Not every parent looks forward to the day when their child goes off to school. In fact, some parents are not sending their students to school at all. Instead they are choosing to teach their children at home. This is called homeschooling. Parents educate children individually at home instead of sending them off to be formally educated in public or private schools. In the U.S., only about three percent of children are homeschooled.
There are many reasons why some parents choose to homeschool. One reason is that some parents do not feel their children are safe in school because of bullying (恃强凌弱). Others parents want their child’s education to be based on their religion or moral beliefs. Yet other parents feel like the education in school is not good enough. Homeschooling is also seen as a choice for families that live in rural areas, and families that travel, like actors.
There are many different ways to homeschool, and homeschooling allows parents to customize (订制) lessons based on their children’s needs. Families can buy textbooks to use or write their own materials. Some parents who follow a philosophy (信条) called unschooling, which allows a child to decide when, and how they want to learn based on their natural curiosity (好奇心). Some worry that homeschooling means students won’t have chances to socialize. To answer this worry, some families have set up cooperatives, where a group of homeschooled students will learn and play together and take part in activities that would usually happen in school like field trips and dance parties.
Being homeschooled doesn’t mean a student cannot go to college. Most colleges accept homeschooled students. It is important, however, for parents and students to create a set of things to prove what has been learned.
