There are a lot of reasons why someone chooses to homeschool. Listen to these four present some of them (Remember that on settings you can increase the playback speed!)
They include:
Values & Culture transmission; greater control over what your children are taught, teach your children your values & worldview, pull kids away from harmful influences & the indoctrination of public schools.
Academics & personalized education; more freedom & focus on individual differences and interests. Teaching to the child not to the test. There’s no evidence that suggests homeschooled kids are less educated or successful, and quite a bit that suggests the opposite.
Social; more freedom to choose the kinds of social interaction and the people you want to spend time with.
Family; more time to spend as a family and more flexibility in the schedule for extracurriculars, vacations, etc.
Efficiency; less time wasted on travel to and from, in between classes, on behavioral issues, etc.
You can really start on minute 6 with the video above.
