HOMESCHOOLING NOWADAYS

       Do you think going to school is really necessary? Most people would think this is the best way to study, but despite studying at school is the most common, homeschooling is a great option to study nowadays because it has some positive effects such as personalized learning, children don’t have to face bullying, and they can learn more about what they really want to know about.

       Nowadays, it is known that every person has different types or styles to learn. In this way, homeschooling allows a personalized learning for each individual contrary to schools that offer just generalized learning, and it is something that could be especially needed for those who have any kind of disorder that makes their learning process difficult such as in cases of dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, etc. For these reasons, it is a better option to study in homeschooling than a common school. “The core idea of homeschooling is the idea that kids need to learn at the speed, and in the style, most appropriate for them” (Weller, 2018). This helps many children to have a way to learn that is more qualified than the usual learning, so they can improve their skills even more.

       Another important point is that children don’t have to deal with bullying as commonly happens at schools. “Plenty of critics argue these downsides are actually good for toughening kids up, but kids who are bullied more often face symptoms of depression and anxiety, do worse in class, and show up to school less frequently” (Weller, 2018). This is a serious problem that is avoided with homeschooling, and it helps in the development of children because they have the opportunity to study in a place free of bullying. It means that their emotional and mental health is not being affected, and they can learn peacefully without facing with situations of bullying.

       An interesting thing about homeschooling is that children can learn more about what they really want to know about. It is something amazing for children because sometimes they prefer certain subjects or things to learn about since they are kids. In this case, in homeschooling is possible for them to learn more and more about things that they are really interested in, what is something that is not possible in common schools. “Without formal curricula to guide their education, homeschoolers get the chance to explore a range of topics that might not be normally offered until high school or college. They can study psychology in fourth grade, or finance in eighth grade” (Weller, 2018). So, it is an advantage that provides to the children the opportunity to be focused in different things despite of their age.

       To conclude, homeschooling is something that improves the process of learning in children because it supplies their necessities better than at schools because they can have a personalized learning for each of them depending of their types or styles to learn, then they don’t have to face with bullying that can affect them with things such as depression, and also they can learn more about what they really want to know about, what makes them to be more interested in learning. Homeschooling is a great way to learn in which every child can learn with quality, so if more children adopt this kind of learning, it will be possible for them to acquire better knowledge. Besides, they could get really interested for learning.
