The value of homeschooling

On a 12 day trip with my parents visiting relatives from Texas to Tennessee, my dad said that he felt that my grandkids (his great grandkids) have a better chance of turning out okay since they're being homeschooled. I was floored when he said that. He has never verbally supported homeschooling in all the years I was homeschooling my children. But over the years, he's personally seen the value in homeschooling. We never really talked about homeschooling while my kids were young. He knew I was doing it, but we never really had a conversation about it.

Education vs. Schooling

I think one of the things homeschooling parents have is a crystal clear understanding of the difference between education and schooling.  It seems like the vast majority currently assume that the only place children can learn is at school. 

Near the end of the classic movie "Wizard of Oz" Dorothy's companions are given what they were searching for.  The wizard gives the scarecrow a diploma and somehow magically it makes the scarecrow smart. 

In real life merely giving a student a piece of paper does not grant him an education.  Putting in your time at a public school does not make children smart.

Because often students who attend school do in fact learn, people get confused about the process.  Without thinking too much about it a belief develops that sitting in a classroom will make children educated.


Parents who homeschool have a much sharper focus on what constitutes an education.  They know that some of the things that make a person educated are:

1) Having useful knowledge: We teach our children math facts, historical knowledge and practical things like how to run a house.

2) Knowing how to think: We teach our children logic and consequences.

3) How to find and learn what we need to know: We teach our children had to search the internet and how master new subjects.

4) Striving for wisdom: We teach our children to continue learning and working to understand the world more and more.

Clearly there are parents with children who see a difference between an education and spending time at school, but my experience is way too many parents see the two as the same basic thing.

Interspersed with these excellent posts from fellow bloggers are pictures of our most recent outings in the Smokies.

A benefit to homeschooling - the flexibility

Last week I asked my youngest daughter what she liked about homeschooling.  She said "Going your own pace."

Today I asked my oldest daughter what she liked about homeschooling.  My oldest daughter is seventeen.  She has never taken a class at a public school.  She is now in her senior year taking a full load of classes while also taking three classes at two of the local community colleges.

She focused on one main benefit to homeschooling: The flexibility.  She likes being able to work through the material in an order of her choosing.  She also likes being able to choose her learning environment.  She likes being able to work in the living room, kitchen or upstairs, depending on her mood.

She tossed in a second benefit to homeschool.  She likes being a little weird.  (I don't know where that came from.  :-)  )
