relevant in your life.?...
3) Does your child’s education consists of drab homework, writing / copying printed notes, expensive & irrelevant projects & learning by rote .
4) Was teaching really an ambition for the teacher as a chosen career? Does the teacher really have an aptitude & competence to teach? Can she teach your child effectively in a class of 40…is your kid getting lost somewhere?
5) Is your intelligent & gifted child forced to slow down to average or does he need more help & instead overlooked & left behind ?
6) Do you have the time to devote for homeschooling?
7) Do you want to spend more time with your child living,learning,& playing?
8) Most important ?---Do you not feel that your child deserves something better than what the conventional educational system offers.
