Parents choose to homeschool for a variety of reasons.
These include a desire to strengthen family bonds, freedom to design individualized curriculum, moral and religious reasons, and dissatisfaction with the public school system. These families often feel that the fast pace of modern life is destroying family closeness. Family activities such as games, shared chores, and group projects are a regular part of the homeschooling plan. These families enjoy the extra time they spend together. They feel that homeschooling strengthens the family unit and allows their children to make choices for themselves without regard to peer pressure.
