1.The advantages of home schooling:

There can be no greater advantage of HS than family bonds are built and strengthened. Just think of the siblings and parents bonding that can be built in an atmosphere of constructive learning. The flexible curriculum is another positive. For example, the training experience can be made to fit the individual child’s needs. You are not locked into a one size fits all. Your child may be allowed to grow in strength, he already has.

2nd What are the disadvantages of home schooling.

If both parents are already working outside the home so the loss of one of the income may be a partial financial set back. In times like these, it just may take two incomes to make ends meet. But it won’t hurt to sit down with a budget and find out where exactly the money goes. You just might find out that the loss of a net income won’t put that much of a financial crunch on the budget.

3rd Is your family a home schooling family?

Most families that home school are looked at as a conservative right wing religious types. Or back woods rustic who don’t trust anything the government does. But as you dig into the facts, you find that HS cover a broad demographic range. They come from all walks of life. They live in all parts of the country. They are involved in all professions there is. They are just plain people who have decided not let the government take responsibility for one of the most important steps in their child’s development.

4th What are the social aspects of home schooling?

What about the” Real World” is the question usually asked parents who are looking to home school there children. How will they know how to accept and live with racial and ethnically different communities? After all the public education they are (rightly) thrown together for the benefit of the public. I don’t believe race or ethnicity should never be an obstacle to live. But I think that misbehaved, unweave, need some advice parents and public school system will not allow this. Therefore your child 5-6, boy, girls begin to come home with words and actions that your family does not find acceptable. Your child need not learn or be confronted with ill behaved not controlled (poor children) in the early development stages.

Each week, students were presented with a puzzle to solve. These tasks were usually wrapped in some form of a story, given so much to conceal as informing, but the essence was the mathematical in nature. But offered the most satisfying tasks a logical shortcut that allowed one to reach the right conclusion without resorting to algebra, geometry or quadratic equations. The example of water lily and Lily Pond will illustrate their equally fascinating blend of simplicity and complexity frustrating:

The Squire had recently built a lily pond in Manor House, which was 15 feet long and eight meters wide. He ordered his gardener to plant a water lily in one corner of the pond. The selected water lily was a newly introduced brand known for its rapid growth. In fact, water lily growing at such a vast rate that the surface of the pond covered doubled each day. Seven days after it was planted, the water lily, covering half the surface of the lily pond. How long will it take before the pond was completely covered?

It is immediately obvious and wrong answer, which is fourteen days. There is also a long mathematical approach, which involves calculating the area of the dam and thus the speed of growth of water lily, which eventually provides the correct answer. Much more satisfying is the logical approach, which quickly discerns that the dimensions of the dam are as immaterial as the water lily was planted by the gardener or the Squire himself.

If none of the students came to the correct answer within the thirty-minute lesson, we were left to puzzle before next week when the answer was revealed. In the same spirit, instead of just revealing the solution for those who did’t reach it immediately, I’ll leave you with a little thinking time. After all, it’s nothing as satisfying as working on a puzzle at the moment when, quite unexpectedly, the light dawns.
