Home schooling allows students to be more flexible in terms of schedules, budget, and learning styles. Most home schooled students have a choice to study what they want. This usually depends on maturity, ability, and interest levels (Shaw). One more reason is that, “Public schools run on very rigid schedules that don’t stop for anybody for any reason, with some exceptions of course. Homeschooling allows the parent and child to vary the learning schedule from day to day to meet their needs (jhsmart). One last reason is that, “In public schools, teachers have to follow curriculum guidelines that are guided by state standards. They can’t vary from that instruction or students are likely to do poorly on state exams… However in most states, homeschooled students are not required to take part in state exams, therefore instruction can be more flexible and tailored to the student (jhsmart). Homeschooling provides for greater flexibility and freedom for the student.
