Homeschooling is better than Public School

Homeschooling (N.): The education of children at home by their parents.In America today, there are more than a million homeschooled children. Admittedly, homeschooling is not for everyone, but it is certainly better than public school. Homeschooling is better than public school for three reasons:1. More Academic Success2. Better Socially3. Increased Parental Bonds1. More Academic Success: Homeschoolers are fairly well known to be gifted in the area of academics. Why? Because they are simply better. In 1997, there was a study released of 5,402 homeschooling students' standardized testing grades. The study was called "Strengths of Their Own: Home Schoolers Across America." In that study, it was found that Homeschoolers outscored public schoolers by 30-37 points in every subject. Big difference. Homeschoolers usually ranked in the 86th to 92nd percentile if they had homeschooled for two or more years. Big difference. That could be the difference between an Ivy League school or the community college down the street. Homeschoolers simply do better academically. It could be the one-on-one teaching with the parent(s). Maybe it is the ability to choose which curriculum to use. No matter how, homeschoolers have more academic success then public schoolers.2. Better Socially: I know exactly what you are thinking. "Whoa, whoa whoa... better socially. No, I think you're getting this backwards. Homeschoolers are socially awkward and aren't well adjusted." Ehhh... no. According to a study done by a Canadian education research center, homeschooled children are more socailly active during and after high school. Exact quote: "When measured against the average Canadians ages 15 to 34 years old, home-educated Canadian adults ages 15 to 34 were more socially engaged (69 percent participated in organized activities at least once per week, compared with 48 percent of the comparable population)." This study shows that homeschoolers are better off socially not only while in school, but also once they graduate.3. Increased Parental Bond: Almost all homeschoolers come from a two parent home. Studies have shown over and over that children that have close relationships with their parents are less likely to commit crimes, get into alcohol and drugs, and to become pregnant as a teen. They are also more likely to be successful in school, have a good understanding of the world, and to go onto good colleges. Obviously, if your child is at home with you or doing things with you a lot, you are going to have a better bond with them.Summary:1. Homeschooled children are much better than Public Schoolers academically.2. Homeschooled students are better socially than Public School students3. Homeschooled students are less likely to get into crime and more likely to be successful in life because of their close relationship with their parents.Sources:http://www.hslda.org......http://school.familyeducation.com......https://www.google.com......http://www.essentialparenting.com......http://aspe.hhs.gov......http://www.modernmom.com......http://www.livestrong.com......http://www.blog.montessoriforeveryone.com......http://www.webmd.com......http://www.fatherhood.org......http://nces.ed.gov......
