The learner is responsible for determining what is learned. The more liberal home schooler usually has a less structured approach and use children's natural ability to wonder to set the course for learning. Since home schools vary from home to home, it is impossible to say what will work for all parents who choose to home school their children. There are however, some basic keys to creating a successful environment for home schooling. Provide an opportunity for children to socialize with other children close to their age.
Many areas have some type of home school association or home schooling support group.
If there is one of these groups in your area, utilize their knowledge to improve your own home school. With today's technology, utilize as many types of instruction methods as possible. These methods may include correspondence course, interactive satellite broadcasts or electronic networks among schools. America Online features a home-schooling forum with lesson plan resources, tutoring, legislative updates, and networking with other home schoolers for group projects. Allowing children to have some flexibility in their choices will make them more willing to study and learn the subjects that are critical to their success.
