Top reasons for homeschooling:

* #1: Poor quality of education in public schools

* #2: Religious/moral/social concerns Other reasons:

* Children have special requirements (gifted, dyslexia, etc.) that parents feel the schools cannot address as well as the parents can at home

* Ability to choose what, when and where to study

* Child has high-level training (piano, sports, acting) that conflicts with school schedules * Particularly in middle- or high school, student may have social issues (being bullied, hanging out with wrong crowd, delinquent behavior) that make public school an unsafe or highly undesirable place * Ability to travel, whether by necessity or choice

I'm sure there are dozens of other reasons people choose to homeschool. The ones listed above are some of the more common ones.

Why is home school better than public school?

In homeschool, a child is with someone who knows them. In public school, the teacher deals with many other students. In homeschool, the child learns at their own pace. In public school, it's either the smarter having to wait for the less smart to figure it out and learning less than they could, or the people that don't understand yet left confused as the teacher moves on. In homeschool, you can get help when you need it. What happens when your homework confuses you in public school and your parents can't help? In homeschool, you can develop your talents. In public school, the future artist and the math geek who can't draw a straight line get the same lessons. In homeschool, your parents can teach you how to behave around others. In public school, you get the list of rules. Is the list of rules going to stop the three jock kids beating up the one weak nerd? No, the list of rules is going to hang on the wall, unresponsive, while nobody is in the hallway. In homeschool, you still have a social life. Public school is where talking gets you yelled at. After school is when you can be with your friends. In homeschool, the chances of cheating on a test decrease since there's nobody to get the answers from. In homeschool, answers will be given faster. In homeschool, you're not 'some kid from one of my Math classes.' You're 'my son/daughter, who I happen to teach.' In homeschool, it's easier to make everyone care about the subject and explain it to everyone individually- there's only one person to explain it all to. In public school, saying it in a good way for everyone would have high schoolers just discovering long division and struggling to read this answer in the average class of thirty. And guess what happens when you're all from different elementary schools? That's right, all the new middle schoolers that knew this in fourth grade sit through the explanation with the kids who don't know this.

Pubil school is better than homeschool?

Depends on the teachers and students in public schools. Home school makes you learn math, science, and english online. It is free because you do not have pay money for public school field trips.
