 Parents want the safest most secure environment in which the child can learn and not have to deal with peer pressure or fitting in with the popular kids.(1) Many kids spend time in the morning getting ready to go to school, they analyze many things. If they are wearing the right clothes, the right shoes, acting the right way, even playing the right sports.(1) In public classroom children hear things that they should not be hearing. There is violence and inappropriate language and terms, if a child is homeschooled they will not be reviled to this sort of behavior until they are mature enough. “A home environment also provides a child with less distraction and less peer pressure (HSLDA.com)” (3) “You can teach your child at home or in any other residence without keeping school hours or indeed teaching the National Curriculum” (2) A child’s day at public school is packed with classes and time. In a public classroom a teacher will hand a worksheet to your child and expect it to be done by the end of class, but if the child is not done with it by the end of class it is considered homework. Teaching your child at home can be more flexible and you can set your own hours and pace. In a home school your child is able to work at his/her own pace. “Homeschooling gives the child the necessary items and skip things he/she has already mastered” (4). A child may be behind in a class, or may not completely grasp a math concept. At home this sort of thing wouldn’t be a problem because the child can learn at their own pace.
