Making the Case Against Home Schooling
School is one of the most important and influential aspects of a child’s life, something that will matter for the rest of their lives. But what way to do it is really for the best?

Homeschooling isn’t for everyone and the teaching parent shouldn’t be forced into it. However, the majority of homeschoolers have a positive experience.

Children in school spend the majority of their day with people who don’t care about them like their parents do. Homeschooling is how our country started out and has done some amazing things! The choice is up to every parent on what is best for their child and their situation.
