Research conducted by Sandra Martin-Chang, an assistant professor in Concordia's Department of Education, shows that children who were home-schooled scored higher than their peers in seven different subjects. In this segment, she discusses the challenges and rewards of assuming responsibility for your child's learning with Wendi Hadd, a sociology teacher at John Abbott College who home-schooled her children.
Home schooled kids are a lot more pleasant to be around! They seem smarter, better behaved, know about a wider variety of subjects, and a lot more polite. The ones I've known over the years. have grown into wonderful adults.
I had two different ladies ask me if my kids were homeschooled who were all under 8 at the time. (One was in a dental office and another a bookstore). I asked why and they both said in their own words, that most of the homeschooled children they ran into were better behaved.
each time I speak to a teacher who has experience with REAL home-schooled children they say the same thing. Many people who drop out of mainstream schooling, end up hiding away at home, and then going back into mainstream and the teachers there are very quick to call that "homeschooling"... which it is not.
I taught in the public school system for 18 years. When we had our son, it was an easy decision to homeschool. He has never been to school but is socially well-adjusted and does very well academically. At 4, he's reading above a 5th grade level and is excelling at 2nd grade Science. I try not to bash the public school system because I am a product of it. I sincerely believe most of the teachers are very talented, enjoy what they do and are altruistic. I believe teachers do get overwhelmed due to oversized classes and excess pressure to "perform" well. I believe my son benefits a lot from the 1:1 attention he gets at home. It's was sacrifice for me to to leave my job and our family had to make financial adjustments... but it's worth it. There are some things money can't buy. It is a privilege that I do not take for granted because not everyone is able to do it. There are parents who would like to homeschool but need to work. I also try not to judge parents who do not homeschool. It is a personal choice and family dynamics are different. It is also not for everyone...especially the impatient.
Wendy made me laugh with this one:
“I don’t encourage all people to homeschool, just like I don’t encourage all people to have children”
Also, I just want to let people know that it's OK to homeschool/unschool your children, even if it isn't guaranteed to make them smarter. I was a gifted student and ended up dropping out because of the school system structure. My son was in school for 7 years and we had to fight with staff to get him what he needed... in the end, *nothing* helped him perform better.
You do what's right for your family and tell everyone else to stick their opinion where the sun doesn't shine
Oh my gosh… I had a similar situation and I felt guilty for standing up and fighting for my sons’ educational rights ! They gas lit me and my family so much but thankfully I never backed down.
I was home-schooled and I loved it. Great interview. I wish more people knew what homeschooling really was instead of all of the typical stereotypes.
It's fine if people are home schooled or not. I'm schooled the traditional way, and I'm still standing and surviving. But the only thing I hate about homeschooling is that some homeschooling parents try to force others to be home schooled. Not everyone, but I have a handful of people say that to my parents, and I'm only a teen. :/
You mean the industrial way.
Most public schooled kids are rude. Most homeschooled kids are polite. Who wins?
+StarrEyes86 then there is private school
Lol I'm homeschooled and you don't need to be polite when your homeschooled in fact we don't have school shootings bullies or well I'm only in sixth grade and I'm learning German which is one perk considering you will most likely
Learn it in high school but you'll get an education either way so like public school just as good and we do have Prom like Jeez ermahgerd
Uh.... Arrogance & ignorance are considered rude to most.....
+JaJa Im public schooled but want to be home schooled. its insane to have to wake up earlier than my dad TO GO TO SCHOOL... its too stressfull. Prinicipal says it fun. Hmm its defintily fun to read a textbook 8 hours a day with homework. sarcasm. i dont have the courage to tell my parents i want to be homeschooled but i cant. anyone help?
I wish i never went to public school. I have done too many things there i regret.
Angie I know how you feel. It feels awful. I'm 18 and it still hurts, it hasn't gone away. Public school ruined me. Public school felt like temporary slavery every day for me.
Luckily I got to experience homeschooling my last few years.
The only advantage about homeschooling is that your kids don’t get bullied, and don’t swear
as much as public school kids, (unless the parents swear themselves).Other benefit is you don’t have to drop and pick them off from school!
I had a hard time in public school which is part of the reason I am homeschooling my children. My oldest is going into her second semester of college with full scholarship and grants with a 3.6 GPA. We live in the U.S.A.
Dont worry it passed, you cant change it, but you learned from it And now you wont make those mistakes again.
public school always had the best variety of drugs.....
I've homeschooled for 20 years as well- everything this mom said resonates. Most of my kids read later but escalated to post twelfth grade levels within a couple of years. I put my oldest 3 in high school and deeply regretted it- socializing in the system means normalizing drug and alcohol use, over-emphasis on premature sex, working for a grade. My 4th is now 17 and has a self- imposed, extremely difficult curriculum. We use a tutor for higher level maths and he's utilizing the Great Works study for reading (St John, Thomas Aquinas University) which starts with Homer and works chronologically through all great literature. He writes constantly and is remarkably mature emotionally. I'm finding the same pattern with all of my younger children. As far as social skills, they're athletes, dancers, gymnasts, musicians. They have peer groups in activities, they have part time jobs, they're comfortable with all age groups, all of them have "best friends." The commenter who said that these kids are socially "crippled" needs to talk to a few homeschooled kids.
