what is the good effect of home schooling? And what about the bad effect?? would it b good for your children?

Answer 1

Some good effects of Home schooling is the fact that the parent knows the child's learning style best and can spend one on one time with them teaching them academically and preparing them to go into the real world.

They are socialized by a wide variety of people of all different ages instead of being thrown in with a bunch of kids there own age who don't have experience with some of the situations they may face and usually only care about impressing each other.

Another positive is the closeness to parents and siblings. Kids are only with you for 18 years, why would you want to push them out earlier and without the training they need to make important decisions?

I really cant think of any negatives for the children. It is a big commitment for the parents, but I believe it is well worth it.

My kids are doing great in this environment and have many friends they interact with everyday in sports, dance, church activities and in the community. I also get a lot of compliments on the fact they can make eye contact as they are speaking to adults and have good manners.

Answer 2

A few good effects of home schooling:
1. The children are well supervised
2. The student:adult ratio is very good. A group classroom may have 30:1 A home school may have 1:1, up to 12:1 or more. Depends on the family size. Each grade level can easily be 1:1. The parent has more time to spend one on one with each student.
3. The student can work at a self-directed pace and does not have to wait for the classroom to finish the same work.
4. The child can excel in his/her area of interests.
5. The child learns to think things through from start to finish.
6. The child becomes a life-long learner.
7. The student is free to learn about God and the truth about Jesus Christ as the savior of lost souls --- something that can not be taught in a government institution.
8. The student is free to read the Bible.
9. The student is free to pray.
10. The student can get to know more people on a personal level.
11. The student can associate with people of all ages.
12. The student can learn from many adults in many situations -- field trips, etc.
13. The student becomes a capable communicator.
14. The student has no qualms about associating with people of all age levels, backgrounds, interests. They don't shun little children and are not afraid of older people.
15. The children are more polite to others.
16. The children learn how to work.
17. They show an interest in helping other people.
18. They enjoy their studies, their work and their family.
19. They get good grades when they go to college.
20. They get good jobs when they are done with studies.

Bad effects? I don't know about any.

Yes, homeschooling is very good for my children. Three of them are done. One is married with 3 kids. One is working full time and finishing college. One is working as a live in nanny. One is still home and doing very well. They are all very smart and hardworking.

Answer 3

I am homeschooled and have been for five years.

There are so many good things about it.
You have time to do what YOU WANT TO DO!
You can learn the way YOU WANT TO.
You can go at your own pace and do not need to be on the same page as the other 30 some kids in a public school class.
Socialization is not a problem as long as you make time for friends-- which is easy having all the time you need.
Most public schools will allow homeschooled children to participate in after school activities like drama club, sports, poetry club etc.. because don't forget you pay taxes too, most schools allow it. Community colleges also have programs for homeschoolers at a younger age.
I am currently taking some courses and I am only 16.
You can also get your Highschool diploma through your homeschool advisor or try Keystone online!
Homeschoolers also can get discounts on school supplies-The apple store (computers and such) will give you a huge discount on products if you show proof you are homeschooled--just get some signed papers from your homeschool reviewer.
I love homeschooling..I highly recommend it and prefer it over public school.

Answer 4

Potential positive effects of homeschooling:
-better education (can go their own pace, can have a broader education than the restricting school curriculum)

-better socializing (in multi-aged settings all the time, no bullying, no picking up bad attitudes, kids don't feel like they have to be like the other kids and don't worry that they'll be rejected if they aren't like other kids...)

-family is closer

-kids have more time to be kids instead of spending travel time to and from school, 7 hours in school, then at least an hour of homework each night

-kids have more time to follow their personal interests

-flexibility in scheduling means it's not a problem if you've got appointments, the kids are sick, you want to travel, you just need a week off...

-kids learn family values

Negative effects:
-when homeschooling is approached in a reasonable manner, the only real negative effects I see are ignorant people's views of homeschoolers; this can lead to some kids being rejected simply due to the fact they are homeschooled

-when homeschooling is NOT approached in a reasonable manner, there can be a whole ton of negative effects

Yes, I think homeschooling is good for my children. For some children, due to how the families or parents are, it would not be good. I know homeschooling would not have been good for me.

Answer 5

My daughter has so far enjoyed and relaxed in the benefits. She has for the first time earned A grades, she has been on the softball team with out need for college scouts "looking" at her and judging her, she is just playing a stupid softball game.....lol.

