Is Home Education Possible?

What is home education?

Many families prefer to educate their children in their own homes instead of enrolling them in private or public schools and enrolling them in that formal setting. Together with home education, these families take full responsibility for their children's education. However, since families have to spend much more time with their children, this is an extremely intense and difficult form of parenting. In this process, families are working hard with their children and above all, they have to have enough patience to teach.

Professor Mitchell Stevens of Standfor, who wrote the Kingdom of Children and a history of home education, said that home education, once prevalent in rural areas, is now widely practiced in American cities, and even that of some secular and well-educated professionals. training. Accessibility to online resources and the advantages of digital learning make home education more effective and easier than ever.

What are the benefits of home education?

According to statistical studies on home education, this understanding of education can be useful in many situations and can provide several benefits in making children smarter.

 

According to statistics, many studies show that home-based students are on average more successful than their peers in standardized tests. The data from the National Home Education Survey in 2003 showed that people who are educated at home are more influential in society and more interested in urban affairs and are more satisfied with their lives than the general American population. An article published in the College Admission newspaper states that the results of home-based students are higher than those of public school students, and that university students who have grown up at home are better or nearly as good as normal-educated students.

 

In the light of these data, it would be more enlightening to identify and reflect on the following topics:

 

Home education is one-to-one: Some research shows that the smaller the number of students in schools, the better the learning. At this point, at home, students can be personally involved and teachers make sure that all of their students specialize in basic skills or a concept before moving on to a more advanced field. And this ensures that actual learning takes place. Therefore, home education is an effective one-to-one private lesson.

 

Home education makes the learning process tailored to the specific educational needs of children: Families can assess and shape the limits of their children's endurance according to their learning styles and interests. Home education gives parents the opportunity to help their children maximize their learning capacity, strengthen their weaknesses, and focus on specific areas of their ability or interest. This motivates the child to learn something and thus develops the love of learning in children.

 

Children who are educated at home are not bored: this makes it necessary for them to make continuous efforts for learning, as learning is made especially suitable for people. In addition, children do not have extra time to spend on topics that they already specialize, especially when other children try to keep up with them.

 

Home education educates children not only for note anxiety but also for access to information.

 

Home education provides a safe learning environment: Children who are educated at home do not face mockery, bullying, negative peer pressure, and bad influences by other students at school.

Home education gives the family a sense of attachment and trust: being in constant physical contact with children and responding to all their questions and needs instantly makes children more attached to the family and creates a sense of trust. (The number of people who argue that this might be more damaging than good.) There is also a risk that children will grow up without sociality and the ability to cope with problems.

 

Home education meets the special needs of the child: Home education prevents the highly intelligent children who are not hyperactive or behave according to social norms, but are unfairly labeled as ”in need of special education”.

Why is home education a bad idea?

The often bad side of home education (rightly of course) is the socialization factor. Because children do not communicate with anyone other than family members. Isolating the child from the outside world can affect his or her social skills, or worse, in the case of social environments, phobia or other discomfort may develop. However, this risk can be reduced by involving children in various organizations and socializing with other home-educated children.

Children's education may be limited in scope and the information taught may be limited only to the family's point of view and prejudice. As a result, children may not be able to discover different beliefs and perspectives. This may cause children to be enclosed, or worse, to have a conservative personality.

Families who lack the ability to teach can, as a natural consequence, limit the child's learning capacity.

Those who are educated at home miss the opportunity to get inspiration and ideas from those great teachers (although rare today). At this point, of course, it is useful to ask the question of how many older men have been influenced by their mentors and teachers instead of their families.

Children at home are deprived of learning advantages in the classroom. For example, being encouraged by classmates, facing difficulties, working in a team structure other than just learning from books, respecting different authority outside the family, following orders and rules, joining the school's orchestra, band or team.

Families have to change home education according to their interests and social needs because of their desire to work and financial needs. This in itself leads to irregular learning, which children are already prepared to break out of education in this disorder.
