Homeschooling is becoming more popular in today's society than ever before. Homeschooling is teaching children academic subjects at home (Merriam-Webster Dictionary). But is homeschooling the best way to educate children? Homeschooling can provide more positive results than public or private schooling. Indeed, homeschooling can provide many benefits, such as a family orientation, freedom from worries about bullies, and less exposure to bad influences like drugs. It also has a good success rate, adaptable cost and flexibility. Homeschooling will continue to increase every year. According to Dr. Brian D. Ray, growth over the past few years has been about 2 to 8 percent per year. It is for these reasons and many others that parents choose to homeschool their children. One of the main doubts that many people believe is that homeschooling is a negative approach to the child's social skills. This is based on the assumption that homeschooled children are constantly stuck at home. Those who still think that children are at home 365 days a year are wrong, because homeschooled children have many opportunities to interact with other children their age. According to Dr. Brian D. Ray, his studies show that homeschooled students participate in outdoor activities. They are frequently involved in activities such as school trips, sports, etc. Homeschooled children not only spend time with people their own age, but they also learn to socialize with people of all ages. This is a great advantage because they learn to communicate and become friendly (Ray 1). Homeschooling can bring families together. Family orientation is very important; this can be done by spending time together and building memories as they learn, as this is what binds...... middle of paper ...... track. Homeschooling costs more than public school, but certainly offers many advantages over public school. Keep in mind that children's education is priceless. Homeschooling offers flexibility and can relieve stress for many. Homeschooling gives children the opportunity to learn when they learn best, whether that's in the morning or the afternoon. Some children prefer to work alone, others with their peers. Parents will determine what their child's learning style is. If the child needs more or less time on a subject then he will have the opportunity to return to the subject as many times as is necessary for the student to learn it, or on the contrary if he understands completely the subject he can make a decision to ignore. A flexible schedule offers these and more options to students compared to public or private school..
