Aside from required learning tools, the parents are the ones responsible for providing other home schooling supplies such as pencils, notebooks, paper and the like. If you plan on having your own kids home schooled, you might need to be prepared. One requirement is to find time to personally teach your children. Tailor-fit to the child Because of the fluid structure of homeschooling programs, the lessons can be tailor-fitted to the child s capability, pace and learning style. There is no pressure to keep up with the lesson of the day and students can start or finish their lessons any time of the day. More practical learning activities Homescholing is an unstructured educational program, which allows for more freedom in terms of learning activities. One can also incorporate reading of dialogues with the use of different voices and intonations. Kids will not only learn from this activity, they will also have fun. One of the disadvantages of a homeschooling program is the fact that it deemphasizes the social component of learning. Parents and teachers of the homeschooling program can supplement this by creating activities for your kids that will expose them to other people. It happens in institutions where classrooms are gaping open to all possibilities of worse vices like drugs, alcohol, illicit sex, pornography; formation of clandestine groups or fraternities; being influenced with religious perversions and cults. Confining a teen to high-school home schooling is a very smart but tough decision a parent can do as best option for a child, especially if the family is influential in the community. Some even believe that the program creates students who are independent and responsible students, who can learn on their own without much spoonfeeding. Focused teaching Because the ratio with a homeschooling program is often one to one or if not, a maximum of three is to one, the chances of individualized and focused teaching is greater. You are the best and first hand access to the personality of your child; knowing his IQ (Intelligent Quotient) and EQ (Emotional Quotient), what subjects are his inclinations. You won't be wasting much time to tackle a task, imposing the teaching and learning process on subjects not of his interests.
