Home Schooling is not Good for Students
In recent years, whether students should study in the school has already become a popular topic. People have different views about it. My search of the literature produced several informative articles.
“From the earliest days of the settlement of the colonies, until approximately the mid-1800’s, the education of children was the primary prerogative of parents. Education consisted mainly of learning to read the religious literature and learn the appropriate amounts of arithmetic in order for children to assume a vocation.” (Covey 25)
The context mainly introduces that the education is very important for children. These children’s parents pay …show more content…

If the student wants to study at home to avoid the above problem, one of their parents should accompany their children. Parents must spend much time helping their children study, and they also should quit their jobs. It means the family will decrease the income in daily life. Once one of the parents gives up his or her job, reduced wages will boost the stress of family’s economy. Besides, because the parents lose their jobs, some new social problems will happen, such as rising unemployment rate. “With the problems in the [U.K.] and unemployment being as high as it is and the associated financial problems, the pressures within family life are far greater” (Anderberg 2). Unemployment rate will become high. Because the parents have to stay at home taking care of their children, they will become jobless people. More and more jobless people will lead to serious social problems. Home schooling not only wastes the families’ time, but also decreases the families’ economic income. However, in school the parents don’t worry about the problem. “Students stay in school all the time during the day when their parents are at work” (Beck 73). The students’ parents can work peacefully because school provides good environment for students studying. Home schooling wastes lots of human and financial resources so home schooling is not good for …show more content…

Home schooling is not good for students because home schooling doesn’t have a sophisticated management system for students, and home schooling wastes the parents’ time and money. Home schooling also blocks the communication between students. Home schooling is still a preliminary stage product in the educational system because home schooling has many disadvantages. There are still many problems, which are waiting for the governors to solve. If the government has some new policies to improve the problems of home schooling, I believe home schooling will be fashion in the new

    In the Southern colonies, children usually started their education at home. (It was not super important to them). The distances between farms and plantations made town schools very hard to get to. Plantation owners regularly hired tutors or house maids to teach boys’ math, classical languages, science, geography, history, etiquette, and plantation management. When the boys had the opportunity to have an education outside of the home the schools were quite strict and often had much punishment for doing the wrong.

    However, what homeschooling does provide are flexibility and freedom. The flexibility to choose materials the child is interested in learning more about and the freedom to choose where and when to spend family time together. Families are not held to an 8-3 school schedule with truants and late slips. They have the ability to plan vacations according to what works for their family, not what the school schedule allows for them. Many states have heavy regulations on homeschooling as far as the requirements and responsibilities go.
