As a parent who has all three children fully home schooled now I can confidently say it is just the better way to educate children. The article slightly alludes to this, but homeschooling today is not the kids sitting at home independently going through workbooks, with limited interaction. The big revelation to me when we started this journey was that homeschooling can be done in groups, not on a day by day basis, but by aligning curriculum with other families and working independently you get this amazing interaction where the kids can relate to others doing the same work, they can have meetup's and group sessions on some regular basis, and they can still have a generally fully customized experience to meet the child learning exactly where they are. The most poignant example of the overwhelming benefit of homeschooling was when we found out that our son was really struggling with math. He was able to answer most problems, but was consistently getting basic things wrong. He never actually internalized the math he had learned and now in 5th grade he was struggling with not knowing things like math facts or order of operations, or anything of how to deal with fractions. In a traditional school he would likely be tracked into remedial math, and would spend the rest of his school time there. However by just spending more time on math each day he was able to quickly address his issues and start better understanding his new coursework. Same thing with reading for my daughter, she was a prolific reader, and quickly advanced to books she saw her older brother reading, but when we had her do school work she couldn't complete basic comprehension work for the age level books we were assigning. Well it turns out it wasn't that she didn't comprehend them, it was that she never learned how to communicate details, we spent six months having her read and explain very simple books, and quickly she was back up to speed and excelling in both reading and comprehension tasks. We wouldn't have been able to do either of these without dedicated and time consuming intervention. The exact kind of intervention you would never get in even the most dedicated public schools. The only place you can get that kind of prolonged dedicated attention is with parents at home. Add into this that we have been able to _vastly_ expand the scope and sequence of what our kids are learning because we can just firehose them as much new material as they can take and you quickly see that a child who is excited about learning, who is able to explore and discover, and isn't bound to an artificial school day, or school year, or school curriculum will learn so much more then their traditionally schooled counterparts. After this last year we are 100% sold on never sending our kids back to traditional school, it would be unloving and would be doing them a disservice. We decided that if it came down to it, we would rather move away from the extremely high cost of living world we live in today so we could be a one income household and give our kids the attention they deserve rather then let someone else try and raise them for us.
