2. • Helping one another • Family bonding
• Individual Attention • A good education
• Freedom to Diversity • Learning at their own pace
• Social Adjustment • Being who we really are
• Socialization

3. Helping one another
• According to a mother whom
homeschools her children, it is helpful
to have children who are at different
academic levels
• In this way, the older child can help in
teaching the younger child while
refreshing the ideas and concepts that
they learned at that age
• This will give them the ability to also
interact with their siblings

4. Individual Attention
• The parent can provide their children with
individual and one-on-one time everyday,
where as, public educated children have a
ratio of usually 24-1
• The parent can have the children excel in
their academic strengths and overcome
their difficulties

5. • The parents along with their children can help
build a curriculum that best fits their child’s
needs, not state required needs for a group of
children
• The schedule can be adapted to the child and
parent’s needs and wants

6. Social Adjustment and
Socialization
• Some states allow homeschooled children to
participate in the after school activities and
sports
• Social Adjustments can include getting
together with other children for play dates

7. Family Bonding
• The bond can grow between a child and parent
when they spend this much time together
• Children respect their parent as a parent and a
teacher
• They spend time with their siblings and tend to get
along with them better

8. A Good Education
• Overall, their education is well-rounded
and personalized to what they need
• According to the National Home Education
Research Institute, homeschooled
students score 15-20 points higher than
public school students on standardized
tests

9. Learning at Their Own
Pace
• Sometimes teachers in public school
just complete what the state requires
of them
• Children can get “lost” in the shuffle
of trying to get all the requirements
covered
• At home, the children can learn at their
own pace and take the time they need in
order to expand on concepts they do not
understand completely

10. Being Who We Really Are
• A child can undergo a lot of peer pressure
while in public schools that sometimes cannot
always be observed by teachers and/or
reported by students
• There are a lot of stereotypes for students in
some schools

11. • An unsupportive family • Teaching several levels at once
• Isolation/Loneliness • Socialization
• A pressure to succeed • Sports at school
• Being together 24/7 (being
• Not a qualified teacher
truly dedicated)
• The child’s choice

12. An Unsupportive Family
• Family members may feel as though you are hurting
your child by not enrolling them in a public school
system
• Some homeschooled families receive ridicule about
their ways
• If children are perceived as “smart” by family
members, they think that the child needs to be placed
into public schooling; however, couldn’t it be the
parents who help make that child “smart” ?

13. • This can be through the child and/or the
parents (teachers)
• Parents are forced to devote their lives to
their children through teaching them
• You may not receive a lot of support and
encouragement for the teaching you do
Isolation/Loneliness

14. • As a teacher/parent, you have pressure on you to
succeed and prove to others that homeschooling
really does work!
• Dealing with the fact that everyone will not agree
with what you are doing
• Getting stressed out and not taking it out on your
children

15. Not A Qualified Teacher
• Some parents are not completely
qualified to teach their children
• Some of them do not even have a
college level education
• Some of the environments at home
reflect this...some children are
yelled at for not getting the correct
answer, etc.
• Taking in a lot of verbal abuse

16. Teaching Several Levels At Once
• Parents feel overwhelmed to have to teach
several levels of school at once and in one day
• The children can struggle because they have
to wait to ask question until their parent is
finished with what their sibling is learning
• Some studies showed that parents buy
curriculums off of the internet in order to help
with teaching several levels

17. Socialization
• They do not receive the socialization at home that
they would in a public school
• The children are only exposed to their siblings and
family members
• If the children are exposed to other children with
play dates, they are usually other homeschooled
children

18. Sports At School
• Some states say that Homeschooled children
cannot participate in sports and athletics at
pubic schools
• In this way, it could lead to a social issue
because a lot of children at public schools meet
their friends when they both participated in a
sport together

19. Being Together 24/7
• Teachers (parents) have to be with their
children 24/7
• Most parents that homeschool are also
stay at home mothers
• This means that you are with your
children everyday acting both as their
teacher and as their parent
• This could lead to some resentment
because they are forced to be at home
with them 24/7
• Sometimes parents and children both need
a break and some breathing room!
• Parents will be forced to dedicate
themselves to their teaching and have to

20. Their Choice
• Some homeschooled children may want to be placed in
public schools and not be forced to be taught at home
by their parent
• Their parents teaching methods might not be working
for the way that they learn (may be non-energetic,
boring, and stern in their teaching ways)
• They may want to participate in sports at school
• They may want to experience pubic schools for
themselves

21. Conclusion
*Homeschooling can have a lot of negatives and
positive to it, but so can public schools.
*It really just depends on the parents and their
family on how they ultimately want to raise their
children
