I am the product of successful homeschooling. After completion of my high school courses I went on to college, where I excelled in my studies to such a degree, that I was on the deans list. I have now been teaching for 16 years. I began teaching at 16 by assisting my mother in the schooling of my sisters, brothers and other children. Later I taught at a private school until I had my own children.
I started to homeschool my own children at young ages. I am a firm believer that the mother is a childs first teacher. My children are now 6, 4 and 2. I plan to continue to home schooling them all the way through to twelfth grade-God Willing. I could never imagine having it any other way. Why? Homeschooling benefits a child in every way imaginable.
One of the first of many benefits of teaching my children at home is that it allows me to control their learning environment and keep it free of negative influences. I know my children can focus on learning and not have to worry about teasing, bullies, fitting in, and name calling- just to name a few.
Another benefit of homeschooling is that the children can excel in subjects at a quicker rate than if the were in public school. I like the fact that I can give my child one-on-one attention that they couldnt find during class time in public school. My children accomplish their goals quicker because of this one-on-one attention.
Another benefit is that the children are learning how to one day teach their own children and hopefully this wonderful cycle will continue generations to come-God Willing. These are just a few of the many benefits of homeschooling. I could go and on about the benefits of homeschooling, but I will stop here.
I want to ask you a very important question. If you are considering homeschooling, this can help you make that decision. Ask yourself this one simple question:
Will my child benefit more from a homeschool environment with no distraction and your full one-on-one attention Or in a public school environment with daily distractions and a teacher whose attention is divided between 30 or more students?
If your answer is homeschooling, then you too can enjoy the above mentioned benefits plus more. I invite you to join the many homeschooling parents of today and begin an amazing journey of learning with your child now!