Amazing parenting!
Kids who are determined and motivated are smartest. Homeschooled, public schooled, or private school.
I agree! But i think that the day in, day out, mind numbing waste of time that public school kids have to go through kinda surpresses that drive to be successful. And some kids make it through and go on to do great thing im sure.
It's much easier to be motivated if you can pick the topics and the teacher. Which is one of the reasons home school is better.
After spending 40 hours a week at the public school, there is little time to add additional learning material which the public school is skipping. Little time to re-enforce a difficult subject. Children can't be expected to sit for 8 hours a day, and then come home and do 2 more hours of schooling.
Publicly schooled children are demotivated by the structure. Seems like homeschooling has life skills built in, whereas in public (or private) are very much, be here, do this - Being told what to do, instead of developing habits like being on time and organization. I had to learn these basic skills after school, and wouldve done much better had I learned them IN school (and early)
Determination and motivation are skills that are taught to children. All people have them, and can be taught to further those skills just like any other skill set. It comes easier to some people, and others need to be taught more patiently and with more focus just like any other skill set. The problem with the public school system is that you only get help if you are “bad” at something. If you fall between “great” and “bad,” there is no focused help for you, and you idle in the middle.
Give me a thumbs up 👍 if you're still watching this talk in 2021. It's so amazing the way Prof. Sandra Chang scientifically present the research insights in home-school kids and the way she presents her results. It's awesome as from my Africentric perspective we see homeschooling as "Informal Education" rather than "Formal Education" which is done in a confined environment ♻️ with a well-structured curriculum.
2023
@@bethswee1 ME TOO!
end of 2023! And imagine, the US educational/school system sucks even more!
I was homeschooled my entire education. In my junior year of high school I went to college a year early. My wife and I now homeschool our three boys.
When I went to college I ended up becoming friends with several homeschooled ppl. They are just like everyone else they have friends and now that we are all graduated they are getting married and having kids and planning on homeschooling their kids. I went to public school. I had a good education but I thank I will homeschool as well when the time comes.
My daughter is just now 5 easily reading 2nd grade level. Does math for fun. Asks questions about solar system, biology, and anatomy! She's in pre k she's board asks to stay home and read we decided to home school her. She is curious and very articulate!
What type of work or programs do you use?
Shonie, Your child sounds like an only child. I don’t say that as a bad thing either. Both of my kids are inquisitive, but the questions they ask are different based on when they were born. I’m glad you chose to homeschool. My oldest likes the structure of school, in my opinion but my youngest loves to do things at her own pace. From my own experience in testing homeschooled vs schooled 17-25 year olds, homeschooled applicants (I was a Marine recruiter) scored higher on tests in EVERY occasion. That is partly why we decided that it would never NOT be an option for our family.
4m the looks of wht u explained abt ur 5 yr old..u can apply 4 scholarship 4 private schools..she is a genius nd would get that 4 sure
I am a homeschooled child and it is widely acknowledged where I come from that homeschooled children have better social skills when conversing with adults.
I love the curly-haired lady, she's a total hippie lol and very smart.
Hi, I am a homeschool grandmother. I have had this lovable child sense birth. I raised my children in public school and I had her attending for awhile. Home school is better because the child gets the one on one attention they need. My child also is ADHD and PTSD therefore she has learning problems and this works ideal for her. I don't think that home school children are necessarily more intelligent but that what takes a public school teacher 8 hrs. to teach( interruptions, ...etc) I can complete in 3 hrs. If she is having a bad day, I can put her on something else. Also, public schools have so many days off for all these holidays and teacher meeting and etc., they don't get the time. We also do field trips and are part of a co-op so she is around others. Home school is the best of both worlds with more love.
I sent my eldest kid until grade 2 and realized I was getting maybe 30 hours at best a week with all of them. modern life wants the family separated....I missed my children. I didn't know who they were, or myself as a parent
I attended public school, my husband private, and we both attended college and/or university. We homeschool our two children. I think this video was very fair and accurate.
Charity begins at home. So should education.
Education is not charity. It's a human right for kids.
And what that "charity" should mean is that kids deserve the BEST education they is possible. No other consideration like "I want to spend more time with my kids" should matter really.
Good Program. Well done. We homeschooled and unschooled our kids who are now successful adults in their 30s. We also traveled with them as they competed in their sport on an international level. We used that time to learn about local history, ecosystems, and people. It was a very positive experience for all of us.
The socialization argument is ridiculous. Especially when raised in families with multiple children...Plus there are the parks and such where they interact with others.
are home schooled childeren smarter ,no,they are loved more 24 hours a day,thus become better educated through more time spent with them 1 on 1,its easy to dump your kids in the local prison every morning,then picking them up at the end of the day,its harder loving your kids 24 ,7 but worth it at the end,so im told anyway,lol
Amen, how to for you! Well said!
just the truth,im sure 1 day some fool will make me pay for that comment,
***** wow, good job kid your parents must be so proud . :)
No, the public schools don't teach very well.
