When we talk about successful careers and future aspirations, it is very crucial to have a sound basics in studies. The School level education catches higher attention since it is the initial stage from where one is exposed to the process of gaining knowledge. This is the phase where children are getting more influenced. This is the time they learn the difference between rights and wrong, good and evil etc. The child needs more attention during the school level since he/she didn’t know what is good for them so far. Young children tend to believe everything what they hear till age of 10 or so. So the parents should give more attention to education of their children from age of 5 to 10, may be this is the only time you can take the decision on your child’s life, so put time and effort for availing proper schooling for your child. Because the young generation are capable enough to take the best for them and they won’t appreciate any interventions in their life.

Home Schooling

When you look at present Schooling system in India it is more or less unstable. The text books are outdated, students can roam around the school and there is no proper checking. Some of the schools are known for giving harsh punishment to the children, and also some child missing cases are reported from the school campus itself.

Quality of education has come down. This is the case of even well reputed schools. The excess number of students in these schools made the teachers not able to give proper one to one time to each student. So they are more over forced to give attention to the students who secure top ranks. Now the only difference between the Government and private schools is the fees and the infrastructure provided.

So what is the option left for the Parents? Homeschooling is a new concept which gives an answer to most of the parents. The concept was there for many years and it is mentioned in our culture itself, in the upper-class families the women are provided education at the residence itself. But recently it wear a new outfit and came with a new look. By this the students are able to learn from home itself.

Home Schooling, Why need attention?

The concept seems more attractive to parents that their children can learn from the home and be safe from most of the ill-effects which the school environment creates. The major plus point is that home is more soothing to a child and they are more comfortable in this environment. There won’t be any other face that the child fearing off. The home lacks the vicious and aggressive teacher, who becomes the nightmare of your child. The children are studying under the regular supervision of their parents.

Benefits of Home Schooling

Parents can play a big role in deciding on the academic curriculum of their children. They can choose subjects and topics that the child should study. This system also enables the student to study in his/her pace. You can regulate the speed and gives more time on the area where the child needs attention. There is no hurry and the child won’t be silent because his/her friends finish the problem.

If somebody is weak in fraction and good in comprehension the parent will able to give more time on the weak area and help the child to improve on the same. There won’t be any topic that left the child vague.

Another attractive feature of the home schooling is that the student will be away from other children who influence on bad character formation. A class room contains students from various back grounds. There may be children who don’t understand the meaning of knowledge and its values. This attitude will corrupt the intention of other students also and disturb their learning environment. The school itself is helpless in these matters and can only simply witness the downfall of students. Homeschooling keeps the children away from these evils and help them to focus on the learning part.

But there is another side too…

The Home Schooling is not at all a good option for a student’s mental and physical development according to many education experts. They have some different opinion about this. The major ones are concern about the socialization of the child. For a child who undergoes the home schooling system, the home becomes the world for them. They won’t interact with strangers and will show very poor social behavior. Some analyst says that in future some pupil will be afraid of facing people and even will suffer ‘Sociophobia’.

Addicted to Socio-phobia

This is a true fact that school may cause bad character formation, but not always. Many of us are learning good and bad from the school premises itself. This will provide the child a platform for learning, interacting and performing his/her talent. Most of our talent are expressed and developed by being with friends.

Another challenge is in the implementation of the education system. There is a big question about the evaluation and exam practices. Also the major problem is there that many of the parents are not able to teach their children, they may not be enough qualified to handle the common curriculum. And also many of them can’t afford tuition program for the children, which is another remedy for the parents. So we can’t ensure that the information delivered is correct and whether it is a proper learning of the child.

Another disadvantage of this program is that the parents have to take complete responsibility of the child’s education. They are responsible for the learning and also future of the child. You can’t make any excuses on this and parents need to understand their role properly in the home schooling system. If your child does well you can enjoy the credit, at the same time you will be blamed if he/she perform poorly.

These are some pointers to the home school system. The parents have to make the right choice for their child. If you are capable enough to handle the situations then the outcome of home schooling will surely be a great idea for the child. If you are not, then send your child to an institution after the proper research. You are accountable for the child’s future and you have to give answer not to the society but to your children.
