Homeschooling Advantage
National Studies show that 49 percent of schools report some type of crime involving theft, vandalism or physical threats.
There are 100 times more guns in the hands of American schoolchildren than is reported.
Students age 12 to 18 were victims of 2.7 million total crimes while at school.
Over 3,000 students were expelled from school in the year 2000 for bringing a firearm to school.
What are equally as disturbing are the test scores that our children are getting on standardized tests. No Child Left Behind provided for testing all children to determine their academic performance and insure that all were getting a quality education.
The results have been disappointing. In math, our students are performing at just 3% of the world average for the same age students. In English, that percentage jumps a little, but only to 7%. Children in other countries are getting better educations than our own kids, and that will eventually hurt us globally.
These are just two reasons people cite for choosing to homeschool their children. In fact, the top five reasons given, in order are:
– God and religion taught along with academics
– Avoiding school violence
– Providing a better education
– Allowing the child to work at his or her own pace
– Family convenience
