Home schooling is becoming more popular as Americans have lost faith in the educational system across the nation. This might be due to the low wages teachers are paid and the lack of qualifications it takes to become a teacher. There are many reasons why parents have lost faith in the government and they are teaching their children on their own. Here are a few interesting statistics regarding home schooling.

Over 1500 families were used in a random sample from a membership organization. The study showed that children educated at home had impressive scores on the standardized achievement tests. They scored at or above the 80th percentile in their grade levels. The national average for the education system in the nation is only at 50%. This is not because parents are using aromatherapy diffusers to aid in the learning process.

Taxpayers save money when children are home schooled. Over $7000 is saved in taxes because home schooling families still have to pay money to the school systems in taxes even though their children are not attending the public schools or using the resources. The schools have more money.

Schools are regulated and still failing. There is no success rate with the schools as there is with the Green Card Lottery through USCIS. Children who are home schooled learn from a parent that cares about their child’s education. Teachers are in most cases not even qualified to teach the subject matter in the classroom and have no education themselves. Children at home are still scoring in the high 80th percentile on all of the battery tests.

Many parents disagree and despise the educational system in the nation but they still put their children in the public schools because they believe that the children will do much better with the social life. Research has proved otherwise. Children don’t need that much socialization with other children as they do with their parents. When children are educated at home and spend more one on one time with their parents they are more likely to succeed in the real world than those in the public educational system in the United States. Social skills are developed through the contact with adults and not through children.

Home schooling is becoming more popular as parents struggle with the educational system in the United States. Too many children are being left behind in a nation that claims ‘No children left behind’ are the importance. Studies have shown that home schooling is more beneficial for children socially because of the interaction with their parents. It is important to keep in mind that students are scoring much higher on exams when they are at home with parents than when they are in the public educational system. You should look at the credentials of the person called a teacher who your child relies on for an education. However, you cannot blame the teacher because the government has taken so much of the wages away from the school systems that the educated teachers aren’t willing and they shouldn’t have to work for almost minimum wage. Your child is better off being home schooled by you.
