Question: Valid reasons to homeschool, what are your reasons?
I am seriously considering Homeschooling my son for a few years. He is delayed in his speech but advanced every other way. The school he would attend is also a dual-immersion school (they teach half the class in Spanish then repeat the information in English). The school's test scores (they claim are good) show that only 26% of the kids can pass the tests. I think that Homeschooling would also allow him to progress at his pace--not having to keep up with the fastest or alowest kid in class.
What were your reasons for Homeschooling? Is it best to approach it on a year-to-year idea for make long term plans?
Let me add that he is not considered special ed.
also, the kids the school is churning out are illerate in both languages (English and Spanish) because of the immersion program.
I only plan on Homeschooling until the end of the eigth grade--I do think high school can be very important.
Answer: I plan to homeschool my special needs daughter. In fact, really I am doing so now through our everyday interactions.
Why Homeschool?
1. Homeschoolers generally receive a better academic education
2. Parents can control what their kids are exposed to and when.
3. Homeschoolers generally have better social skills than their traditionally schooled peers (mostly because parents are there to help with social problems as they arise)
4. Homeschoolers have closer relationships with their parents
5. Homeschoolers are less likely to have behavioral problems
6. The symptoms of many learning and developmental disabilities (such as Asperger's Syndrome and ADHD) become significantly more mild and in some cases disappear altogether when the kids are switched from a classroom setting to homeschool.
7. Home Schooling works around your family's schedule rather than the family having to work their lives around a schools schedule.
8. Many Universities actively seek out home school graduates and some have offices for which the sole purpose is to meet the needs of home school graduates
9. To ensure that the child(ren) are raised with the right values.
