Finding the Right Home School Curriculum
It’s no secret that the educational system in most places is in pretty bad shape. According to a recent (2006) Gallop Poll, nearly half of American parents are not satisfied with the quality of education students receive in our K-12 system. These parents cited a lack of vested interest from the teachers as well as a poor curriculum and inadequate experience on the teacher’s part as reason for their dissatisfaction.
On criticism is that state educational standards are too low, allowing public schools to teach the bare minimum to their students while not provided adequate testing that would ensure they are learning at an acceptable rate.
Private schools, understandably, perform much better than public ones due in part to smaller class sizes, and higher teacher pay. However, many families can ill afford to pay the tuition and fees required for most public schools. This is what makes homeschooling an excellent option.
Providing a positive, homeschool environment for your children allows them to get an education that lives up to your expectations, and not to that of the state. Additionally, home schooling your kids allows you to spend more time with them in order to build a stronger family foundation. Spending too much time away from the family can be detrimental to a developing child’s family life.