This is a simplistic view though. Narcissism is wide spread. Especially what the one mother said, she wants to spend more time with her children... it is a purely selfish argument!
Sure your children will love you unconditionally. And for not few people that is very appealing, in a pathological way. And if you are ALSO their teacher you even have more power and control over them. To isolate them from other influences.
Maybe that is even natural and normal, but it is suspect.
I am going to homeschool my children because my husband and I are very qualified educationally and want to give the best to our children. My husband will be homeschooling our children and I will be working in a private school. the grade I teach, they will be in, but after that, homeschooling. I like that way because the parents have a say in education for their children
+L. Cornell (Raine) You don't think it should be the children's choice more than the parent's? Or that they should have a say, at least.
If we're going by evidence, more agency and self-direction is better.
@@smorrow no it’s not the kids choice. Kids do not have the ability to understand how things affect them long term. Parents make these choices because typically we’re more able to make better, more logical choices.
@@Chris-eo5be This... Who the hell thinks a 5yo child would know what's best? My son is in daycare right now and begs me to stay home with me every morning. My wife makes like 80% of our income and I'm here because I'm on the fence about becoming a homemaker father and homeschooling my two sons.
Even without my son begging to be at home, I honestly think homeschooling would be best. Im worried about the direction of public school and I want to spend as much time as I can with my sons.
@@smorrow Are you serious? I didn't have a choice and was made to attend public school. My father regrets it so much. I'm not 28 and have my life on track. However, I was introduced to sex, drugs, alcohol, bullying, etc thanks to being in public schools. I was sexually harassed daily in 1st grade by other boy students. I told the teacher, the school did nothing. "Kids will be kids".
Public school is not a good option, and it's only gotten worse. Home schoolers do better across the board! Regardless of the parents education, income level, etc. Studies have been done that prove this.
How is it going @@donrogers3058 ? Did you decide to be a homeschool dad?
I just pulled my 10 year-old daughter out of public school and committed to homeschooling.
My eldest son just turned 18 is about to graduate from public school. My 5 yr old is in kindergarten but I'm going to homeschool him. I did tot school for him and my 3 year old and I have discovered homeschool is going to be what's best for us. I wanted to homeschool my teen but I listened to too many other opinions and it's just been a not so good experience with public school. My 3 year old is already interested in biology and learning about the human body and how it works. My 5 year old is also very interested in science and during public school the main focus is math, reading and spelling. He can already read on a first grade level. At home we can spend more time on what they love.
Allowing kids to choose video games or TV during the day instead of school... at all... before schoolwork has been done is neglectful. We homeschool, and I would never allow that.
I only let my step son play video games on the weekends. They can be so distracting .
I believe you are talking about taking breaks. Wendi is talking about doing games instead of school if the child so chooses, which is nonsense in my very informed opinion. Glad you are so smart. Get that cough looked at.
but it's a proven fact that playing video games makes you more concentrated and more smart
Stunt Hard #NBA oh yes. I forgot about that.
Just A Random Nigga Passing By yes! People who play video games are better with instructions and hand-coordination! But still too much isn't good for them!
We have moved to Thailand for volunteer work. I teach in Australia and have been very interested in homeschooling.
We have taken this year to try it out. Six months in and out son has probably made one years worth of progress. We are so impressed that we will look into continuing when we move back to Australia!
Love the video!
Which curriculum did you use?
Education is not only about academics and book learning. It is also about life skills. My sons (homeschooled) can also diagnose and repair appliances, engines, and automobiles. They are also pretty proficient in repairing computers, setting up networks, and installing Linux on multiple platforms. My Daughter (homeschooled) is excellent at cooking.
My wife and I feel robbed because public school may have taught us about Beowulf, but not even how to cook, live, find bargains, nor make smart financial decisions. There was never an emphasis on staying out of debt no matter what. No emphasis on frugality or contentedness. We had to figure that out on our own....
Also the public school system infuses children with biased politics, anti-religious agendas, ridiculous peer pressure, and ideologies that seem very distorted. The anti-social misinformed rumor of homeschoolers is silly. Where else in life are you stuck in a room with 25 other people your own age? You'll find in life you are constantly around people of multiple ages! I've found that homeschoolers are superior when speaking to people outside of their age group.
Also, public school is brainwashed welfare. Yes, no different than food stamps. It's relying on others to pay for your child's education because you can't afford it or care to afford it (again frugality can free you from perpetual debt). It costs nearly 10k-12k a year to put a child through school... That's a lot of welfare.
Quintus Tertullian yep I agree! I am home educated and I have fixed loads of things! Computers, a fridge, a lawn mower etc! I know how to cook meals etc! I only have a few friends but they are great friends! We have things in common and we will be friends for life! It's great!
