Here are my top five reasons for homeschooling.
Homeschooling allows you to personalize the learning for your child or each one of your children. No more one size fits all. Your child can learn at his or her own pace. This means that if your child needs more time on a concept, you can take it, or if your child mastered the content, you can move ahead. No need to wait for the other 
20 kids!
Homeschooling allows you to decide the curriculum. I get to teach my kids from the books or resources that I choose. Particularly with the way that history is taught and also some required reading for English language arts, this one is key for me. I want my children to hear from a different perspective and one that I approve of.
Homeschooling allows for flexible scheduling of the learning content. Who says school has to start at 8 am and end at 3 pm? As a homeschooling parent, you decide when school takes place. That doesn’t always mean that learning is happening for 7 hours straight every day. You can set up the learning environment that is best suitable for your child. That may include mornings only, afternoons only, or evenings. You can meet to learn formally or informally with a group or with your own kids.
Homeschooling frees my kids up from so much screen time. Before COVID-19, I didn’t have to worry about how much screen time my kids were getting. That is because they have very limited screen time at home. However, after COVID-19, schools went virtual and the kids were required to do all of their work on their iPad. This was adding up to an average of 8 hours of screen time a day! Way too much. With homeschooling, you can vary up the learning by using some technology, no technology, or somewhere in between. You can also allow them to explore nature and spend time outside as kids should do.
My number one reason for wanting to homeschool is that there is no better learning program designed for my kid the way I can personalize and design learning for him. There are no limits on what my kids can explore and learn. We don’t have to wait until a certain time of year to uncover various topics. We literally write the curriculum for our children in homeschool. Does that mean we create all of our own resources? No, but we get to pick and choose the best curriculum, teaching method, and learning environment for our children.
Remember, homeschooling can be accomplished in a variety of different ways. I hope that you will find a path to homeschooling if it is truly a desire that you have to provide the best education for your child. These are my top five reasons for homeschooling. What are yours?
