Home-schooled children have a stronger link to their parents
Posted by viola woolcott
No doubt, but home schooled children have a stronger link to their parents. It's undeniable that childrens manners and their outlook on life differ a great deal when they are send to school. No wonder. They are brought up and 'shaped' by the views on life by a total stranger. Basically, you trust a total stranger, a person you have never seen before bring up your precious child? Why would you want to do that?
Let's face it. Most children don't want to go to school. And that isn't because they are naughty, or to push your buttons and argue. They have a natural instinct. They KNOW what is good for them. They KNOW what they want. And the last thing they want is to be told and sit down all day and shut up. If they don't, they get categorized as hyperactive and soon be on Ritalin.
Any child that is home educated in a loving and supportive surrounding will be in a better, greater position in life to form a healthier and positive self image. Most children will never know this in their lives when they become adults. Look around and if you haven't already, see how MANY (if not most) grown ups lack self-image and self-confidence. These are two irreplaceble advantages home-schooled children grow up with when they mature into adulthood.
Most parents want their children to be brought up with their traditional beliefs. Public education can not encourage one type of faith. They aren't legally allowed. Needless to say, that is one of the things that parents don't like to accept and that's quite understandable.
Home-education can definately help and support children to be more positive as well as think and 'act' more independent. They grow into a greater decisive thinker. Going to school, these traits aren't emphasized as there is never enough time. Lets face it, an hour in school is 45 minutes long. And that hour has to be shared by 25-30 children. And not all of them want to learn. Over half are disruptive. A lot don't understand or lack interest in the subject. So how can they learn anyway? Teachers only teach what is mandatory by law. Sounds like robots to me. Dead. Zombie like. Don't surprise me really.
Every one of us has their own area of strength as well as challenges. Home-education is the perfect setting to address each of them. Homeschooling is without a doubt a far more customized way for your childs education and by far the best way to 'serve' your child.
Lets see. A homeschooled child that is weak in a certain subject will get the opportunity to receive one-2-one attention in the subject and it will allow the child to excel in the subject and move forward. The child can develop further and has the opportunity to grow in a supportive and healthy atmosphere. So, I would say that the child has the chance to develop educational skills redargless of it's strength and weaknesses. The child is supported in a safe as well as a loving setting.
My 6 year old grandaughter is home-educated and I can only say that it is fun, exciting, more creative and has a more purposeful meaning. Thing is, you learn about your childs or grandchilds strength. You learn about their weaknesses. You can support them. For an example, my grandaughter is really into gymnastic, swimming, horse riding ballet. She is an outdoor child (most of them are before they are 'supressed'. So, we don't stop her. We support her. Explain and stimulate the young mind by making it all fun.
Home-schoolers have a greater interest in learning. They don't have to compete. You can teach anywhere. It doesn't matter where, what time, how long. The world is your oyster and teaching is your playground.