So far it has been great, the public schools here in southern Calif. are horrible, they have barbed wire fences marking the boundaries, much like a prison, they have armed guards, and a helicopter that flies around when I dropped her off. It was just too much. I took her out of that school and ever since, her grades have improved, her outlook has changed, and her attitude has brightened.

I'm sorry if a college doesn't like the fact that she was charter schooled from tenth on, her well being means more to me than her being in the wrong place at the wrong time and being shot because of some stupid racial gang war. I love it that she is home with me during the day, we spend girl time together and bond, something I have never had before, so I really appreciate my daughter for that.

BTW, she is 5'10", supermodel build, very pretty, but she is so sweet. She has all the potential for being a stuck up snob, but she loves being real with people and loves a great guy......I guess I rubbed off on her after all...:-)

Homeschooling for her was the right thing to do, and I hope when my son gets to that age that he is accepting to it as my daughter is. It really did do miracles for her self esteem and self confidence. I hope she can get into the college she dreams of, before, she just wanted to earn a paycheck,,,,,now she sees that an education means how much that paycheck can pay......

I am so proud of her. Homeschooling was the best thing I could have ever done with her. I love my children so much, these schools in Calif have so many problems.....

Answer 6

In home schooling like any private school, the effect depends intirely on how the home schooling is done. I have known parents who prefer sit down formal instruction, and others who hand there child a text book and run off to work. With the vast mojority it is somewhere in between. In my classes I give my child a text book and give them basic instruction and allow them to work at their own pace. I am always there to help them if they have a question. Some parents do instruction solely at home, so there children never leave the home. I prefer to teach with a group of parents getting together, so we can learn from each others skills and experiences.
Home schooling has done nothing but good for my family. My childrens skills, self esteem and social skills have blossomed because they are allowed to work at there own pace and don't miss out on information. We work with kids from a strong family background, so they learn social skills from kids who have manners.
Most of the people in our home school group are internationals. I am American and a credentialed teacher so I lead the group and we focus a lot on language Arts. But I have parents who are strong with Math that work in that area.

The main bad effect would be if a parent has weaknesses. Maybe they do not have a lot of knowledge in History or language arts and they depend solely on books to teach. Than that area would be weak. But the same thing goes in most schools. But schools require a degree so most teachers have a good amount of knowledge.

Homeschooled kids generally come out with a better education in studies. And that has definatly been my experience.

Answer 7

My friend teaches her children at home. The oldest is 10, but he has more knowledge of many areas than most adults I know. They do really creative stuff, so they never see it as 'work' but they learn so much incredibly fast. For a while, I thought their social skills might suffer, but lately they have blossomed and are fine. (Do you have a dog? Dog walking is a great way to socialise- you automatically have common ground). It's a big commitment, but if you get it right I believe it can be MUCH better than going to school.

Answer 8

The good effects are that they become much smarter and generally wiser than most kids their age, because they get to see what all their friends from school are doing wrong. They get to go around those mistakes. I am homeschooled and have been for the last decade, and I have seen this in myself. My friends who go to PS (public school) who I used to play with alot when I was younger are now imbecilic dopeheads (no, not drugs, yet, but just general all-around dopes) and I see their mistakes and I avoid them. With HSing you can spend much more time with your child, and you have more time for socialization because if you finish school early, you can play earlier, unlike in PS. The easily correctable downside is that socialization may get a level harder, but joining up with a local HS group in your area will solve that problem easily. Take it from me- I am homeschooled, have been for a decade or more, and am 15. I like it.

Answer 9

I home schooled 2 of my children for awhile.I did because we lived in a horrible district.My children were labeled learning disabled by this district.The one on one I gave them for 2 years was very beneficial.The down side was they didn't have much in the way of peer skills.When they went back to public school they weren't use to sharing their time with other students.So while they were now more advanced in academics they were socially backward.Home schooling is a very serious decision and not one to make hastily.Good luck in your decision.

Answer 10

It has to be both.If it is both school and home you will have good
successful children when they grow up.They will do the normal
learning at school such as reading,writing,arithmetic but at home you will give them the love lessons.I did it and it is both.
Lots of the stories at home.You are part of it.They have to have both.But be careful and make sure you get the home lessons right.A lot of love before they leave for school and the same when they get home.Make sure their school days and home kid days are great.It is hard work.
