There are parents from different occupations are adopting to homeschooling with various reasons. Some like it, where some may not like it. According to statistics, there are nearly 5% of children from around the world are opting home schooling curriculum with increasing volume.

Secular Home Schooling

Secular home schooling is basically schooling left to the child’s interests based learning. These practices are supported by social community groups that have strong religious faith. They also want to to live in a closer bond with these children.

What are the benefits of secular home schooling?

* It encourages the child to create a strong bond with them as they grow up.

* This type of home schooling practice allows the child to express freely his or her wants and aptitude in learning what he or she has the most interest in.

* The child traditional values and beliefs remains with them.

* Safety and educational control.

The disadvantages of secular home schooling.

* When we allow the child to do what he or she pleases and chooses, he might end up with nothing the end; or the child do not enjoy studying or reading which may be neglecting his or her studies. This will affects his survival in the corporate world.

* Since the child are not able to deal with the outside world, he or she will lead into confinement in the community that is detrimental to the child’s growth within the society.

* If one child can’t get his or her own ways into their day-to-day activities, the child may lost something he or she wanted to do since childhood.

* It is rather difficult to have any real education to prove to the business world by attending secular home schooling curriculum. I am not saying have such an education is going to be wasted, but it is quite tough for them to survive in the real world.

Although secular home schooling has many disadvantages than benefits that the child will realize them sooner or later. However, some parents still practice this form of education, I think the main reason is driven mainly by their beliefs and community group that they believe in.

Although most families with strong religious background may not be highly educated, they are giving them the best in their life by not letting them expose to the real world.

We should not miss out on the simple things in life such as getting in touch with nature and having an education that teaches us the true value of life.
