What are the cons of homeschooling?

Even before coronavirus many students were homeschooled. Different people have different reasons. Some people homeschool their kids because they shift a lot, some just to try and see if it's better than public school, and many more! Home education is great, but like anything it has it's shares of pros and cons!

Today we will take a look at the cons of homeschooling.

What is homeschooling?

Like the name suggests, homeschooling (or home education) is when students learn from their house, usually by the parents. Not all parents choose to send their kids to normal schools. And lucky for them homeschooling is an option! Homeschooling was not a common thing before covid. Recently, because schools are closed, online classes have came to save the day! Which is kind-of like homeschooling, but not quite.

What are the cons of homeschooling?

Now that we know what homeschooling is, let us check out some of the cons of it. Some of the cons of homeschooling are:

• Socialising Difficulties
• Requires More Organization
• No Big Events To Look Forward To
• Homeschooling Materials Can Get Expensive
• Lack Of Facilities
• Requires More Discipline
• Fewer Breaks for Parents and Kids, Too!
• Record Keeping

Final Conclusion: Is homeschooling better than public school? 

Well it depends on what you and your kid want them to do the best in. According to the National Home Education Research Institute, homeschoolers score 15% to 30% higher on tests than students in public school do. So, if you and your kid want them to have better test results, homeschooling would do just wonders. If you and your kid's choice is in better

communication skills and interaction with others, public school is the best option. Were you ever homeschooled before covid? How did it feel? Did you enjoy it? Let me know your thoughts below!
