Home schooling is a big decision and should not be taken lightly. If you have the time and motivation to support your child along this journey here are some of the biggest benefits:
1. Each individual child gets to learn at the pace that is best for them. Typically, in schools, classmates are encouraged to study at the same pace. This could mean some students may become frustrated and fall behind whilst others feel their potential is being constrained, leading to boredom.
2. Home schooling offers a more flexible curriculum so that each student can help create a curriculum that interests them more, making learning more enjoyable.
3. Parents have more control over educational philosophy to ensure it is more suited to each child’s learning style.
4. Home schooling ensures more family time and can strengthen family bonds.
5. Children can also get more diverse socialisation due to the flexibility of learning hours. This give children more opportunities to pursue hobbies and interact with community members of all ages as opposed to primarily spending time with people of their own age.
