Any more thumbs-up to my question?

YES! Parents teach their children to walk and talk before they even see the inside of a nursery or preschool classroom, so why would they not be qualified and capable of teaching their children academics?
That's not the question though. The question is whether the parent wants and is able to dedicate that time to schooling their children 24/7 AND if the children will benefit from being home educated instead of sent to learn with other children in a formal classroom. It depends on the family.
www.hslda.org is a great starting point and resource for those who want to homeschool, thanks for sharing with others.

Yes, that right. But you do need to check with your State laws. But did you know that you can get a "religious exemption" and the school board can't refuse you because of religious beliefs. HSLDA has legal info on their site for info.
As far as it harder to get into college, this is not true. My 22 yr old son was homeschooled and graduated at 16 1/2 with a 4.0 gpa. In got into college easily, then only thing he had to do because he was only 16, we had to go to the school board & show is grades/transscript & they approved him to start college early.

I've heard good things about these programs. They're K-12.
Imagine Academy, The Jubilee Academy, The Grace Academy, and The MorningStar Academy are all great programs. Imagine offers individual courses, Jubilee offers full online homeschooling curriculum, Grace offers full teacher-supported online homeschooling curriculum, and MorningStar is an online private school.

first of all, you're assuming that a instructor is directly qualified to tutor in simple terms through fact he or she has a coaching degree. through fact the extremely great variety of "qualified" yet awful instructors proves, it rather isn't the case. 2d, there is not any regulation in homeschooling that states that the mothers and fathers might desire to tutor their infants all matters. you could hire tutors, discover friends who're experts interior the undertaking to tutor them, or maybe deliver them to faculties instructions (whilst they are the right age and stepped forward sufficient of their analyze). think of roughly it -- in case you prefer to study a musical device and neither of your mothers and fathers understand the only you prefer to study, what do you do? you could attempt to tutor your self (additionally an physique of recommendations many older homeschooled infants take with many matters) or you will discover somebody who DOES understand to tutor you. the easy actuality of the difficulty is that the yank public training equipment as an entire is failing. particular there are some miraculous faculties, yet not everybody can get admission to them. Homeschooling is between the potential with the help of which families take care of this reality, and it fairly is been shown returned and returned that homeschooled scholars as a team do a minimum of to boot as public college scholars as a team.

My roommate was home schooled. It made it a lot harder for her to get into college.
Home schooling can be good, but it can also be detrimental to a child (just like public school). I think it is beneficial to a student to attend public school and learn to deal with different teachers.
