Homeschooling
View
The aim of every educational system is to offer great opportunities for children to learn new skills, as well as harness their own unique qualities and interests. Home schooling is no different than public school or a private school.
Homeschooling is home education. This does not mean that all learning takes place in the home, only that the household, or parents, have complete control over the direction of what their children learn, how they learn it, and when.
Homeschooling isn’t for everyone as each and every child is unique in his/her own way.
Every child has their own abilities and as there are huge advances that are taking place every single day, this gives a lot of opportunities to children for them to achieve their goals and succeed in their own way. But this doesn’t always work for the betterment of the child. As the child may prosper in an environment amongst his/her age.
The advantages of homeschooling includes:
1. Strong Relationships: The relationship between the parents and the child becomes a much stronger relationship as there is more family time that is spent together. And there satisfaction that the children are learning, developing skills, and maturing in a way that aligns to the parents goals and values.
2. Interest in sports: Children can still participate in recreational leagues, amateur leagues, attend local homeschool sports classes, or create their own sports leagues.
3. Socialization: Less ridicule and social pressures that reduce self-esteem and discourage learning. There is no bullying. And they have greater exposure to more adults through field trips and other activities. Another thing is connection to other homeschoolers of varying ages and skill levels. And finally real-life skill building is stronger in home-based learning.
4. Recognition of achievements: There is less distraction from students who do not value learning allows for greater achievement. Homeschool students often show a greater pride in their own achievements, as they are self-motivated.
5. Community involvement: More time to be involved in the community whether through volunteer opportunities or community projects, this gives great exposure to children at young ages on how to coordinate and work with other members of a community.

An important aspect of an education outside of the home is the interaction amongst the students that prepares them to have constructive engagements with fellow citizens when their schooling is over. Interacting with other children who may be taught different belief systems and come from different social-economic statuses and religious or ethnic backgrounds prepare students for their future, where the potential of having to deal with someone who is different is almost inevitable. While there may be attempts by parents to socialise their children through other means (such as joining sports teams or youth clubs), these organisations are centered around similarity - all the kids that enjoy the same thing or believe in the same values. School is a mixture that does not filter out students, and there is an inherent social value to such a mix.
We believe that governments have a duty to ensure, or at the very least, provide children the opportunity to interact with other children of different backgrounds to help in their development of becoming tolerating and respectable individuals. The only way to do this is to eliminate systems such as homeschooling that promote exclusivity under the guise of protection. The only way to truly hold the child's interests as a priority is to to prepare them for the society that they will soon inherit; homeschooling attempts to construct a world for the child that often does not match reality.
