Homeschooling is not just a viable option for children, it’s not that much different than traditional public school, for children or the teachers. There are still typical homework nights, “classroom” arguments or gum in the hair days, and many participate in sports at local public facilities. The reasons for homeschooling is as varied as there are children in the world from traveling families to those that need a slower pace or a gifted route. Homeschooling your child might be something you can do too, once you get past the hype.

Key Takeaways:
