Top Ten Advantages to Homeschooling

There are hundreds of advantages to homeschooling, but here I will mention my top ten.

1. Individualized Education
   The great luxury homeschooling offers is the ability for you to tailor your childrens’ education to fit their interests and your family’s lifestyle.
2. Teacher Accessibility
   In a classroom of  thirty kids, the teacher can not be available to answer every question. A homeschooling mom has much more time per child than virtually any classroom teacher.
3. Good Learning Habits
   Children are not discouraged from asking questions by negativity of the teacher or teasing by classmates
4. Discipline of Children
   Parents maintain control and are able to discipline children as needed. This vital role is not given over to the government.
5. No Grueling “Homework”
   In homeschool, all work is homework. Nobody is chained to a stack of busywork for three hours every night.
6. Environmental Control
   Parents maintain control of the learning environment. Children are not forced to sit at a desk all day. They can go outside, take breaks, learn where they are comfortable and secure. (Not subjected to fire drills, tornado drills, and now terrorism drills which terrify children.)
7. Curriculum Control
   Parents control the subject matter children are taught, and their children are not subjected to sexual “How to” sessions with bananas and condoms, (unless the parent deems this necessary.)
8. Security
   Children are much safer from molestation, attack, kidnapping, and violence when taught at home.
   The statistics on homeschooled children bear out that children who are homeschooled score better on standardized tests, do better in college, and make better citizens that children who went to government schools.
9. Freedom of Religion
   God and prayer are still allowed in home schools.
