What enters your mind when someone mentions the term “Home School”?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read the article below to know more about what home schooling is and how some parents consider this education option. \u00a0Be ready to do the speaking activities in this article with your teacher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More and more families are choosing to teach their children at home. Although some families disagree or dislike with what is taught in schools, the reason for the new\u00a0trend\u00a0is different. Instead, home schooling better fits their\u00a0lifestyles\u00a0than public schools.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, Lisa Mazzoni and her family live in California and Florida. Lisa sometimes does her algebra or history homework by the pool or on her condo’s rooftop. Lisa’s mother says, “For someone who travels a lot and wants to keep the family together, it’s an excellent choice.” The Mazzonis own a speedboat company, and so they must travel\u00a0frequently.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Private teachers cost about $70 to $110 an hour, though. Supporters see in-home teaching as the chance to give children the best schooling with\u00a0flexible\u00a0schedules. However, some believe that children don’t have the chance to build friendships and social skills. Group lessons, such as ballet or sports, may help, but the\u00a0results\u00a0aren’t clear.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many companies that\u00a0supply\u00a0teachers and materials, which makes it easier for families to choose home schooling. Tiffany Wheeler, another home schooler, explains it best. “It’s fun,” she says as she sits relaxed at her bedroom desk.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
