Not sending your children to school may sound like a radical idea to parents who have never homeschooled. However any number of homeschool teachers with some experience under their belts will be happy to let you know that there are a large number of benefits to be reaped when you decide to homeschool your child.
Never in the Wrong Company
Are you worried that the child may get into bad company? A homeschooled student is never in the wrong company. They do not have the opportunity to hang out with people of less than satisfactory moral fibre. They are much less likely to end up with any adverse effects of experimenting with alcohol, smoking, drugs and other addictions. The teacher is always with the students to ensure that all learning that takes place is good for their future life.
Ensures Good Bonding Between Parents and Children
Since you are always there for the child either as a parent or as a teacher in the hoemschool classroom, the child is bound to develop a much stronger bond with you than if he were to attend a regular school. The time spent together in their young years ensures that even when they grow up and move away, they stay in touch. They never have to second guess how you will react to them, as most often they know just how you feel about a number of issues.
Accommodate Students with Special Needs at Affordable Costs
Not everyone is looking to homeschool, but special circumstances and affordability may thrust homeschooling upon you. If you are the parent of a special needs child, the regular schools may not be willing to take the student on, or perhaps you live in a place where such specialized care is simply not available. In such a situation when you decide to homeschool your child, you are likely to be able to do it much cheaper. The financial aspect of educating a special needs child will be met more easily if you decide to homeschool him.
As you continue on your journey as a homeschool teacher, you are sure to add any number of benefits that apply to you individually.
