Hello! My name is Terry Neven. I am the administrator of California home educators and principal of Sunland Christian School. In this clip we are going to talk about is home schooling right for me. Maybe you have began to look into home schooling and have figured it out how it works and where it begins. Is it right for me? Should my family home school. There are a few points you should consider as you approach this question. First off the needs of your child. Is your child in a position in life where home school will benefit them. Is your family in a position where you can home school them. Finances may be an issue. We also want to take into consideration that when you begin this process to stay committed to it for a period of time realizing there will be wonderful days, there will be days of blessing and there will be days of challenges. Just because you are teaching your child at home doesn't mean they are going to want to learn. You have to be prepared for that. The benefits of home schooling which we talked about and will talk about are things to be considered. Why is home schooling right for me? Will it help our family pull together? Will it help us in our parent child relationship? As you consider these, you can come to the conclusion that all factors being correct, home schooling can work for just about any student and any family.
