The learning process which begins at birth simply continues naturally with the parents as teachers. The school system was set up after the Industrial Revolution to train factory workers in basic skills such as reading and computation, and working and producing according to schedules. Many parents feel this system is obsolete. The world is desperately in need of creative, innovative thinkers. By being allowed to learn at their own pace, with a minimum of stress, homeschooled children have the time and space to internalize and use what they learn.
Public schools see the positive aspects of homeschooling.
Often people decide to homeschool after meeting other homeschooled children. Our children are the best ambassadors of homeschooling. Learning in a nurturing environment, together with positive socialization produces bright, interested, and emotionally healthy kids. Few, if any, homeschoolers are actually isolated to the point where they don't interact with other people. Most homeschoolers are heavily involved in their communities.
