Homeschooling works!

Homeschooling is where the parents take the ownership of teaching their children. Homeschooling works on the crux of "Parents know best!"

• Homeschooling is when the parents involve themselves in educating their children. They enlist the help of friends and relatives and the community to help their child learn
• Open-ended learning: Homeschoolers learn without restrictions of syllabus and curriculum
• On Demand learning: Homeschooled children learn what they love when they are interested instead of when the curriculum demands it
• Real world learning: Homeschoolers have more chance to learn what is required in daily living like sewing, using money, fixing the bicycle etc as they have more time dealing with the real world
• Unstructured learning: Homeschooled children may learn at their own speed without requiring to do any prerequisites. 
• In Detail learning: Homeschoolers can dive deep into the topics they are interested in without any restrictions and for however long they want. It gives them a chance to specialize on their specific interests
• Parental guidance: Parents are the people who set the stage each day to help the child get a varied experience and exposure
• A school provides a social experience for the child by default. In homeschooling, the parents take the responsibility to let the child interact with peer groups and with others to give an optimal social experience
• Parents who homeschool their children also take the onus to enrich the child's education by trying experiments with children so that the children learn by doing
• Patience and repetition forms an important base on which the homeschooling parents need to interact with the child
• Information is readily available in the internet. Homeschooling just requires the parent to package it all in such a way that is easy for the child to imbibe.

Homeschooling looks very lucrative for both the child and the parents as it will provide for an excellent bonding time and the parents directly see the child grow and flower; But it requires the parent (along with the help of friends, neighbours, community) to take charge to give holistic education to the child.
