For many families, home schooling children is a viable alternative to public education for several important reasons: Strengthening the family, providing adequate education, and to promote moral and religious values.

With a perceived declining in the educational quality of the public school system in America, many parents are coming to the belief that homeschooling can offer their children a better education and result in better opportunities later on in life.

Most families can’t afford to lose one of their regular paychecks.  Part-time, night or weekend work can supplement, but most of the time it won’t be enough.  There are a few ways around this that we can discuss.  Some of these might work for some couples, but not for others.  If you want to homeschool you might just have to get creative to get the job done.  If may not be an ideal situation, but it’s not forever.

The top three reasons parents gave for home schooling were:

1.    They had concern about the school environment.

2.    They wanted to provide more religious or moral instruction.

3.    They had dissatisfaction with the academic instruction available.

Most of the concern in reason number one is centered around violence, the threat of violence or the way students were allowed to interact with each other while at school.  As we all remember, there were always bullies and snide little girls who both found a way to play tricks, talk badly about us or in some cases actually cause us minor harm in some way.  Some schools have gone a long way past that sort of behavior these days.  Kids have been injured or killed and not just in the mass slayings so much in the news these days.  We’re talking about daily acts of purposeful harm or threats to students by other students.  Maybe it’s the violence in the media and movies or the latest gansta hip-hop song lyrics or even fast food; no one knows for sure.  The simple fact remains that it gets harder to deal with every year.  And it’s not just the kids making this a difficult matter to deal with.  Teachers have told me it’s much worse sometimes to deal with the parents of those kids.  Some parents blame the teachers themselves for the way their kids are and the way they act.  It’s as if there’s been a paradigm shift in some people’s minds that the school system should raise the kids and teach them right from wrong and how to conduct themselves around other people.  What had normally and rightly been a duty and responsibility of parents has now somehow  been shifted toward the school systems.  And in the litigious society we live in, we all know that kind of thing would even be impossible to do even if they wanted to.  Something is indeed out of whack.  It’s actually surprising more parents aren’t home schooling.

People who can work from home have the best situation of all.  Whether their work requires them to be at the computer or on the phone, they can set the children up right in their home office for lessons between calls or send them to a quieter room to complete an assignment or read.  They can spread the lessons out during the day and tend to the students as they can.

Although it may take a lot of organization, determination and energy, combining homeschooling with work can be done.  And it will be a rewarding experience for parent and student alike
