- One advantage of homeschooling is that parents have the freedom to utilize an ever growing selection of curriculum. This includes subjects that aren't readily taught in their district.
- Children who are homeschooled can get much more accomplished, in a shorter period of time. Many times it only takes a few hours to get through what would be a week's lessons, in the traditional classroom. Homework can be eliminated, as well.
- Educating at home is an excellent way to improve family relationships. This is predominately because of the amount of quality time spent together, on an ongoing basis.
- One disadvantage of homeschooling is that it can be very time-consuming to decide on and then prepare lesson plans. There is so much available that it is sometimes difficult to coordinate all necessary subjects in a short period of time.
- Unfortunately, not everyone is an advocate of homeschooling. Many times, there will be friends and family members who will question and disapprove of this method of education.
- Being together all the time, could be considered a disadvantage in some families. However, one solution to this might be scheduling outside activities, on a regular basis.
