“There is no school equal to a decent home and no teacher equal to a virtuous parent” – Mahatma Gandhi. There are many reasons why a parent would want their child to home school. Homeschooling is very helpful for many children. It can be useful in many cases. Some children often get sick or suffer from medical conditions, are victims of bullying or are simply too stressed. Homeschooling is very convenient and useful for many children in the world. Everyone gets sick, some more, some less. Children getting sick can force them to stay home from school, especially if they are the type who constantly gets sick. If you skip school, you will fall behind in your classes. Teachers do a lot in a single day, so if you miss several days because you're sick you'll fall behind. If you are a student who gets sick often, you will fall significantly behind and your grades may suffer. Some children have serious medical conditions that prevent them from going to school. They need to learn, so homeschooling is a very convenient choice for such children. Another reason why homeschooling is helpful is perhaps that your child or someone at school you know is being bullied. It happens all the time. It could become serious and can sometimes result in death or other harmful things, such as the student being bullied, which can result in physical harm to themselves. Homeschooling would stop bullying. The suicide rate would decrease among adolescents. School is an obvious place for bullying. Many teenagers are bullied at school and some of them end up committing suicide. Homeschooling would reduce the risk of children harming themselves. School may also be too stressful for some students. The amount of homework some students receive puts a lot of stress on some, tests can be stressful and sometimes students have several tests on the same day so this is even more work and stress for a student. Teachers can be very unreasonable about work or tests. They don't understand how much stress it can put on some students. Having several tests in one day, a lot of homework, or both can really affect a student. Homeschooling can help reduce stress and students will do better at their work if they are not under the pressure and stress of school.
