Disadvantages Of Home Schooling

Home Schooling
By: Ali Ety Home schooling is a method of education where the students are taught by their parents at home. Public school is a place where students come together in a public funded school to get a free education taught by licensed teachers. Home schooling is not beneficial to students because it prevents them from learning social skills, they do not cover the same curriculum as public schools and it is time demanding for the students as well as their parents. Home schooling short changes students and makes them miss out on a lot of opportunities, social experiences, and interactions that public school students get to experience. The students are also at a disadvantage because they are not being taught by a licensed teacher. …show more content…

Home-schooled students might also not understand that it is ok for someone to not be the same as them or believe in the same thing as them.
It is a bad decision to be home-schooled because students that are being home-schooled are missing out on the diverse backgrounds of those who are enrolled in public school. That would not be helpful as soon as they go out into the real world and discover that not everyone is the same and that it’s ok if someone is different or doesn’t believe in the same things as them.
Home-schooled kids are at a disadvantage because their social interactions are limited. Without being able to interact with other students and get in arguments with others they lose the experience to be right and wrong. They are also at a disadvantage because they are only taught by one teacher and only given one person's opinion on something instead of multiple ones and multiple opinions. Along with that, they miss out on opportunities to engage in activities and discussions that public school students get to …show more content…

Although they can control want they learn, they cannot take complete control of their lives. Most kids would also not want their parents to be in that much of their business. Kids who go to school use the school hours as a time away from home and their families. Although home-schooled parents have an advantage to teach their kids in a way that helps them learn best, they could put their kid at a disadvantage for things to come later in life. For example, if a student learns best by reading and comprehending the information in that way, the student could be in trouble when they get to college and one of their professors only gives them visual ways to learn such as hands-on activities or videos. Whereas in a public school environment, kids are exposed to all the ways to learn something, such as visual techniques, hands-on activities, reading, listening and watching videos. Even if they aren't very good at comprehending information from watching a video they would have still been exposed to it and would have had to adapt to it in their grade school years, instead of being completely isolated to it.
The educators of the home-schooled students have less pressure poured upon them. Unlike public school teachers, home school educators are not required to have a teaching license. Students that are enrolled in home schooling do not have to meet average scores unlike those in public

    It is disheartening when great minds become trapped in these unfortunate learning situations, because we lose what they could have been able to achieve. It is obviously not a child’s fault that they were born into the social class they belong to, but they have no way around it. So when they get stuck in a school that does nothing to provide for an active learning environment, many kids become frustrated with school due to the lack of intellectual stimuli and eventually come to dislike school all together. Some may even develop destructive habits, as they have nothing else to serve as a distraction. Mike Rose is one person who had this experience, as so accurately recalled in his essay, “I Just Wanna Be Average.”

Students are said to keep their Constitutional rights within the school environment, as set in place by the Tinker Standard. However, the rights that are given to students have continued to be controversial and many of these cases have ended up in the Supreme Court.

He explains, “the principles of scientific inquiry provide the foundation for conducting studies…analyzing educational problems, making decisions, and designing, conducting, reporting, and evaluating” (McMillian, 2016, p. 7) to provide significant benefits for engaging students and affecting achievement. Among the changing methodologies is the consensus that the use of STEM-education concepts are necessary to prepare students for 21st century skill-building.
