Support Area #1 Homeschooling allows students to be more flexible in terms of schedules, budget, and learning styles. Most homeschooled students are given options,

and may study whatever they feel like. This usually depends on maturity, ability, and interest levels (Shaw). Another reason is that public schools run

on very rigid schedules that don’t become modified if class time runs over in the middle of an important lesson. Homeschooling allows the parent and

child to vary the learning schedule from day to day to meet their specific needs (Jhsmart). The final 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). Clearly, homeschooling provides for greater flexibility and freedom for students.
