With schools closing and requiring e-learning, millions of parents have decided to take their child’s education into their own hands. Parents who said they would never homeschool their kids are finding that it might actually be the best option. Many parents don’t realize there are advantages to homeschooling. Let’s look over the main benefits of homeschooling on our list below; read on to learn more.
Flexibility
The biggest advantage of homeschooling is its flexibility for both parents and students. Many people work full or part-time jobs with designated work hours; homeschooling gives you the flexibility to have class around your work schedule. You also have academic flexibility when homeschooling. In other words, you can cater exactly to what your child needs. Your child won’t feel overwhelmed trying to keep up with other students, as they can work at their own pace.
Little To No Homework
Unlike public and private schools, your children won’t be coming home with hours worth of homework to do. Instead, thanks to homeschooling’s flexibility, your child can get most (if not all) of their work done during their regular school hours. You’ll be able to spend more time with your children doing the things you want to do.
Customizable Curriculum
Everyone has opinions about the topics that their children learn in school. When homeschooling, you have control over what your child learns. Also, you can manage activities that many schools have done away with, such as art, music, and dance. Furthermore, parents can learn how to teach their kids about patriotism, as so many schools no longer recite the pledge of allegiance.
These are just a few of the main benefits of homeschooling. Parents also enjoy homeschooling because they spend more time with their kids; in fact, most parents find that they learn alongside their kids. The most significant advantage of homeschooling may be the opportunity to develop a stronger relationship with your children.

I totally agree with this!
I myself, is a mother of 2 kids enrolled in the home school program of http://www.georgia.edu.ph for preschool in the Philippines. Homeschooling is very effective and helpful since I am also considering my time since I am also a working mother. Hats off, Irish twins mommy!
