These days,homeschooling in America is on the rise.More and more parents choose to provide education for their children in their own home.
Why do these parents choose homeschooling?Some believe that children in public schools experience too much peer(同伴) pressure,making it harder for them to develop good character.Other parents are not satisfied with the subjects of standard schools.They want to decide what is important for their children to learn.Besides,home schools allow children to work at a level that is appropriate to their own ability.Skills and knowledge can be introduced at the right time.
Teaching methods at homeschooling vary.Some parents follow a strict timetable and imitate a traditional school environment.Other parents follow a radical form of homeschooling in which they do not give grades or tests and allow their children to study whatever they want.More parents,however,follow the middle path to provide a balance between freedom and discipline.
Recent studies in the United States have shown that homeschooled children score just as high as regular students.They tend to do better in subjects like English and art,but they are slightly less skilled at math and science.
Homeschooling can be expensive,and at least one parent must be home full time to do the education.Besides,many homeschooled students are socially isolated.They may want to belong to school teams.Homeschooling also needs a lot of discipline from both the parents and the children.However,it is generally believed that homeschooling brings more benefits and exceeds traditional teaching in many ways.
