Reasons for Homeschooling your Child
The number of children being home schooled in the United States has increased by 75% over the past 14 years. Homeschooling families today now represent a variety of economic, racial, social, educational and religious backgrounds.
Numerous studies have shown that homeschooled students, in general, score higher on standardized tests than public school students. Data also shows that homeschooled children attend four-year colleges at higher rates than public or private school students. In fact, numerous studies have shown that homeschooled kids outperform their public school peers, both academically and socially! In addition, homeschooled children: have fewer behavioral problems; have higher self-esteem; are better socialized due to spending time with adults and children of different ages; are generally more mature than public school students.
