10 BENEFI T S
OF HOMESC HOOL
By: Sammy C.
Sometimes we may either take for granted what we have or simply fail
to appreciate it enough because we already see it as something that is part of
our usual routine. This could apply to homeschooling. Hence, it is useful to
review or learn about 10 benefits that homeschool has brought to our lives.
You have control over your schedule. You can enjoy
getting enough sleep, and it does not matter what time you wake up
since you will not be late to class. You can study at the most
convenient and comfortable time for you. Just make sure you stay
responsible, and you will have a good experience.
You have friends all over the world.The online
classes and the student center have connected a lot of us
already. It is fascinating to see how much the Internet allows
us to do. For instance, it allows you to be friends with people
who are probably 12 hours away. You will find people who you
have common interests and with whom you can talk about
school or about your personal lives.
You have more time with your family. You do not have to
spend as much time getting ready for school, i.e. taking the bus or
doing homework. You are able to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner
along with your family. Your relationship with them is not
interrupted by the busy schedule that can result from school.
You can study anywhere. It can be at your desk, bed, living room, kitchen, or even
another country. Changing the setting where you study refreshes your mind and takes you
a bit out of your routine. As long as you have Wi-Fi, you can study anywhere and not miss
a class.
