There many benefits of homeschooling. Families want the advantages of homeschooling, with the flexibility, academic benefits, efficiency, and opportunities homeschooling can offer. They seek an education and even a lifestyle that’s not based on minimum standards and a one-size-fits-all approach. Below are some of the many benefits of homeschooling:
1. IT COSTS LESS since there are no commuting costs, dorm room or boarding house payment, cafeteria or canteen expenses and other extra allowances to spend.
2. IMPROVE STUDENT'S SELF-DISCIPLINE since in homeschooling you don't have a teacher to tell you when an assignment is due. Being lazy or undisciplined will cause you to quickly fall behind.
3. EASIER TO FOCUS because your student can work at their own pace, not dictated by a class full of students that may cause distractions.
4. THE COMFORT OF YOUR HOME because there is absolutely no dress code. There's no need for new shoes, new clothing or new bags. You can be anywhere at the comfort of your home.
5. LESS PRESSURE because your student won’t face the same sort of peer pressure or opposition that they would in a school setting. There is no need to try to ‘fit in’ and give into peer pressure. There are no cases of bullying, drugs, being ostracized and all the other social pressures.
6. FLEXIBLE SCHEDULES make life easier for the whole family.
No rushing out of the house in the morning and having to meet all sorts of schedules. Homeschooling strengthens closeness of the family.
7. SAFETY! SAFETY! SAFETY! Homeschooling provides a safe learning environment – home schooled are not exposed to teasing, bullying, negative peer pressure, bad influences, and in some cases, bad or even misbehaving. Students are at home with their parents. Parents can closely monitor their student's activities. Parents need not worry the whereabouts of their children and who they are with!
