Individualization allows children to work to their potential and increases the probability of educational success and personal satisfaction derived from the learning experience. Some parents home educate because they desire additional time with their children. These parents want to spend as much time as possible with their children.
Families spend time together to learn about each other as well as to learn about facts and ideas.
Parents find great satisfaction and pleasure in learning more about their children while helping their children learn more about themselves and the world around them. Families in rural settings and families with special medical needs also enjoy the additional time home schooling affords them. Families in rural situations find that home schooling can minimize hours of commuting. Families of children who have special health problems find that some medical conditions can be more easily managed at home. For some children this strong academic foundation may be more easily realized in the intimate settings of the home where a child receives individualized or small-group instruction.
