Parents can arrange more field trips than are possible in public schools. Biology can include trips to zoos or museums. Today, many parents join home schooling networks to facilitate field trips and group projects. Home schooling provides an emotionally safe environment for child to learn. They are free of both negative peer pressure and school's intense pressure to fit a specific mold.
Children also escape the drugs and violence that has become such a part of our schools.
The time spent together also builds a stronger family unit because parents become involved in most areas of their child's life. Lack of socialization is the most common argument against home schooling. Yet, many parents feel that this is actually another benefit of the method. They feel that the socialization found in schools is a negative influence. They want their children to be free to grow without pressure to conform to society's norms.
