"Why home school? There are ton of great reasons. One of the most important ones I can think of is that that's how people have been teaching their children all throughout history. It wasn't until about the 1850s that public schooling really began to take off in America. Until then, children learned at home. It was natural, it worked, and they got far more attention. Even today, even in a school that has a very low teacher-student ratio, the teacher has to divide their time between 10, 15, 20 different students. Just taking one hour a day to give your child one on one attention can make the largest difference in the world and their education. Studies show that when children learn one on one they can be taught in 1/3 the time. That means if a traditional school day is 6 hours, in just 2 hours a day, your child can learn better, can become more confident and can excel in all his or her studies far better than most traditional school settings. Those are the reasons. History, the one on one factor, and the time factor, which allows much more time for other types of education."
