Many parents want what is best for their child’s education and, one of the hardest decisions a parent has to make is where to send their children to get their education. Parents have different opinions about different types of schooling. While some say that public schooling is the best option for their kids, others will say that homeschooling is what is best. It all depends on what the parent feels is right and what the parent has time and money for. While public schooling may seem easier than homeschooling, there are ups and downs to it. The same thing goes for homeschooling. It is hard to determine which schooling is best without researching them both and determining what will be best for their child or children.
There is a big difference when it comes to the attention a child gets in public school versus, in homeschool. When a kid is in a public school, chances are they are with up to twenty other kids in the same class. Twenty-one kids and one teacher do not make for the best outcome when it comes to a child needing individual time with the teacher. The individual attention can be crucial to a student if he/she does not understand something that is going on in the class. Homeschooled students can get as much individualized attention as they need. Usually, a homeschool group is no more than ten kids at a time. With ten, kids it’s easier for one on one time with the teacher/parent. That is one of the main reasons a parent will decide to homeschool; the attention that they can give their child is more than a teacher could give if the child were in public schools.
Socialization is a big part in a child’s life. A lot of people say that if a child is homeschooled that the child is not being socialized. However, that is not always the case. These students can socialize with kids their age, just as they would if they were in public school. Homeschooled
