Thesis statement

Home schooling has become increasingly popular, there are many arguments to support the position that these children will be ill equipped to deal with the common problems that today's and future life poses to them.

Introduction

The first priority to a successful education, is only receiving the best curriculum from trained professionals. Homeschooling without following a packaged curriculum, homeschooling that follows the child's interests, homeschooling with an emphasis on real-life activities rather than worksheets, homeschooling in a way that doesn't make rigid distinctions between schoolwork and the rest of life. Homeschooling is seen as a rigidly defined concept or approach. It's certainly not something one has to think of as a package. For all the advices regarding home schooling or nonschooling one should take the time to find out more, and adapt what fits the family. If packaged curriculum is not followed than Library books and notebooks, computers and art materials, microscopes and mud pies, measuring cups and gardening tools, in other words, use of every stuff of life, the stuff around the children, the stuff that helps parents and children do what they want to do and learn what parents want them to learn to learn. But it doesn't necessarily mean that. An unschooling teenager might choose a geometry textbook, for example, if it seemed to be the best available resource or best fit with her learning style or best helped her meet her goals.

Students' own interests and questions and curiosities can take them into all sorts of areas, including those that schools call Social Studies, English, Science, etc.

With the insubstantial economy today, money is harder to earn which is affecting schools. Because of the shortage of jobs and employees, parents are working twice as hard just to support their children's education. Parents are complaining that their children aren't able to read or elaborate on certain topics, but it's because these children are sitting home all day without any formal direction. Parents also don't have the luxury of having time for themselves which can cause many family problems or separations from stress. They should be at a school where many opportunities can approach them, physically and mentally. It would be well worth it for the child to be enrolled in a school where they can adapt to the environment while getting an education.

Many homeschoolers have several disadvantages which involve the development of social skills. Most home schooling parents are pleased to get their children out of the segregated classrooms, but this means that they are now responsible for the social development of ...
