Field trips can be taken on a much more frequent basis. Field trips can be much more enjoyable and more productive when not done with a large school group which usually involves moving too quickly and dealing with too many distractions. Field trips can be directly tied into the child's own curriculum. Volunteer service activities can be included in the family's regular schedule. Community service can be of tremendous importance in a child's development and can be a great learning experience.
Scheduling can be flexible, allowing travel during less expensive and less crowded off-peak times.
This can allow for more travel than otherwise, which is a wonderful learning experience. Children will be less likely to compare their own knowledge or intelligence with other children and will be less likely to become either conceited or feel inferior. Religious and special family days can be planned and celebrated. Children will bond more with siblings and parents since they will spend more time together playing, working, and helping each other. Feedback on children's work will be immediate and appropriate.
