Even though there have been enough detractors who feel that homeschooling may not always be in the best interest of the student, there are many instantly available benefits that can help prove that in the long run homeschooled students are not at any type of disadvantage.
The Student – Teacher Ratio in Homeschool Classes is Always Better
No matter how small the class is in a regular school, there is no way that it can beat the 1:1 student teacher ratio that exists in the homeschool class. The child always has the complete attention of the teacher when he or she is being taught. Any individual problem or doubt that arises during the lessons is immediately caught and rectified. Genuine learning takes place and not just the completion of a lesson in a text book.
Homeschool Students Have No Time to get Bored
In regular school there may be small chunks of time that get wasted, such as when the student has finished the given assignment before the rest of the class. Till everyone else finishes their assignment the student is sitting around doing nothing, getting bored. In the homeschool classroom as soon as the assignment is completed, the child is allowed to move on to the next challenge, lesson, or assignment. This eliminating any scope of boredom.
Tailored Teaching Based on Child’s Needs and Interests
If you homeschooled child enjoys air crafts, they can be incorporated in lessons to ensure interest. You can count them in mathematics, learn about their engines in science, and read how they came to be in history. The subject which interests the homeschool student can be specially added to each lesson in the homeschool classroom, which is just not possible in a regular school. This kind of made to order lesson plans can only ever be foun in homeschool classrooms.
The special treatment that a homeschool student receives makes him or her more likely to have their own opinions on various topics. They become able to formulate and express their independent thinking at a young age.
