The Benefits of Homeschooling

Homeschooling is different for every family and they all experience unique benefits as a result of their decision. Many are looking to switch to homeschooling due to the current regulations because of the pandemic. Parents are struggling to determine what is best for their children and how to go about homeschooling so that their children succeed academically. 

By far, one of the best benefits of homeschooling is freedom:
  1. Freedom to teach your child the way you want to teach them and let your child learn at their own pace.
  2. Freedom to live by your own rules and go by your own schedule, and…
  3. Freedom to soar ahead academically!
Homeschool parents also love the freedom of spending more time with their children. There are so many benefits of homeschooling your child that it is difficult to decide where to start! More families than ever are finding all the aspects of homeschooling to be appealing. Homeschooling is a rapidly growing movement across the country—for a collection of very diverse reasons—and you are definitely not alone in looking into homeschooling for your own family.
What exactly is homeschooling? Simply put, homeschooling is simply the process of teaching a student who learns at home. There are many different learning styles and types of homeschooling, but the homeschool community is unified in their goal for better educational opportunities for their children.
What are the benefits of Homeschooling?
  • Lack of Peer Pressure
Homeschooling substantially limits and has the potential to even completely cut off the chance of negative peer pressure. Peer pressure is more stereotypically aligned with high school students, but, scientifically, peer pressure begins in toddlerhood.
  • Lack of Substance Abuse
Avoiding opportunities for drug and alcohol abuse is another top reason parents choose to homeschool. This is related to general peer pressure, but a more specific issue that many parents wish to avoid.
  • No-Risk of School Violence
The last top reason that parents in this study chose homeschooling was wanting a safer environment for their children. It’s no secret that school shootings have been steadily increasing, along with other forms of violence.
  • Higher Academic Achievement
In this particular study, seventeen percent of homeschooled students had parents who reported dissatisfaction with academic instruction at other schools as the most important reason for homeschooling. Homeschooling is associated with higher rates of academic achievement as well as higher career achievement after graduation.
  • Homeschooled Students Turn Into Successful Adults
Homeschooling as a child is associated with more well-adjusted and successful adulthood in the realms of career and personal relationships. There are many fears related to homeschooling but if you give yourself the time to grow into it and see what works best for each child, you may find you really like it.
