Benefits of homeschooling

There are a number of benefits that are linked to homeschooling to both the parents and students that make it an appropriate education system to be adopted by parents. Some of the benefits linked to homeschooling includes the convenient attached to the homeschooling activity as it offers both the parents and students with an opportunity to access the curriculum at any time when they wish to as they always have access to the resources needed to get all the resources (Bohon, 2012). The other benefit is that of the system being self-paced as the students passing through this system have the ability to work on their courses at any give time following their schedule (Cogan, 2010).

The other benefit of the system is that of being easy to keep records on the performance of the students thus providing an opportunity for the tutors to work on the student’s weaknesses and make them to improve their performance as required (Lubienski, Puckett, & Brewer, 2013). Parents tend to benefit from this as they always have the opportunity to scrutinize the performance of their children making it easy for them to know the areas where their children are weak and where they are strong thus taking the right step towards helping them to perform better (Cogan, 2010). Additionally, it is important to note that this system is generally flexible as it gives parents an opportunity to choose the grade level for their children to join and be taught about as well as the courses that the students will take as well as the work that they need to complete within the guidelines given by the state about homeschooling.

The flexibility makes it easy for the children to develop time for their social development thus being in a position to grow socially strong compared to those children who study in strict school environments. The other thing that makes this education system appropriate for students and parents as much of its grades are automated (Bohon, 2012). The reason for this is that, approximately ninety percent of all the work done in homeschooling is always graded using the computer thus making the involved individuals to save a lot of time as students tend to get their feedback instantly and ask questions on areas where they perform poorly.

Again, this specific schooling system tends to offer the parents with an opportunity to create their personal transcripts by way of using easy to follow transcript system. The homeschooling system is also important as it makes a way for students and parents to choose the courses they want to work on and allocate time on courses based on the performance of the students towards specific courses (Cogan, 2010). The system also offers an opportunity for the students to concentrate on their gifts and talents thus leading to better extra-curriculum development to the students. The lessons in homeschooling tend to be assigned in an effective way to save time as students are not allowed to engage in guesswork as they work as per the lesson plans (Houston, & Toma, 2003).

Other benefits of the homeschooling system include offering an opportunity for real-time progress tracking to the students, the rate at which the syllabus is completed is minimized thus making the students to take little time to complete their studies. Additionally, the system is highly engaging, and it helps the students to build on their courage and self-esteem leading to better performance and appropriateness in developing their presentation styles and skills. Generally, it is important to note that these are the reasons that make parents to engage their children in homeschooling (Kunzman, 2009).
