Just so, is homeschooling less stressful?
After five years of homeschooling, I would say that homeschooling is actually LESS stressful for parents than public school in many ways. Homeschooling is a lot of work and can be stressful at times, but there are so many things that homeschoolers simply don't have to do or worry about.
Secondly, what are the negatives of homeschooling? In this article, we will explore some of the disadvantages of homeschooling.
- Time. When parents take the responsibility of educating their children at home, they may need to set aside time to make it work.
- Cost.
- Socialization.
- Lack of Facilities.
- Patience.
- Motivation.
Keeping this in view, do homeschoolers do better academically?
Research suggests homeschooled children tend to do better on standardized tests, stick around longer in college, and do better once they're enrolled. A 2009 study showed that the proportion of homeschoolers who graduated from college was about 67%, while among public school students it was 59%.
Do homeschoolers lack social skills?
It is a myth that homeschooled kids lack social skills. In fact, the actual statistics paint quite a different picture. In every study or test that I have read, homeschooled kids consistently outperform their schooled peers, both socially and academically.
