First, The student to teacher ratio is just about perfect!. O.K., I can accept your objection that homeschooling programs can isolate a child.. Yes, that is a valid observation, but look at it this way, you can still take advantage of many after school programs in sports, music, art, and many other interests.. Furthermore, consider that, because homeschooling is so much more focused than traditional schools, your student will actually have more time for other activities.
Second, there are far fewer distractions than in a traditional educational setting. The main reason for that is there isn't a large bureaucracy to contend with daily. And in addition the distractions caused by peer interaction are eliminated during the time set aside for instruction.
Third, management of available time is much easier. In a home school setting there is no waiting time built in to fit the overall mandated school schedule. As well as your student will be able to accomplish much more in the same amount of time!
Fourth, at home, near instant feedback is available. No more waiting days to get a paper back or talking with an instructor about a problem or difficulty.
And Fifth, being home schooled frees your student from a one size fits all curriculum. Now the course work can be individualized to their individual needs.
Once you have had a chance to go over the reasons, and think about them, you'll notice that a decent case can be made in favor of considering homeschooling programs for your child.
Once you take a look at all the reasons and evaluate them, you will need to admit that a very compelling case can be made to consider homeschooling programs for your child.
Just think it over. Maybe, just maybe, you actually, in all seriousness, should start the research about home schooling and learn as much as you can..