Thanks for this point of view! #Awesome
Wonderfully put. I'm considering homeschooling as well and this is encouraging. Can you please tell me how you got to teach your kids how to repair appliances. I never thought about that but it's such a practical and useful knowledge to have.
@@hannahn7375 does public school teach how to repair appliances lol🙄🤔🤔
The beautiful thing, to me, about what you said is that it shows your children were allowed to and had time to pursue things that interest them, and are helpful to them. I think that’s excellent, and something public school cannot replace. They get to see their parent involved in their life, rather than replaced by a teacher. And when it comes down to it, public school is extremely new, compared to how skills are handed down to children through the ages.
Very interesting though early data...clearly the moderator was trying to be neutral yet constantly revealed a veiled antagonism to homeschooling...statists know who write their checks. We need much more inquiry into the dynamics at work between home schooling (educational freedom) vs public schooling (state enforced education/information control) We must ask the right questions.
I was homeschooled and placed higher in the placement test than an entire class of 30 for college. I got only 2 problems wrong and most others left with a D.
The host is obviously biased. Has anyone picked up on her tone when asking questions toward the homeschooling mom?!
But the GoVeRnMeNt CuRrIcUlUm
lol
not at all. questions seemed pretty good and objective. as for facial expressions, I might have missed some as I rather tend to listen. I would give the host a grade close to the top :)
Not as much as your tone towards the host.
Shes french
She is. I thought it was me.
How I wish I was homeschooled! I went to public school and high school. Wasnt really crazy about it. I'm sure I would've learned so much more if I were home schooled.
Structured homeschool is superior for many reasons. The main one being reading. Public school is teaching the sight/ word memorization (Kurzweil) method which is a complete failure, and the reason why literacy rates continue to decline in Canada and the US. Homeschoolers teach phonics, which is the product of higher literacy rates of bygone decades.
In Alberta, the teaching of reading is phonics based as well. There are sight words as well, a common list that are so common that no one would ever sound them out after one year of reading, unless there are learning difficulties.
This! I sent my daughter to a charter school for kinder. They stressed sight words and did not teach phonics. Her brain could not memorize these large words because she wasnt taught phonics. So I started homeschooling and we are doing phonics and sight word books and after just a month of me working with her this way she is starting to read.
I taught for 6 years & there was more phonics based instruction. In the past there have been sight based reading. A balance of both is needed as many words can not be read phonetically. If you think about it most words you read now are by sight because you’ve memorized them.
I learned by phonics too, back in the early 1970's, had lots of phonics books which were easily purchased at a department store like Caldor or Bradlees. Mom was a teacher before marrying and having two kids.
In the US there is no statistical difference in the aptitude achievement scores of homeschoolers between racial and economic subsets-in other words affluent non-minority children score about the same as non-affluent minority children, all score in the mid 80s.. This cannot be said of public education.
Public school children score on average in the 50s, homeschoolers as I said in the 80s.
Public school costs an average in the US $14,000 per child per year, homeschooling about $500 per child or $1,000 per family per year. rate, crime rate, incarceration rate, addiction rate, sexually transmitted infection rate.
If you look at the actual facts, public primary education comes out as an expensive option with poor results. You would never chose a dentist, doctor, lawyer, repair service, car, TV, a vacation spot or any product that cost more with worse outcomes. So why do we allow it for our children's education?
Open your eyes, ears and mind to the facts.
Homeschool Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) commissions a study every few years researching homeschooling-see their website.
Public schooling costs an average estimation of about $10,500 per year (That's federal, state and local government spending combined).
Other than that, you're 100% correct!
Peter Griffín
Thank you for the accurate information.
I stand corrected :)
No problem man! Just thought I'd maybe point that out for future reference. It really is pathetic how poorly public schools perform - I know from experience (:
I appreciate the tact with which the researcher spoke, often correcting the woman asking the interview questions
I keep telling my parents that homeschooling me will make me smarter, and me going to school will make me do worst in tests. But my parents never believed me that homeschooling is better than going to public school, is there something I can do to make my parents homeschool me?
Me too, I'm convincing my mom or else I'll probably purposely fail school.
Make a PowerPoint describing homeschool facts and reasons why you want to be homeschool. Then make a slide of the curriculum your going to use and cost. Once they see your passion they will at least consider it.
@@sarahcollins4555 Thanks for the advice, but the truth is I have asian parents so i dont think its ever gonna happen
This is wonderful. It would be great if they did a study on the different styles of homeschools.
I truly believe this. I had such a hard time learning in school. Based on how I learned, I would have benefited much more.
This was a very nice discussion. Thank you for sharing it.
Just b/c a kid doesn't go to school during the day does not mean that they don't have a life. At about 2:30pm/3:30pm other kids come home and they will play with them then. They just don't spend their morning with them. I know many homeschoolers and my little brother just started b/c he has autism and public school is a real struggle for him. I used to thank the same things you do but found out that I had a LOT of misconceptions.
Great conversation...thanks for posting!
