Homeschooling
Homeschooling or homeschool (also called home education or home based learning) is the education of children at home, typically by parents but sometimes by tutors, rather than inother formal settings of public or private school. Although prior to the introduction of compulsory school attendance laws, most childhood education occurred within the family orcommunity,[1]homeschooling in the modern sense is an alternative in developed countries to attending public or private schools.
Homeschooling is a legal option for parents in many countries, allowing them to provide theirchildren with a learning environment as an alternative to public or private schools outside the home. Parents cite numerous reasons as motivations to homeschool their children. The three reasons thatare selected by the majority of homeschooling parents in the United States are concern about the traditional school environment, to provide religious or moral instruction, and dissatisfaction withacademic instruction at traditional public and private schools. Homeschooling may also be a factor in the choice of parenting style. Homeschooling can be an option for families living in isolatedrural locations, living temporarily abroad, and to allow for more traveling; also many young athletes and actors are taught at home. Homeschooling can be about mentorship and apprenticeship, where atutor or teacher is with the child for many years and then knows the child very well.
Homeschooling may also refer to instruction in the home under the supervision of correspondence schools or umbrellaschools. In some places, an approved curriculum is legally required if children are to be home-schooled.[2] A curriculum-free philosophy of homeschooling may be called unschooling, a term coined in1977 by American educator and author John Holt in his magazine Growing Without Schooling. In some cases a liberal arts education is provided using the trivium and quadrivium as the main model.
