| 5 Advantages Of Homeschoolin |
What makes homeschooling better than traditional schooling? Lately, there has been a rising trend in families choosing to homeschool their child than send their child to a traditional educational institution.
Let's look at some of the benefits of homeschooling over traditional schooling:
1. Flexible Schedule
Homeschooling enables a flexible schedule. For example, the child does not need to wake up at 7 every morning. With homeschooling, your child can start homeschooling at 9am or later, depending on your preferred schedule. You can schedule your child's homeschooling education as you see fit with materials or subjects that may be not available in a traditional school.
You can tailor the homeschool curriculum to suit the needs and interests of your child.
2. Individual attention
In a traditional school setting, thirty to forty students are assigned to a teacher in class. Therefore usually, the teacher cannot devote 100 percent attention to any child since it will not be fair to the other children. Plus, it is pretty impossible to provide individual attention to all students.
With homeschooling, your child gets all the individual attention they need. For example, if your child is weak in mathematics, you could devote more time and energy to teaching mathematics.
Your child's homeschooling schedule can be adjusted to cater to that. For example, if your child is better at science than mathematics, simply devote more homeschooling hours to mathematics and cut back on science. With homeschooling, the choice is yours, and traditional schools can't do that.
3. Family Activity
The schooling of the child can become an extended family activity. Examples are field trips and experiments. The child also receives more quality time with their parents, and there is more time for family bonding. The child is also free of any negative peer pressure or influences.
4. No peer pressure
With homeschooling, the child does not need to prove their abilities to other children. Parents can deeply understand their child better with homeschooling and therefore can plan the learning program according to his strengths and weakness.
Parents can also change the curriculum to suit the learning style of the child. For example, some children learn better from reading while others need to write, and some children even learn better from experiencing or seeing things in action.
5. Religion Learning
Religious learning is a sensitive issue; hence most traditional schools shun it. However, with homeschooling, parents can take control over the moral and spiritual learning of the child. Parents can impart their ideologies and deep beliefs into the child rather than let the school dictate what moral and religious education the child will be receiving.
Homeschooling is the best way to educate a child, as you can see from the advantages listed below. If you have the time, the interest, and the ability, why not give it a try?
