Basics of Homeschooling There are instances when homeschooling is vastly more preferable than traditional schools. This is in situations when students are not fit to go to traditional classroom settings for one reason or another. Common reasons are problems with mental ability, emotional immaturity and social incapability. Classroom settings can be a jungle especially for children who are not so popular or those that find it hard to fit in. There you will find the bullies, who can bring trauma to your kid. With homeschooling, bullying is minimized. There is also less peer pressure. Parents can also ensure that the values that their kids learn are the values that they want to teach and not the ones that they learn from their environment. A random study of families adapting this study method has run surveys to be positively favorable. Compared to all their peers among accredited schools, private or public, home schooling curriculum results of validating exams for college entry, favors 80% mark of competence against counterparts, rating only 50% in effectiveness survey. For instance, with a reading program a homeschool teacher or a parent can skip lessons that the child has already mastered like the alphabet and concentrate on aspects that the child has not yet fully learned. Another advantage that a homeschool reading program provide is the fact that students can learn at their own pace without worrying about being left behind in the class or keeping up with the pace of others. Some experts don't even see statistical differences in terms of academic achievement between home school students taught by parents with less formal education and those students being taught by parents that have acquired higher formal education. There are other positive home schooling statistics available that will help prove that such a method of educating children is just as effective. Unlike traditional curriculum which is fixed, the homeschooling system allows changes, in fact it encourages them. Tailor-fit to the child Because of the fluid structure of homeschooling programs, the lessons can be tailor-fitted to the child s capability, pace and learning style. There is no pressure to keep up with the lesson of the day and students can start or finish their lessons any time of the day.
