what r some advantages and disadvantages or home school?

Answer 1

I always said I would NEVER home school my children. However the public school system is slowly changing my mind.
Are main concern is the lack of social skills they miss out on.
Good luck

Answer 2

There are no issues with socialization for a home schooled child if the parent takes them places that will allow him to play with other children.

The major disadvantage to home schooling? Most parents will get lazy and let their kids play like they would on any other day there wasn't school.

Advantages? If you're serious about it, then your child will get an education matched to him. You know what he's good at and what he isn't. While you're going to teach him everything he would normally be taught, you're the only one teaching him and he can get special attention in areas that he's not so well at... you can also customize it to the areas that interest him.

He likes nature, but doesn't like math? Then take him outside and incorporate Math into his day.. count the birds, the trees.. etc...

Homeschooling can be rewarding, but challenging.

If you're actually teaching him something, and you're not getting lazy.. if you're taking him to the park to play with other kids.. it can be great.

Enroll him in some classes at the museum, or art school.. just to get the socialization.

Answer 3

Well I was home-schooled growing up. It really is not as bad as some people make it out to be. The key is to have a strong support group. If you have other homeschoolers in the area to hang out with it helps. There are many advantages to homeschooling. One you choose what your kids learn and what they don't. Two you can do it anywhere VS. having to miss school or something else. Now don't get me wrong. I am not saying that if you don't feel like teaching something you can choose not to. But you do have more control over the Content of the learning.

Answer 4

Advantages:

* Personalized education
* One-on-one tutoring
* Parents are 100% in control of what their child learns
* Lessened concerns about other people influencing their child
* Some parents say, less focus on other children, more focus on education

Disadvantages:
* No "away time" from children, for parents
* Children get burnt out of parents
* Children resent parents, don't want their parents to teach them more than they already do
* Little or no socialization
* Feeling of "being different"

I was homeschooled my entire life, minus part of first grade and all of 7th. I ended up being pretty smart. At 12 years old, I scored in the 10th percentile of the nation, meaning that only 10% of the other twelve year olds in the country were at my same level or smarter than me. However, I ended up being a very rebellious child and now I'm reclusive, withdrawn, I don't like to be around people, and I don't really use my "book smarts" for any good reason.

*shrugs*

I can't say I regret being homeschooled, as it's all I've ever known. But I do know that I turned out differently than my peers. Whether that's a good or bad thing is debatable.

Answer 5

Advantages include, one on one time, not as many distractions & interruptions, also school would havent to be as long. thee are others but there are a few for you,

Some disadvnatages are, socializinf with other kids & learning right from wrong, if they get out in th ereal world will they know how to interact with other people or make friends or be independent, you must make them learn social skills & right form wrong & how to share exc exc. I think it is good if you are dedicated & paitent. BUt my advice is that if you homeschool children get them involved in something with other kids like dance, karate, singing something they enjoy & lets them interact with other children.

Answer 6

I think homeschooling is terrible. I think it is just as important for chiildren to learn to socialize with other kids and be exposed to other races and religions and culture. They dont ge that from homeschooling. I think it is unfair because the kid doesnt have the choice. Many successful people are successful, because of their social skills. As far as advantages...yes, you keep your kids from bullying, your in control of thematerial they are taught... but honestly, the only way we get thru life is because we learned it...you cant teach "life" lessons thru homeschooling.

Answer 7

advantages you know know what your child learns and you get to spend time with them disadvantage is the kids don't get to make many friends of different races and religions and they become little yous instead of little thems
