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. They won't have to wait for a teacher to grade and return their work later to find out if they understood it. Feedback can be much more useful than just marking answers incorrect or giving grades.
Testing is optional.
Observation and discussion are ongoing at home and additional assessment methods are often redundant. Testing, if used, is best used to indicate areas for further work. Grading is usually unnecessary and learning is seen as motivating in and of itself. Children can be consistently guided in a family's values and can learn them by seeing and participating in parents' daily lives. Children will learn to devote their energy and time to activities that THEY think are worthwhile.
