  What are the benefits of home schooling?             

                  According to the Family Education, home schooling increases with a growth rate of 7 to 15 percent per year. There are about two million children currently schooling at home and parents usually cultivate excellent children from eight main aspects of home schooling.
                  First, it is free for parents to choose various materials of education for each child (Shaw, 2000-2014).Generally, in the public school; students shall follow the learning process and the programs to learn different subjects. However, the courses may be too easy or difficult for individuals, but teachers have no ability to care and teach specific child who has difficulty in learning. Or some children who are superior to others, they may need extra special courses and another ways to develop their potential. In contrast, home schooling provides time and space for children to learn the knowledge according to their degree of intelligence and appropriate courses.
                 In addition, children who are educated at home can not only just learn the subjects in regular small rooms, but they have more opportunities to learn from the outside worlds such as museums, national parks, forests, mountains, oceans, airplanes, amusement parks, theaters and exhibitions. These varieties of learning approaches offer children to own the international insights and outlooks to negotiate with the global world. Comparing to the children who are studying in the traditional school, they are usually confined in the specific space to get the limited knowledge of the world trends. Consequently, children in the public school possess the less opinion toward the issues, because they frequently receive the knowledge without asking questions or thinking about the reasons. Teachers in the school gives the answers for students first rather than giving them the questions to solve the problems. Since teachers shall teach students according to   the stipulations of schedule.
               While the children of home schooling, parents can train children’s ability to solve the difficult questions such as science’s signs, math’s logic's instead of only giving children the theories and results. For example, the most famous inventor whose name was Thomas Edison was a home schooled child. According to Jim Powell, he described Edison that” as a home-schooled, self-educated youth, Edison learned lessons that were to serve him all his life. He learned education was his own responsibility. He learned to take initiative. He learned to be persistent. He learned he could gain practical knowledge, inspiration and wisdom by reading books. He learned to discover all kinds of things from methodical observation. He learned education is a continuing, joyful process.” Most of Edison's inventions fall into eight main categories: batteries, electric lights and power, phonographs and sound recording, cement, mining, motion pictures, telegraphs and telephones (Barksdale, 1998-2014).Homeschooled kids who are excelled at standardized tests are also welcomed to the colleges and universities. And as these children become adults, they have good characteristics such as self-directed, self- disciplined, creativity, honesty and reliance to be the trusty employees.
