is attributed to be motivated by two major reasons, where some people homeschool for religious reason and others homeschool for cultural reasons. The religious homeschoolers want to have religious values associated with their education compared to the others who want to avoid the lack of discipline and crime in their schools. Kunzman (2010, p.21) mentioned that most homeschoolers are believed to see any governmental institution such as schools as being influenced by professional expertise and institutional
situations away from home and on their own. Kids miss out on experiences they normally would have in public schools when they are homeschooled. After being ‘grown-ups’, people homeschooled early in life may feel remorse for the memories they missed out on (“Disadvantages of Homeschooling”). For instance, prom is a fond experience for many people. Teenagers that are homeschooled do not have those memories of their prom because they could not go. Kids need those memories to have with them throughout their
interested in learning and listening to their parents. Homeschooling was taken for the reasons that parents want to control over their children, and are concerned for their children’s safety. They believe home provides a safer learning environment. Many parents believe that their children will achieve better academic success by being homeschooled. Homeschooling is an effective method of education as homeschooled students continue to score high marks on national achievement tests, interact socially
Homeschooling has been taking place since public schools started in the mid nineteenth century, and parents have many reasonable excuses to have their kids participate in it. Some popular reasons for parents pulling their children from public schools are religious beliefs, desire to spend more time with their children, being able to control schooling to the child’s pace, and teaching kids more life skills that public schools generally do not teach. Some parents also believe that it is their responsibility
we think of homeschooling, we tend to think of students parents as the educators. In some cases that is a fact, but some homeschooled students are taught by fully credentialed teachers. In the cases of students who are being taught by parents that don’t have the credentials of a teacher, it is those students whose education I question. Can homeschooled students who are being taught by non-credentialed teachers truly get the same education that their peers are receiving in our public and private
Anderson for a newspaper called the City Journal; the author explained that homeschooling was shown up for the first time on the national screen when a 13-year-old girl, Rebecca Sealfon, a homeschooled child , won the National Spelling Bee in 1997. She was applauded and her fame was made known to all America, which actually increased the interest of some parents on homeschooling. Homeschooling is best defined as parent-led, family-funded, relationship-based
to young teenagers in the U.S.? This would have never come to my mind until I met my American friend at church, whom I had only seen at church but nowhere else. He is homeschooled, along with 2 million Americans (Wetzel, 2012). According to the study by Lawrence M. Rudner, the national averages of academic achievement of homeschooled
Homeschooling To be or not to be homeschooled, that is the question? I have always went to public schools, and never had a chance to experience homeschooling. In the nineteenth century, home school was the predominant method of schooling for everyone. In some people 's minds home school has aggravated social inequality, worsen societal conflict, and works against the best interest of children. However, homeschooled students receive a better education leading to higher achievement levels, because
parents made the decision to begin homeschooling me due to medical reasons. My family and even some of my closest friends saw this as a mistake. They thought that because I was going to be homeschooled I wouldn 't be the same as every other kid; that I would be different. When people think “homeschooled” they think being at home and staying there. Being away from other people your own age. They think about being socially awkward and being awkward in general. They think that you won’t learn as well and
numerous reasons parents have opinioned that homeschooling is a better option for their child 's best interest. A main reason parents decide to homeschool their child is to protect them. I personally think that protection of a child is very important, one thing to also take into consideration is if a child who is homeschooled was ever to
