An ever increasing number of parents are deciding to homeschool their today as public education is faced with continued funding cuts and increasing costs. The decision to homeschool is dependent upon a parent having adequate time to do so as well as the ability to stay at home with the children during the day. Some parents choose to use flex time at work to accomplish this, others rely on their partners to help with the schooling and childcare, working on opposite shifts.
It is important that the research is done for state specific rules and laws regarding homeschooling. Some states only require that the parent state that they will be homeschooling their child while others require the parents to work directly with an educational professional in their home. The required subjects and attendance that is required also differs from state to state.
In general, the students should receive education in all of the core classes including mathematics, reading, writing, social studies and science. In addition, parents can add art, band, or any number of elective classes. Books for homeschooling can be purchased in many locations. The internet offers a vast number of sites which sell used textbooks as well as homeschooling materials. Once you have made the decision to homeschool your child or children, having the necessary supplies is another necessity.
It is important the homeschooled students get adequate socialization in addition to their education. This is easily accomplished by joining any number of groups that have been formed by homeschooling parents. Often children that have spent time in daycare or have already attended a public school will have formed friendships with other children. Fostering these relationships is very important to the development of the children.
Many parents also choose to homeschool their children because they do not feel the children are receiving the education that they should be getting. Public schools that are facing serious budget deficits often do not have the resources to offer children the variety that is necessary to promote their growth academically. When a parent homeschools their child or children, they control what the child learns and when they learn it. This can be especially useful for children who are academically gifted as well as children who are somewhat delayed.
