According to NCES, there are 1.5 million homeschooled students in 2007 in the United States. In 1999, there were precisely 1,096,000 home schooled students nationally. Statistics proves that eighty four percent of home schooled students are taught at home. The increase of numbers from homeschooled students between 1999 and 2007 has gone up by seventy four percent. More parents are choosing homeschooling because to offer religion, morals and avoiding negative effects by the school's environment such as pressure on drugs and safety.
This video shows different views of government school and home school parents. The video relates to socialization because how children grow up in different schooling systems and how different they can be from each other. It relates to one of the agents of socialization which is family and how parents can raise their child and show them morals and their culture. It is the parent's primary role to raise their child appropriately in society. Although, home school and school systems may have some differences, children are still learning some things in these institutions.
My thoughts of homeschooling is great how children can avoid the pressure or influence of drugs and alcohol and how flexible their schedule can be in learning. I personally think there is no difference between public schools and homeschooling because children are developing the same social and learning skills. As long as a child is receiving good education, I do not think it matters at all. Homeschooling biggest disadvantage is the family loss of income, at least one parent must teach their child full time or part time which can make income difficult to get through one parent. Depending on who and how the child is raised from, any schooling all depends on their parent's views of education.

Home schooling has many advantages what i think about is the transition a home school child has to go through when they leave to go to college. The home school child may have a difficult time being surrounded hundreds of strangers instead of those who love them. It just make me wonder about culture shock.

Home Schooling involves a lot of independent study on the part of the student, parental participation. Now Home Cyber Schools offer students the opportunity to be in a classroom setting with other homeschooled students if needed, as well. I feel that this merging of the two will bring about more benefit as well.
ReplyDeleteAs a person who was homeschooled, I found it great. I was able to focus on my schoolwork 100% and not be faced with the pressures of high school. I was in a relaxed environment that allowed me to work at my own pace.
ReplyDeleteAs for socialization, without a doubt it's there. Many homeschooled children, have extracirricular activtities outside the home and also play with children that live in their neighborhood.