I'm a big fan of structured homeschooling, with child led learning included. My kids are in public school, but this is their last year. We are fixing up our home to move further south in the county, where I will homeschool our three boys. They will all be in middle school next year. I have always homeschooled my children in addition to their public schooling to some extent. We do learning activities, projects, play logic games, visit the library, read books together, and do field trips all summer long, and on the weekends. My youngest son is highly intelligent, and autistic, and I am very concerned about how he will be treated and manipulated by other students. My oldest son is very easily influenced by his peers, and tries to impress them by acting cool. Our public schools here are some of the best in the United States, therefore I'm not worried so much about the education they have received, but rather the negative social aspects. I've always been right on the edge of homeschooling, but I feel convinced that the time has come. I'd really like to be much more closely involved in their social development.
As the saying goes, the first agent of socialisation for the child is the "home" therefore homeschooling could build in some abilities in the child which could prepared him/her for Public Schools. I am a leaving example of homeschooling as my parents taught me at home and before I could go to Primary school at the age of 4️⃣ years in Cameroon 🇨🇲 I could spell very well at class 2
But why testing the common school curricula? Everyone knows that we all forget almost all the stuff we have learned at school and one of the reasons so many parents decide to take their children off from school is just that they disagree with precisely that kind of standarized test philosophy. It doesn't tell much. Much more meaningful skills should be assessed. Like the ability of kids to learn a subject by themselves, their creativity, imagination and ability to self-direct their own learning process. If you look at that the results would have taught a much different story...
+Pinco Pallino self directed self impassioned study is superior to the public school model.
+arcnaver tipdog That's precisely what I wrote.
Fluffy The Arctic Wolf same Im deciding for that too
Steve Risser Do you still have the entirety of the unit circle memorized? Do you still remember the names of the presidents of the United States in order? Or do you remember how to play hot crossed buns on the recorder? Oh no, don't tell me that you've forgotten how to do the Macarena.
I love the Question session by the Host. The question sessions seem like the"Moments of truth".
Great interview! Thanks for sharing! =)
As mom of a homeschooled child, I can only speak anecdotally. It has been my experience that children learn best where ever they feel safest, and most comfortable. For many children that would be at home. Unfortunately, for many other children home is not a safe space, and school is a sanctuary. My choice to homeschool came from my assessment to my child’s individual needs, and also to avoid the difficulties that come with peer influence as mentioned here. Children grades k-3 are naturally inquisitive. They have an innate drive for mastery. The US school system seems to teach children that teachers ask the questions, and not the pupils. Once you see the symptoms of anxiety in your kindergartner, it makes the decision simple. Our basic academics are structured to meet our states requirements. Even within the structure there is room for adjustment catering to my child.
I'm worried about your child, because if you homeschool your child, what if your child doesn't get accepted into university or college due to homeschooling
@@mysticblood212More colleges and universities are accepting homeschool students.
@@SeeGeekRun is it just in the USA or is it everywhere around the world
@@mysticblood212 I'm not sure about elsewhere in the world. Yes, more USA universities and colleges are accepting homeschool students. A lot of parents are making sure their kids are taking accredited classes such as dual enrollment courses through the community colleges, accredited courses through curriculum companies, and even taking a class or two through the local high school.
@@SeeGeekRun Thats sad because I don't live in the USA
learning is much more fun than bubble tests as I conversed with a teacher who is weary of test alone. also it prepares from family time and home with church grand parent visits holidays and this steps incorporates business world and lands specifics and college is personal experience closer to home study than a boring system
I went to an elementary school were we didn't get grades and got to chose when we learned what every week. All of the six years everyone thought we would turn out uneducated etc. after 6 years, before middle school we had to take a standardised test . I was the second best student of the whole country with an almost perfect score. And I can honestly say I barely did any homework. But, it wasn't like that for everyone in my class. I think a free education works for some kids, but for others it really doesn't . I am a smart kid, I love watching documentaries, reading books, watching debates and learning new things in general. I am homeschooled now and do I like why I have to learn? no, I don't like some of the things but in my opinion the most important thing is learning that you have to do and learn things I am not interested in. So I can graduate. I am 16, I live on my own and school myself; Still about 70% of my day are things I don't like to do and that's life and f you get that homeschooling can be great
thanks for the a good conversation even I am still there are many critical point about homeschooling has been discussed so we are looking for more depth discussion to make it clear for as concern parents about our kids. thanks Concordia University for highlighting this point. Ali
would love to see an update on this research. thank you
I homeschooled my daughter and she now has her PHD in microbiology and works as a genetic scientist. My friend homeschooled her daughter then put her back in school for high school where she graduated as valedictorian of her class as well as being a concert pianist.
Did your daughter get into university for free
This is a fabulous discussion of all aspects of homeschooling and unschooling.
Kids grow up to quickly at school not being given free time, free to to nbe themselves.
This has provided me the information I needed. The homeschooling Mom is very smart and it all makes perfect sense now on why homeschooling is the best choice.
Marie... If you're a homeschool mama or a prospective one, I have something exciting for you!

