2.When my friend put out the idea of homeschooling to her parents,the first reaction they gave was,"you are cutting the child off the world".Did the child really get cut off or did the child socialize better?
The moment we hear of homeschooling,we think the child will have no opportunities to interact with peers.However,my friend said we forget that when attending a regular school,the child is not into socializing all the while.The child is restricted to so many other activities.Studies take a major role in a child's life.The child hardly has the time to interact at school as well after getting back home.
The child might be meeting and studying along with many of its peers; however,how many kids interact with all the kids in a class?However,in homeschooling system,as my friend mentioned,the kid has all the time and can plan its day accordingly.During the day the child studies like other schoolgoing kids but with no burden of homework and project work,the child has so much free time in the evening as to effectively interact and play with peers.The quality time the child spends in education is really impressive.
Homeschooling kids have the opportunity to socialize more often as they have a lot of time in their hands.They can also make socializing a regular habit.Just as my friend said,her child goes to a neighboring park almost every day and has a set of friends who come there daily.Other children get back home to finish off homework and project work while her child who is already through with studies gets the opportunity to spend time with family members.
When I heard this,I really felt how lucky the child was.Definitely the child had a better opportunity to socialize when compared with my kids.However,I might not consider the homeschooling for my kid,as I am so used to the conventional(傳統(tǒng)的) schooling system and feel regular schooling the safest bet.
