This concept once only included the idea of parents assuming the responsibility of educating their own children. Today, the modern home school has evolved to include the use of computers and other technically-advanced equipment. Although home schooling has the predominant form of education throughout history, many people consider it to be a new concept.
Why are parents choosing home schooling more and more? There are many benefits. You can customize your curriculum (just as k12 does). Home schooling enables students to participate in a curriculum that is tailored to their needs. They can focus on specific areas of interest or other areas that require extra attention.
You can use different learning methods, so students don't have to sit at a desk all day. They might go on a field trip to a historical place, explore nature at a park, or visit a science camp.
Most home school based curriculum is self-paced, so if students require extra help on an assignment or want additional challenges, they can learn as fast or as slow as they choose. In a traditional school setting , the teacher can't always slow down and go over an area that a few students may not understand as well as the rest of the class. This is how so many kids today "get lost" and are left behind. A situation like this is easily avoided at home.
Having a flexible schedule is a great benefit. Home schooling provides students with more options than a traditional classroom. Students can set their own schedule and learn at any time. If they want to take a test at night, they have the freedom to do so. They are learning on their own terms.
There are fewer social distractions for children at home. Home schooling allows students to learn without the worry or interference of social distractions. They are not faced with the social pressures of regular school. They can focus on their work and not what another kid in the class might be saying or doing. You don't have to worry about bad influences that your child might have at school (drugs, alcohol, the wrong crowd etc). If you teach your child a certain set of morals and values, they will not learn something entirely different as they may have in a traditional school setting.
Home schooling enables students to get one-on-one attention from their teacher. Whether they are learning from a parent or online teacher, they can get immediate attention for all of their educational needs.
A home schooling program can provide students with choices. It gives them an alternative to the traditional classroom. Whether they choose home schooling for academic, safety or social reasons, they can be in charge of their education. It enables them to create an individualized learning experience.
For many children this is definitely a good option. A student needs to be self disciplined enough to do the school work daily. If a student is dedicated to being home schooled and can appreciate it, they can be successful !

How much does a homeschool teacher earn?
Usually nothing. Homeschool teachers are usually the parents of the children they teach. They recieve no compensation for teaching their own children. Some parents choose to hire a tutor or teacher to educate their child at home. These independent teachers can set their own rates and what they charge will vary widely. Some parents participate in online public schools, where teachers are provided by the state or school district and students do their work from home. These teachers are paid the same as teachers in the local district schools.
Are public schools useful?
It depends. People who have not that much money can send kids to public schools, and some rich children can go to private schools if decided by parents.
Free Homeschool Curriculum Resources?
There are many free resources to help parents develop their own homeschool curricula. Many states will provide a free list of sources used in public schools if parents request one from the state Department of Education. The American Homeschool Association can put parents in touch with resources, and there are hundreds of websites devoted to offering parents and teachers free or highly discounted lesson plans, worksheets, and more.

What Does The Homeschooling Demographic Look Like?
Demographically speaking, homeschoolers have expanded across many different categories. Historically, and somewhat stereotypically, the main body of homeschoolers has been made up of white evangelicals dissatisfied with the public school system. This is no longer the case; minorities have been breaking into the homeschooling movement in greater and greater numbers since the 1990s. From 1999 to 2003, the total homeschooling population grew from 800,000 to 1,100,000. A significant portion of this has been the result of minorities beginning to homeschooling their children. The biggest reason that parents choose to homeschool their children is positive, not negative. They believe they know what is best for their children, not the teacher. In other words, it is possible to spin the homeschooling movement as a mass rejection of public authority, but the truth is the homeschooling movement is a positive embrace of parental authority instead of simply rejecting the authority of public teachers. This is an important distinction to make, especially because homeschoolers tend to be opposed to public schooling on political/philosophical grounds anyway. This makes them ripe targets for critics who make cheap shots by commenting on their politics instead of their principles. Another big reason why parents homeschool their children is the environment of public schools. They are rightly concerned about outbreaks of violence at schools in the form of bullying and students who massacre their classmates. They are also concerned about the form of instruction their children receive. A significant portion of homeschooling parents feel that the education offered by public schools is poor or substandard. These are concerns that show up across all demographic backgrounds, and so many different demographic classes are represented in the homeschooling movement. As a demographic classification, homeschoolers are not as uniform as you would believe. It is not only evangelical Protestants but traditional Catholics and Orthodox Jews homeschool their children as well. Many parents homeschool because of philosophical, secular reasons as well. Violence is definitely a concern, but there is also a growing awareness that school officials often do not handle problems effectively. This not to suggest that they do not have the child’s best interests at heart; but this perception persists to the point where it becomes a significant reason why parents homeschool, as well. Homeschooling is a varied demographic filled with parents with many different reasons for homeschooling their kids. It is a viable alternative to public schools, and frequently a better one: homeschooled kids are known to outperform public school graduates.
Why are there cathloic and public schools?
Since the start of the colonies public schools have been a feature of the American educational system. It has provided for children of all walks of life and living conditions. It began as early as 1635 with the Boston Latin School. Yet, the constitution also provides for the freedom of religion so this means that religions can have have private schools. Parents that can afford to send their children to a private school as opposed to a public school can do so. This is why there are Catholic schools and public schools.
