Homeschool Benefits...

Why should I let M'Kylee learn at home rather than send her to school?

Well, first of all, I don't have to wake them up early every
morning and rush her off to school with umpteen numbers of
instructions, and wait with an anxious heart until she return.

Honestly homeschooling gives me more control over the influences that
affect my daughter. Me, and me alone can decide what she needs to do or learn. Tailoring
the curriculum to suit the needs and interests of the child is one of the most obvious benefits of homeschooling.

Individual attention is another salient benefit of
homeschooling. She can work on the subjects she needs more help with, as long as she needs to.

The amount of time needed to learn each subject will depend on the abilities and interests of the child.

Field trips and experiments become family activities. Thus,
the child receives more quality time with his parents. The
entire family shares games, chores and projects. Family
closeness becomes the focus here. The child is also free of
any negative peer pressure while making choices and decisions.



Our recent Field Trip was to the Railroad museum. She loved getting on the big trains and we even took a ride on one of the tour trains.

Competition is limited when it comes to homeschooling. M'kylee does not need to prove her ability with regards to other children. Her confidence remains intact.

Learning becomes fun.

I also tailor the curriculum to
suit the learning style of M'kylee. For instance to get her to learn how to spell (examine) I had to write the word so she can become familiar with seeing it, then I would have to spell it and let her repeat me, then I would have to finger spell the word and then teach her the sign that goes with the word. Without me signing the word and finger spelling it just does not stick.

Homeschooling allows me to take control over her moral and
religious learning. I have the flexibility to
incorporate her beliefs and ideologies into the her curriculum.
There is no confusion in the her mind either because there is
no variation between what is being taught and what is being practiced.

Lastly, more and more parents are getting disillusioned with the
public school system. They believe that their children are being
pushed too hard or too little. Other worrying issues pertaining to
discipline and ethics also make the school system less welcome. Many
repudiate the educational philosophy of grouping children solely on
the basis of their age. Some parents, myself included, themselves have unhappy memories
of their own public school experience that motivates them to opt for
homeschooling when it comes to their own children. 

Homeschooling is the best way to teach a child if you have the time,
the ability and the interest to follow through with his/her education. After
all, nobody can understand or appreciate your child more than You.


But if you do not have the time and know of someone that is homeschooling their children, and would like your child to be involved then you can work with that person to teach your child.


Good luck and All kids are Precious.