Fantastic conversation. I'm a homeschooling mom and I'd love to see more studies. I have a child with symptoms of a learning disorder. The public schools in my area have great resources for children who are non-typical learners of all kinds. I'm determined as a parent to provide good instruction in the midst of this and am curious as to how children with, say, dyslexia perform in a structured homeschool setting versus a good public school with adequate resources.

We home school and I love it. We do a mix of both unschool and structured. We have structured curriculum for reading wrighting spelling math history and science then after we do our structured curriculam then we do something the child wants to learn. Right now mine is really big into cooking. So I give her everything she needs and only assesst as needed.
35 year teacher and home tescher too. I don't think it is the criticall factor
Home teachers use canned materials which are as good as what they would probably get in public school. However I did not use preprepared material but prepared all my lessons from scratch. Most -PS students get poor quality schooling and home schooling allows you to prepare lessons on evolution, history, sex ed, and politics and religion. Good luck.Just my opinion........make a musical instrument and learn to play it and read music and compose some original music. Make paints from rocks or herbs and make a canvas and draw and paint a picture......grow a garden and prepare a thanksgiving dinner without usng receipes.....make a set of maps for an acreage in the mountains showing food chains and animal and plant distribution...the ecosystem. Reading have students read the bible...compose an original psalm and prepare stir es from resl world following bible standards. Make some proverbs and narrate the history of their church. Do it make it real No canned learning. Design an abacus and use it to make andcompute add subtract multiply and divide money numbers fractions and percent and proportions. Have your kid make a mathematical game. Etc Etc Etc. Kids rarely get really quality instruction like making their own robot. Get the idea? Language...have your kids create their own original language. Top level stuff!
I'm homeschooled and my best friend is in public school and i see her all the time. Im also in a homeschool group that is really big and we go on really cool field trips every week. :)
I was not homeschooled, but I had classmates who had been, and they always struck me as particularly bright.
Great information!
I love how these two women managed questions from the interviewer, who clearly was a little confused or maybe purposefully a little ignorant. Very quantitative, repetitive, a somewhat negatively charged questions... I couldn't help it but pick up on "judgy" energy from the interviewer. Why do we need to COMPARE kids?? For what purpose? Perhaps she was representing the average population of people who are so poorly educated about education choices. The questions were managed so gracefully, kindly and intelligently by these two remarkable women! Kudos!
I love home educating my girls.
Thats amazing, but does your girls learn by themselves online or do you educate them?
By the way, the study discussed is called The Impact of Schooling on Academic Achievement: Evidence From Homeschooled and Traditionally Schooled Students.
I found it here: zoleerjemeer.nl/files/1313/9109/4391/The_Impact_of_Schooling_on_Academic_Achievement_-_onderzoek_effecten_unschooling_en_gestructureerd_onderwijs_sept_2011.pdf
Homeschooling with a set curriculum being 5 grade levels above public school? That sound about right. For me, personally, I would aim still higher. By the age of 18, I would prefer my kids to at least be finished with Calculus I through III, Differential Equations, and Linear Algebra. Their reading level should be somewhere within a college level. I don't have a specific goal for reading; only that their ability should be at a point where they have no issue reading college level material and historical documents. They should have a strong foundation in the sciences, with a firm grasp of how the natural universe operates (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Human Anatomy, Astronomy, Botany, Ecology, Geology, etc.). They should have a solid grasp on Scripture. They should know what they believe and why they believe it. I would expect fluency in at least a few foreign languages, as well as a few programming languages. I would expect a thorough understanding of history. These are all goals that I first expect myself to master. One thing for certain is that I don't expect my children to attain higher than myself. If they do, that's great. But my view is that, if I want them to perform better, I must do so first.
I can't tell if you're joking or not. One thing about homeschooling though is that the parent has the opportunity to refresh or learn many subjects again with their child. You do not have to master a subject before presenting it to your child. Especially in later years when the subject matter is more difficult, it is enough to get a textbook from a specialist and read it with your child. The parent is only the teacher during the younger years. During the later years the parent merely provides a study atmosphere, discipline, and guidance choosing study topics. The textbooks/resources from the specialists in those areas are now the teachers.
Well done! I enjoyed this.
This interview would of been a lot better if they had a few more other homeschooling moms that DO have structured curriculum and days.
Homeschooling DOES give you the freedom to custom instruct. That I like.
Especially ones that actually taught their kids the basics
I think the “socializing” excuse against homeschool is laughable. School is not the only place to find other children. Imagine if the only place you had time to meet friends was at your job? How do you think that would work out? Children are meant to be surrounded by adults, and children alike. They shouldn’t be limited to their classroom peers. My sons best buddies are the neighbor kid, neighbor kids cousin, and my nephew that is just a year younger.
