What Are the Advantages of Homeschooling?

https://www.jackmarbida.com/2023/08/why-homeschooling.html

Hello everyone!  Why homeschooling?  This has been a question that we have been bombarded by not just acquaintances but also our family.  They have nothing against us but just being concerned about us.   Well, we have not convinced them most of the time, but we are going to consider some of the things we wrote on this blog helpful to making that decision.  We are not done yet, in fact we have just started but its fun tryiing it. 

So why homeschooling, lets take the survey because of the countries are banning it.  They done like it. As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, there were some countries where homeschooling faced restrictions or was completely banned. The reasons for such bans or restrictions varied from country to country and were influenced by cultural, social, and educational factors. You may find on this list the countries that are open for homeschooling and some other countries that are restricting. 


However homeschooling might be so controversial to some countries, but there are many benefits to homeschooling your children based on research. We also took faith in running it.  Whether it's the social aspect or simply knowing you're giving your child a better education, there's no denying that homeschooling can be beneficial for both students and parents alike. Before we even had children after getting married, we already explored how homeschooling can really be a good option for schooling our kids.  We have been encouraged by Teach with joy on some major principles.  Although it was not easy to begin with. 


So why homeschool? I have tailored some answers which I believed and learned from some instructions.  My wife and I are also learning from these and I hope you do.  


Homeschooling allows you to teach your child with a unique and individualized curriculum.

Homeschooling allows you to teach your child with a unique and individualized curriculum. You are the best person to determine what your child needs, and you can also tailor the curriculum to fit your child's interests.  Right now, my wife and I have subscribed to Charlotte Mason's approach to homeschooling from Living Learning Homeschooling.


In addition to providing an education that is relevant for each student, homeschooling allows parents like us who are interested in giving their children a faith-based education (or any other type of religious upbringing) the freedom to do so without having to compromise on quality.  Unlike in regular school, the kids doesnt have a choise. 


It is the best way to promote a love of learning.

Homeschooling is the best way to promote a love of learning.  Based on my experience from regular school, we were not taught how to love learning, in fact we are obliged to learn.

In HS, it allows children to learn at their own pace, and pursue their own interests. Learning is a lifelong process, so why not start early?

Being homeschooled, children learn to think creatively and independently. Although our child abused it sometimes. They are not subject to peer pressure or bullying, which can be very beneficial in a world where everyone is expected to fit in.

Not only are homeschooled children more focused and less distracted, they also have a better understanding of how to get along with people. They learn social skills as well as academic subjects, which will help them in their adult lives. 



Homeschooling is a trial session for us.

Homeschooling is a trial session for us. We want to create a new culture of learning and make a good future for our children. What we mean by culture, its a faith-based culture. We believe that the right principles make the right foundation, so we started using Charlotte Mason's approach. We have subscribed to LLH as a provider for our 5-year-old little one and he enjoys it at least. We are taking it one year at a time.  

We also want to teach our children with a unique and individualized curriculum because we believe that everybody has different needs, so why should they have the same education? Now that we are starting to homeschool our child, it became a learning ground for us (parents) as well!


You are allowed to make mistakes and learn from them, instead of having to rely on others to correct them.

This is because you are allowed to make mistakes and learn from them, instead of having to rely on others to correct them. You can also encourage your children to learn from their mistakes and identify solutions for their problems. The attitude behind this motto is that we should accept our faults and try harder next time, instead of blaming others or giving up on something because we're not perfect yet.


It is based on the principle that children need an education that meets their individual needs, not just one that conforms to a standard curriculum.

Homeschooling is based on the principle that children need an education that meets their individual needs, not just one that conforms to a standard curriculum.

The standard curriculum is not suitable for every child. It's too rigid and does not allow parents to tailor it to their child's needs. The standard curriculum also does not allow a child to learn at his own pace; if he learns something faster than what is being taught in school, then there's nothing he can do other than wait until the next lesson comes along--and this can be frustrating for kids who are ready for more challenging material!

The Charlotte Mason approach teaches children how to read well by giving them information that will be useful in everyday life. It puts emphasis on socialization and character building rather than just teaching for examination purposes.

The Charlotte Mason method of homeschooling is based on the principle that children need an education that meets their individual needs, not just one that conforms to a standard school curriculum. This can be achieved through various methods, but one of them is through reading aloud books with your child or teaching them how to read on their own using phonics or other methods such as sight words (pronouncing words without sounding out each letter).


“It may be that the souls of all children are waiting for the call of knowledge to awaken them to delightful living.”

It puts emphasis on socialization and character building rather than just teaching for examination purposes.

Socialization is an important part of growing up, and homeschooling allows you to tailor your child's education to help them develop their social skills. It also gives you the flexibility to make sure they're getting enough time with other kids.

Homeschooling puts emphasis on character building rather than just teaching for examination purposes. We need to teach our children how to interact with other people, get along with others, and make friends--not just what will be on the next test!


Homeschooling is the best option for me.

Homeschooling is the right thing to do for my children, and I believe that it's the best way to teach them. I think homeschooling will be more effective than sending them to public school or private school because of how much time and effort you put into each lesson plan with your child(ren), as well as how personalized each one can be based on their individual needs.


We want to create a new culture of learning

Another important reason to homeschool is that we want to create a new culture of learning. We believe that education should be fun, interesting and engaging for kids. And when you don't have to go through the same old routine every day, it can be!

Homeschooling allows us to tailor your child's education according to their interests and abilities. If your child loves science or art, then let them explore those subjects at length - there's no need for them to learn about Shakespeare if they aren't interested in him!


Parents who homeschool their children have unique values, goals, and ideals that they hope to impart on their children.

Parents who homeschool their children have unique values, goals, and ideals that they hope to impart on their children. Homeschooling is a lifestyle choice, not a curriculum choice. Parents who homeschool usually have a common philosophy of education that guides them in making decisions about how to teach their children at home.

Homeschoolers are often highly motivated by religious convictions or philosophical beliefs about what constitutes good learning environments for young people; they may also be concerned about the quality of public schools in their communities (or lack thereof).


Homeschooling is open to all, but it is not for all.

Homeschooling is open to all, but it's not for everyone.

Parents can choose to homeschool their children for a variety of reasons: religious conviction, family values, or simply because they think that their kids will get a better education at home than in school. Whatever your reason for choosing this path for your family, it's important to remember that homeschooling isn't an option available to every family and every child. While some parents may be able to provide all the academic support their children need at home without issue, others may find themselves struggling with issues like time management or personal motivation issues caused by boredom (or both). The truth is that each person has different needs when it comes down to learning new things; whether those needs can be met through traditional schooling depends largely upon the individual child's personality type as well as how much support they receive from other sources such as tutors or mentors outside of school hours


We want our children to enjoy learning, and we want them to be successful in life. Homeschooling is a great way to achieve these goals. It gives us parents control over our child's education, which means we can tailor it to meet our needs and interests.
