PROS AND CONS

By Josiah Reiser

Pros:

-Your on your own schedule. You can be flexible with your time.

-You work at your own pace. No need to wait for other students to finish their work. Take the time you need to do the best on your work.

-You get to stay at home. It's extremely convenient to be able to stay at home everyday and get anything you need at any time.

-You can take Christian based courses. Learn from views that you know to be true instead of from the atheistic view you get in public schools.

-Homeschooling can coincide with your unique learning abilities. You and your parents are in control of what and how you learn not the government.

Cons:

-You don't get as much the social connection. Their are activities for homeschoolers to get together, but it's not as often as public school.

-You're in the house a lot. This may be a problem more or less depending on the weather.

-Your classmates may be just your siblings. It's really important to make peace with your siblings.
