Kerry McDonald gives 100 reasons to homeschool your kids!:
- Homeschoolers perform well academically.
- Your kids may be happier.
- Issues like ADHD might disappear or become less problematic.
- It doesn’t matter if they fidget.
- YOU may be happier! All that time spent on your kids’ homework can now be used more productively for family learning and living.
- You can still work and homeschool.
- And even grow a successful business while homeschooling your kids.
- Your kids can also build successful businesses, as many grown unschoolers become entrepreneurs.
- You can be a single parent and homeschool your kids.
- Your kids can be little for longer. Early school enrollment has been linked by Harvard researchers with troubling rates of ADHD diagnosis. A year can make a big difference in early childhood development.
- Some of us are just late bloomers. We don’t all need to be on “America’s early-blooming conveyor belt.”
- Then again, homeschooling can help those kids who might be early bloomers and graduate from college at 16.
- Whether early, late, or somewhere in the middle, homeschooling allows all children to move at their own pace.
- You can choose from a panoply of curriculum options based on your children’s needs and your family’s educational philosophy.
- Or you can focus on unschooling, a self-directed education approach tied to a child’s interests.
- Homeschooling gives your kids plenty of time to play! In a culture where childhood free play is disappearing, preserving play is crucial to a child’s health and well-being.
- They can have more recess and less homework.
- You can take advantage of weekly homeschool park days, field trips, classes, and other gatherings offered through a homeschooling group near you.
- Homeschooling co-ops are growing, so you can find support and resources.
- Homeschooling learning centers are sprouting worldwide, prioritizing self-directed education and allowing more flexibility to more families who want to homeschool.
