Is Home Schooling a Good Idea?

Hi, I’m Sharon Wilharm on behalf of ExpertVillage.com. And first I’d like to talk about the decision to home school. Now this is an important decision that you must make and you need to factor in 2 decisions, one – what is best for the child, and one – what works for you. Now for the child, how will he or she do one on one, most children are going to do well one on one. In a school setting, they can get lost in a crowd, they can get confused and get intimidated, and one on one they’re usually going to do pretty well. What about you? Do you have the time to devote? Because home school is a career, it’s a job; it takes up a lot of time. Do you have the discipline? And do you have the confidence? You don’t have to have a college degree in education to home school, but you do need to have a grasp of all the basic subjects.
