Have you ever noticed that there are disadvantages to public school? For example, the kids are only around their parents and siblings maybe 4 hours each day, and much of that time is spent watching TV or playing video games.  And some hardly pay attention to most subjects; they just learn enough to get by. But there are many different benefits to homeschooling. Although it may not seem like much fun or very easy, children are highly assisted by it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For one thing, if I want to go on a family trip, I can bring my schoolwork with me and homeschool in the car! And if anybody gets done early, no problem. They can do fun stuff. Our family calls that \u2018free time.\u2019 It\u2019s nice that we still can go places and be flexible during the school year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another advantage is that a lot of kids behave better if their parents are around almost the entire time, which is the case with homeschooling. Of course, that\u2019s because they can get better disciplined. They get along better with their siblings, and they are not as fussy over the age difference among their friends. That means homeschooling not only affects one\u2019s academic life but their behavioral life, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s like we have our own personal tutor because anytime we want, we can ask Mom questions about our schoolwork! And since she knows exactly what we\u2019re learning for our lessons, she can help us apply things like math concepts to real life! Additionally, when a mom is the teacher, she relearns things that kinda fade away after school. It\u2019s more effective to learn this way than the typical school way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of these good reasons – a teacher all to yourself, better-behaved children, and \u2018car\u2019 schooling – are extremely helpful to your child\u2019s later life on top of their life still living at home. Who cares if it\u2019s challenging, or time consuming, or anything else? The point of teaching kids is not to leave them up to somebody else to take care of, but to \u201cTrain up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.\u201d -Proverbs 22:6<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
