What’s your view on homeschooling?

Homeschooling can be a great option for some families, but it really depends on the individual child and the circumstances. There are definitely some advantages, like personalized learning, flexibility, and being able to tailor the curriculum to a child’s interests or strengths. It can also create a closer bond between parents and children and allow for more focused, one-on-one instruction.

That said, homeschooling isn’t for everyone. It can require a lot of time, energy, and organization from the parents to make it work. Socialization is also a big consideration, as children may not have the same opportunities to interact with peers as they would in a traditional school setting. Some people might also feel like they’re missing out on certain extracurricular activities or a more diverse environment.

Ultimately, it really depends on the family, the child’s learning style, and the resources available.

l use to be home schooled, it was great, my mother is a teacher and she would make it fun.

I think that parents should home school their children. That way their children can be taught the way that their parents want them to be.

I’m a homeschooling Mom at best. I definitely feel in this time that we’re living in the safety of our babies is Most important.

I don’t have children but if I did I’d do everything to make sure I could keep them with me. The attitude to schooling has gotten quite sinister in my view. Too political. In the UK parents are fined for their children missing school. And they have allowances for sick days that are stricter than any employer I’ve ever worked for. It’s too much of a young persons life, too many hours. I don’t even think the socialisation of hundreds of children forced into the same building together all day is natural. I’m not surprised its popularity is growing here.

I think it’s a very good thing especially for disabled or disabilities children so the can have homeschooling comfortable in their home.

I have been homeschooling my children since they were little, and now I have a 10th grader and a 9th grader. Throughout this journey, we have had the opportunity to join various homeschooling groups and participate in activities that allow them to interact with others.
It has been a rewarding experience for both me and my children. I’ve seen them thrive from their early years into their teenage years. I wholeheartedly support those who choose to homeschool their children, but I always emphasize that it’s not the right fit for everyone.

I was homeschooled for a short period of time. My mom owned her own cleaning business at the time. I had some learning disabilities and my parents decided to put me back in the public school system. I got the help that I needed. I also went to a Private-Christian School(s) 7th-12th grade, I liked it because of the small ratios and one-on-one to work through my learning disabilities, I am forever grateful for all of my teachers that took “time” to make sure I didn’t get left behind.

As an mother now, I think that Co-op homeschool is something I would want my daughter in. In school for 2-3 days a week to have that peer interaction, education, and play sports if she wants too.

I am not sure how it works because I have not tried it. I have 3 kids and they all go to school and they love it.

, If I had children I would definitely home schooled them I would feel much better knowing my child was safe & in good hands 

50/50 Kids might miss out on interacting with peers

Honestly I don’t really have an issue with it. When I was younger I was put into homeschool. But my experience was not very good. Because I have parents that both worked two jobs and my mother dropped out of school also. But back when I dropped out we didn’t have internet I mean we did that’s when the computers and everything just started coming out with the dial-up and listen to that really annoying sound.
And another reason is they kept giving my mom the run around with the books we needed. We think it was just because they didn’t want me to be home school because they wouldn’t get money from me with the state.
At least that’s what my parents thought.
But now we have the internet so fast now we have the fiber optic internet but she’s even faster You have cell phones you have all this new technology that we did not have back then and really when you think about it it’s amazing.
Anyways we have had our daughter in home school right after COVID-19 and her brother went back to school when he could. But her it just made it worse. She is now 18 and still will not come out of her room. I mean unless your spending 💰 on her. Anyways way off track to me homeschooling is not a bad thing it just you need to make sure that the kids are doing it everyday like they’re supposed to because once they feel like they don’t have to they won’t ever start again.

Homeschool needs just to supplement the normal school environment. Children needs to be made accessible to the larger school environment to socialise, compete and grow holistically.

I have had 6 children. First I sent the older two to a Steiner school, after that I home educated. My 17 year old is now in college and I’m starting all over again with my 5 year old.

I think homeschooling is a great option.  I think it’s important to take it very seriously and I also think children need to be involved in social activities of some sort if homeschooled.