Homeschooled children are taught to take initiative in creating friendships rather than simply being acquainted with hundreds-thousands of others who they are forced to spend time with. I hate the “socializing” misconception as well. Actually, many children become overwhelmed with constantly being around a bunch of other people for 7 hours a day and need more space…I was one of those kids. Introverted, autistic…I was deeply depressed with the sensory overload I felt at public school. Homeschooled kids can be involved in extracurriculars, and spend more like 2-3 hours a day with friends (smaller group of kids, too) and be way better off than being thrown into the prison that is public school.
you base the curricula on the needs, interests and abilities of the child. you look at the whole child as well as his/her learning style. The teacher can create the curricula, but base it off those things as well. half teacher and half student. hands on experiences,making things visual and using real life materials helps too. For example, if you are learning about fractions, bring a piece of paper and pen to the kitchen table and make a recipe while learning math
If you Homeschool your child, pace is key. Teachers really care for you unlike public school teachers. The homeschool teachers see you are doing great with pace and they call to ask if there's anything they can do to help or give great feedback. This is coming from a homeschool high school student.
I recently decided to home school because my poor daughter was getting bullied it was ridiculous that she wasn’t safe to go to school 6th grade I am extremely disappointed 😔 that she couldn’t just go to school and be safe I honestly don’t care how much she’s learning or not if she’s not safe ,,,,,,,, she was getting straight As but ooh well she’s much happier now I’m trying to get her in to a different school but home schooling for now .
The children may not be smarter, but they will still be children and much more safer than any public school can make them!
my thought right now is where did the original idea of formal schooling start historically ...for research purposes - so glad that this is moving toward evidence-based research - " mom with kids in formal schooling structure" - challenging
I think all kids are smart. They have the capacity to learn no matter where they go to. The difference is how they are educated.
Besides academics, kids have time to learn how to take care of themselves, become financially literate, take care of animals, structure their own time etc. I also love that they fight and have to work it out. They wouldn’t get that if they were in all different grades at school. They wouldn’t really know each other. My brother and I didn’t become friends until we were adults bc public school kept us apart.
Arielle... If you're a homeschool mama or a prospective one, I have something exciting for you! Give your child a BRIGHT future by teaching him/her to read in early age in a very efficient scientific way using one of those guaranteed exclusive reading programs & don't forget to share with your loved ones:

Cheers 👍
who here can produce an update on this subject??
I wish 🙏 I had the link 🔗 to Prof. Sandra Martin-Chang article on the research on homeschooling so I could proofread for more insights
Every adult I know bashes me for homeschooling my three kids. If I had 10 kids I’d still homeschool. While some moms celebrate dumping their kids after summer break, I take great joy in shopping for our mew year, taking inventory of what we already have, recycling curriculum within my kids school year, and organizing my homeschool agenda. I notice most moms or people that find it offensive that I homeschool
Is based on jealousy, they know my kids are more open minded and smarter and more focused on education than their kids. My children think other kids that are in public school find education exciting.
Even in public universities you will find - rigid curriculum guided courses and philosophically student guided courses (based around a subject). Very similar to homeschool.
Can we see the study?
Wow. Pretty small sample sizes there.
some mom's spent twelve hours in day care as preschoolers I taught 8 hour days so today these parents are on u tube matching my lesson plan though disconnected hands on topic as questions and answers learn both ends
VotzSKiLLioN, "Home-schooled kids have no social skills whatsoever." Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was FUNNY!!!!!! :D
I'm home-schooled and have over 260 friends on facebook that I know all but three from having a social life(in other words, from meeting them in person). I also see them all quite often.
The people I consider close friends consist of 20 different people.
I honestly have a very hard time keeping up with all my friends since there are so many.
Yes, some home-schoolers are hermits, but most of us have more friends than we know what to do with.
My mom went to public school and doesn't even talk to any but two of the people she knew back then because she didn't like the people's "social skills".
Just sayin'.
Oh my god! 260+ friends on Facebook! Wow!
***** lol maybe the facebook friends things wasn't such a great argument but I DO know them all personally and see them all regularly because I have this thing called a social life. Using facebook was just a quick adding up of my friends.
Online friendships are still a form of socializing. My son is autistic and he couldn't care less about talking to people in real life, but he has MANY friends online. Personally, I hate socializing. The idiocy of the world is crippling. Being forced to socialize is living hell.
Awesome share! Homeshcooled children can build genuine friendships instead of being stuffed into a "friendship" with 28 other individuals they have nothing in common with besides they were all born the same year before a specific date in September.
@@eagann92 Yeah a thousand friends on fb makes you more sociable, spare us your sarcasm.
My two year old knows the alphabet already. My 7 year old also knew the alphabet, and recognized all of his letters/phonetics by 2.5. Singing the alphabet, and looking for letters as you would colors, or shapes is another method to start early on. Something as simple as having an alphabet banner, puzzles, and music available early on is something anyone can implement.
