5 Things You Should Know About Homeschooling

5 Things You Should Know About Homeschooling

Hi Friends,

There are many reasons I find to homeschool your child. Reasons such as eliminating bus travel time, public education telling you what will and what will not be taught your child on to the issue of your childs safety.

Here are five good reasons you can use to start the process of looking into homeschooling your child.

1. Home school support groups exist in most commmunities. The ability of a support group to not only get you started, but to share some of the teaching load as you move along.

2. You might even keep a part time job and home school. Especially in the Pre K to 4th grade levels. A public school education takes all day because of the bussing, waiting, needless classes, etc. With a part time job, 4 hours a day would be sufficient for the teaching phase.

3. Whatever you do, please do not feel you are unqualified to teach your child. The parent is the natural teacher. I have resources at my web site that will allow you to take your child from PreK through High School if you so wish. Software that will professionally teach science, math, english, reading, writing at an individual grade level.

4. I can think of no other more personal bonding than teaching your own child. Especially in the very early years. And, for the child it takes away that too early competiveness and bullying that a lot of youngsters are not ready for in Pre K.

5. Homeschooling is a family experience. It promotes family unity and child development all at the same time. Just consider the flexibility that you can insert into educating your child. What if he/she is having difficulty starting to learn reading. You can put emphasis on problem areas that need it. Whereas in a public school setting they are swept along so they can meet the requirements of "The Test".

Ok, so now you have some real good reasons to look into homeschooling. Go look for homeschooling groups in your community. Find and talk with parents who are home schooling.
