Homeschooling
became an option for parents . Why ? In
karnakan average home school student scores 18-28 percentile points higher on
the basic battery of tests on the Stanford Achievement Test than students in
public schools . Possible
reasons for this result : the mastery of content , lack of rigid structure of
time , lack of disturbance , parental motivation and interest , and the lack of
significant peer pressure . Another
study , conducted by the National Home Education Research Institute found that
teacher certification students home school mom ' , the elementary school
teacher , does not make a difference in how well the home school students
scored in the national achievement test . All
these things combine to provide a fluid environment is much more conducive to
learning .
Old
school house fully understand that the basis must be mastered before students
can build on that knowledge . A
good analogy would be a carpenter to build a house . Until
the foundation and wall finish , roof finishes will lie on the ground , unable
to support itself in the air . Because
there is no need to stay with the structure imposed by the system , home school
students can keep working on the lesson until they have learned . If
the students are very interested in the subject , they are not limited by the
lack of time to go further than the material . By
following topics to other areas of interest , students acquire learning
coincidence . It helps students
come to enjoy learning .
In
the public school environment , teachers are expected to teach the curriculum
schedule and driven less rigid . Home
school students do not have a set schedule imposed from outside the house . They
were able to take the time to understand the subject thoroughly before going to
the next subject . Due
to greater freedom of time , more activities that can be incorporated into
lessons , such as field trips to museums , the zoo , or historical sites . Even a family
vacation to be part of the curriculum . When
family trips , home school students see firsthand the geography , flora and fauna
, and lifestyle in the areas they visit .
Unlike
the public schools , home schools are free from distractions and time wasters .
No
students were wandering up and down the halls of bullying in the classroom ,
there are no bells to signal it's time to pack up and start learning again
elsewhere , or students disrupt classes . In
a more relaxed home environment , students can do their work at the desk , on
the floor , or even sitting on the porch . When
it is time to study other topics , home school students only close one book and
opening another . There
is no wasted time walking from one class to another , waiting for everyone to
get the books and papers out and ready , or play games while the teacher is
sick or has a lot more " important " to do . Many
home school students finish in less than four hours the same amount of material
, or more , than public school students included in the full day .
It
has long been accepted that small classes are better than large classes , and
that the situation is best taught one -on-one . It
is not practical in a public school classroom where there are 15 to 40 students
in each class , there are not enough teachers to go around . In
home school , teach one -on-one is the normal operating procedure , even in
families with many children . Each
child receives personal attention that is simply not possible in a public
school . Parents
can help and encourage their children , not as an observer in the educational
process , but as an active participant .
Peer
pressure is almost unheard of in home schooling . Home
schooled children are not faced with classmates who make fun of or bully ,
because they feel more secure . Their
energy into learning , not survival . They
do not have the constant pressure to participate in antisocial behavior such as
drinking , using drugs , or joining gangs . They
learn the values held by their families to
help guide them in making important decisions . No
need to have a " proper clothes or shoes " to be accepted by their
peers . Their
colleagues , other home school students , usually dressed in the same way .
Many
people seem to worry about socialization home schooled children . Merriam
- Webster Dictionary defines socialization as :
1 . to regulate
in accordance with the theory and practice of socialism
2 . to adapt to social needs
3 . To actively
participate in social gatherings
Most
American parents do not want to home school their children are set in
accordance with the theory and practice of socialism . Most
of them are very patriotic and loyal to the democratic form of government . They
also do not want their children adapted to social needs . The
parents do not agree with public school experts like Myra P. Sadker
and sociologist Talcott Parsons as it believes that the public schools have
both the right and the responsibility to screen and students were , in essence
decided very early in a child's academic career whether the child will someday
be a lawyer or a taxi ride .
Home
school group provides an opportunity to actively participate in social gatherings
. The
group has a team sport for all ages , band , choir , and many other activities
, giving students the opportunity to learn to cope with other children while
rounding out their education . They
are often involved in national contests such as spelling bees , and many spend
a lot of time in volunteer service to their communities . They
even have a yearbook , banquets , and proms .
A
significant advantage of home schooling is the almost total lack of a
generation gap . Home
schooled children to know their parents are interested and care for them . Children
who learn at home tend to cope well with the elderly and younger than
themselves, as well as with people in their own age group . Most
students are more confident and have more confidence in their abilities than
public school students . They
tend to be strong in their faith and make excellent leaders .
School
house is worth , choice of law in all fifty states . Not
everyone can , or even should , home school their children . However
, for those who are motivated by religious considerations or academic to teach
their children at home , this data supports their ability to do the job very
well .
