Sometimes, the school class

“Of course, my children receive more individual attention when being educated at home and they can learn at their own pace.”

— Bettina Reader

4)

My oldest son didn’t

want to hold my hand

when he was going to

school. He thought that

was not cool. However,

after two weeks of home

school, he would like to

hug me and kiss me.

We are a big family

However,every coin has two sides.

▪ Parents may not get enough time for their work ▪ Parents may loose their personal space ▪ Parents take the whole responsibility for educating their kids ▪ Parents may find difficult to control over their kids ▪ Children may find hard to compare them with others ▪ Narrow views may happen to some kids

Which means

homeschooling

education is NOT for everybody

What kind of family is suitable for homeschooling education ?

Harmonious Family

Environment

“Time commitment is the most important aspect of homeschooling.”

— Belinda J Mooney

Do check the country and state requirements of homeschooling education.

It is illegal in some

countries !

“I think you can only homeschool your children when at least one parent is willing to do it and is willing to take the responsibility for any blame.”

— Bettina Reader

Do make sure the family can afford the cost of homeschool programs.

I know, you may have some further concerns about homeschooling education……

Will it be appropriate for my children to be educated at home ?

Will my children get better education than those who go to school ?

Will it be hard for my children to make friends ?

Will my children lack social experience ?

Will my children be accepted in the work environment in the future ?

…… ……

In fact……

“I find that homeschooling is the significantly superior approach to education for the vast majority of people.”

— Dr. Jay Wile

A study from Lawrence Rudner showsthe higher you score on the DSS scale, the more educated you are.

“Homeschooled students tend to have a broader age-range of friends than their schooled peers, which may encourage maturity and leadership skills.”

— Dr. Linda Montgomery

Dr. Raymond Moore concludes that children are best socialized by

parents not other children after analyzing over 8,000 early childhood studies.

“They have the discipline to either run their own business or become quite focused employees.”

— Dr. Gary Knowles

Mummy, I

don’t

wanna go

to

school !!
