 Support Area # 2 Homeschooling also increases the bonding time students have with their families. Naturally, homeschooled children spend a large amount of time

learning and playing together, creating strong household bonds ("F.A.Q About Homeschooling"). Homeschooled children also spend a lot of time

working together with their parents, creating a more relaxed atmosphere ("Some Practical Advice"). These bonds are especially obvious in children

and parents who have gone the way of "un-schooling", a method of homeschooling in which parents help to "...maintain or foster an enriching and

positive learning environment, to answer questions and act as a sounding board for ideas..." (Neer). This means that an un-schooling version of

homeschooling could not exist without parents and children working and interacting together (Neer). In a normal school situation, parents would go off to work and children would head off to school in the morning. Homeschooling provides the opportunity to step out of this mold, allowing children and

parents to bond with more time than the three or four hours most families have per day.
