I was asked, "Why is homeschooling better than public schooling?"
I use the term homeschool lightly, there is a wide spectrum of styles. This website has the methods listed down on the left hand column.
We fall under unschooling, we don't do school at all. We live and learn period.
Some reasons why I believe home is better are :
Freedom to learn what, how and when you want.
Freedom to eat when hungry, sleep when tired, use the bathroom as needed without permission.
Freedom from being graded and tested.
Freedom to be who you are, to figure out who you are, your likes, dislikes, strengths, weaknesses, interests, style, hobbies etc. without being forced to conform.
Having control over your own mind and body.
Real, natural learning.
Learning in your own way and time.
Not having to conform to school standards.
Closer family.
Freedom from school schedules and constraints.
Living and learning in the real world, real life, not an artificial environment such as school.
