Home education It is difficult to estimate the number of youngsters involved in home schooling, where children are not sent to school and receive their formal education from one or both parents. Legislation and court decisions have make it legally possible in most states for parents to educate their children at home, and each year more people take advantage of that opportunity. Supporters of home education claim that it is less expensive and far more efficient than mass public education.

Supporters of home schooling also believe that it provides the parents with the opportunity to reinforce their moral values through education. Critics of home schooling movement claim that it creates as many problems as it solves. They acknowledge that, in a few cases, home schooling offers educational opportunities superior to those found in most public schools, but few parents can provide such educational advantages. Some parents who withdraw their children form the schools in favor of home schooling have an inadequate educational background and insufficient formal training to provide a satisfactory education for their children. Typically, parents have fewer, not more technological resources available than do schools. However, the relatively inexpensive computer technology that is readily available today is causing some to challenge the notion that home schooling is in any way not so good as more highly structured classroom education.

Home education

It is difficult to estimate the number of youngsters young people involved who take part in home schooling. Home schooling is where children are not sent to a normal school and receive their formal education from one or both parents. Legislation and court decisions have made it legally possible in most states for parents to educate their children at home, and each year more people are taking advantage of that opportunity.
Supporters of home education claim that it is less expensive and far more efficient than mass public education. Moreover, they quote several merits: it stops schools from overcrowding, adds curricular and pedagogical other alternatives, strengthens family relationships, lowers dropout rates, increases motivation, provides higher standardized test scores, and reduces discipline problems. These supporters of home schooling also believe that it provides the parents with the opportunity to reinforce their moral values through education.

However, the relatively inexpensive computer technology that is readily available today is causing some to challenge the notion that home schooling is in any way not as good as a traditional highly structured classroom education.
Finally [In conclusion,] a sociological concern towards home schooling is the restricted social interaction experienced by children who are educated at home. Technology will never replace the pupil-teacher relationship. Also, while relationships with parents and brothers and sisters may be improved, children taught at home may develop a distorted view of society.
