Before altering a child’s life, many parents look to find the

benefits of home schooling as oppose to public education. There

are the downsides to home schooling just like any other decision

made in life, but there are so many benefits that families find.

Here is a list of five benefits you will find in home schooling.

Family connection

When home-schooled, kids and parents are reunited in a whole new

way. There is a large amount of time spent together learning

and building. With public education, kids are limited to the

amount of time spent with their parents due to the conflicting

schedules of work and school. This allows families to sometimes

build a greater trust and understanding in each other then they

would when going in separate directions.

Flexibility of teaching

With home schooling, kids are able to learn with more emphasis

put on what they are interested in. There is also the advantage

of being able to learn at the pace the child is capable of

learning at. You want to challenge your child to ensure that

they maintain growth and development, but this allows the child

to go at the appropriate pace without getting behind.

Flexibility of schedule

Many parents love the flexibility of home schooling, being able

to arrange school around their hectic work schedule and other

various things that come up. Also, you are capable of planning

vacations when the crowds are smaller and the costs are lower

because of the flexible schedule.

Teacher to Student Ratio

The individual attention for students allows them to ask

questions and receive feedback much easier in the small setting

then in a classroom. This allows students to interact and many

times enjoy learning as opposed to becoming discouraged and

afraid to ask a stupid question.

Fewer Distractions

Everybody knows that young kids have short attention spans. The

result of putting 30+ students in a classroom that all have

short attention spans is them paying more attention to each

other then learning the lesson. Home schooling eliminates the

noise and wiggling of several other students, allowing the child

to focus on the parent and the lesson being taught.