I agree!! My daughter learned her alphabet at 2, could count to 10, knew her colors, shapes, etc. By 3 she was counting to 25, recognized letters, wrote her letters, can write some small sentences (for example: I love Dad), can count objects and match with the correct number, and knows alot about the human body works (bones, muscles, digestive system). She's about to turn 4 and she's beginning Abeka on Aug 1st. She loves learning! I've been home schooling since she was 1, although learning took place way before then!! ❤️❤️
Terrific video with two experts on the topic of home schooling, child-centered learning and other similar paths of education. Mots of the points discussed are pro homeschooling. #education #homeschool #unschool #democraticschool
Most teachers homeschool their children ✋🏼
If homeschooled kids are registered for extracurricular classes, such as sports and/or music, etc, they won't be lacking in social skills.
Well, that's nice to know especially since I'm going to be roadschooling my little sisters next year... (roadschooling is homeschooling while traveling.) Interesting study.
It's been 10 years and I think you and your little sisters have grown up
Homeschooling focuses on the child mastering skills and not which grade level they should be in despite having mastered skills or not. Many students in public school are being pushed to the next grade level when they haven't mastered skills.
And when they're not being pushed forward, when they're held back, I would imagine that remains a part of their identity for a long time. The feeling that they're "dumber" than their same-age peers, or slightly defective. Rather than being able to develop at whatever pace you develop at, and receive whatever extra help you need, with no stigmas attached.
I think I should have had multiple homeschool mom on the interview because everyone does a different. I homeschool my children. And I have a daily . routine. I plan my curriculum out for the entire year excluding field trips
Public/Private schools are prone to accidents, lockdowns and students dont get that much attention because they spend 7 hours in school and come home late.
How often are these "extracurricular classes"? Once a week? Are the other kids in those classes home-schooled as well?
I am thinking about being homeschooled because I am being picked on by my class and they ripped up my art homework (which took me ages and it cost a lot of money to print it, and my family is on benefits, which is where you get paid to look after your children and we only get the bare minimum of the amount) and it's given me depression and anxiety and I am starting to feel suicidal. And today I had a depression breakdown (it made me burst into tears with how depressed I feel and it made me want to grab a knife and slit my throat) then my mum said I could be homeschooled and I have been thinking about it but I don't know what to do. (I have talked to teachers about it but they just said ignore them)
Person Person I was homeschooled for 9 years before I started school in year 10 and I would say go for it if it will help you, I can honestly say that I won't mind going back to it if I were given the chance. I hope your life goes well and good luck with the art!
Well, one really bad thing about public schools is bullying and distractions, if you are being bullied, you are more than likely to fall behind in school. If you are online, you can block them and or have better proof they are bullying. And I can't stress enough, DISTRACTIONS... If there is even 1 kid who doesn't try and all he/she does it crack jokes in class, you will be focusing on them and not learning. So I think kids should start online...
It's very unlikely to get bullied online unless the people know who you are or you're famous
not true. kids can join sports and clubs. there is also a homeschooling association that meets weekly.
Home schooling (structured) can only succeed, imo, when mothers have enough financial stability to not go for work and can afford to be 100% involved. After all in order to teach kids, the parents will have to do some pre-lesson prep work and all that takes time. I wish the moderator had queried on these aspects from the guests. Not all parents can be successful homeschooling. Also the parents have to be highly educated to be able to teach higher grades.
+Ajay mittal I agree for the younger grades, that the mom (or dad) needs to be present for it to work, however, when you get to the higher grades, there are many more resources to homeschool the older kids. In the end, unless your parent homeschooling you _does_ have a higher degree in learning, they'll probably learn using a video-based program with teachers teaching, but still flexible, still with the desired curriculum
isnt that a kind of fail of the public school system though that a parent may not be able to teach higher level stuff such as calculus/algebra?
i dont think parents having qualifications is a good guide
i think a strong sense of responsibility and desire to enable their child/ren to become the best n most diversely educated they can provide for is a much stronger guide of the success of homeschooling.
A highly qualified parent may have a child with learning difficulties that they simply cannot relate to because they lean too heavily upon their own experiences and how easy everything was for them to learn. It's why professional sports people do not tend to make the best sports teachers (bar inspiration of what is possible of course) they simply cannot relate to the struggles of the average joe
Www.Abeka.com is awesome for older homeschooling
Homeschooling allows more space for developmentally appropriate learning experiences. ❤️
How do you be a home-schooled kid?
This is just a curiosity question. I am English and very few children are home schooled here. Can any parent home school their child or do they need teaching qualifications? Is the curriculum the same as public school? Do they have to take the same subjects as public schools and do they have to pass the same exams set by the State?
It depends most states in the United States need 1 standardized test a year that measures where they are in certain subjects. Not all subjects needed. It depends on where you live and the laws
A very belated reply - I had forgotten that I had not replied to you for all your detailed and informative information. Thanks.
This is several years late but I'm also in the UK. So, to answer your questions - no, you don't need a qualification to homeschool. You don't have to follow the curriculum or do the same subjects but the curriculum guidelines are available online. And kids do not have to take the exams that public schooled children take - 11+, SATs, GCSEs but parents can have their children take them if they wish for them to have those qualifications.

They also can skip grades
Good work 👍👌😀!
