Ten Reasons to Home School Teens

Ten Reasons to Home School Teens
By Elizabeth Smith

  1. To Continue The Family-Building Process. The teen years are a
    strategic time to cement relationships that last a life time.
    2.
  2. To Cement Family Relationships. Relationships are the most important thing in family life. When teens are away from home six-to-eight hours a day, subtle changes begin to erode relationships at home.
    3.
  3. To Provide An Excellent Learning Environment. The tutorial method is the most effective way to learn. At home, academics have priority, and there are no classroom distractions.
    4.
  4. To Individualize Education. You can customize your teen's education around his/her needs and abilities.
    5.
  5. To Accelerate Academic Progress. Available data demonstrates that home-schooled children are ahead of the public schools in maturity, socialization, and vocabulary.
    6.
  6. To Have Direct Influence Over Peer Relationships. Peer influence is one of the greatest threats to the parent/child relationship.
    7.
  7. To Protect From Pressure To Conform. Even young people trained in a Christian home will feel strong pressure from the worldliness of schools.
    8.
  8. To Maintain Flexibility. Family plans, work, study, service, ministry, field trips, and vacation can work together.
    9.
  9. To Promote Safety And Health. Schoolrooms are simply unsafe environments for children. Drugs and violence are escalating on campuses across America.
    10.
  10. To Allow God To Show Himself Strong Toward Our Families. II Chron 16:9 “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth to shew himself strong in behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.”
    My Addition!
    11.
  11. To Escape the Uninformed Tyranny of Some School Boards!
    ONE NATION UNDER GOD?
    Can you imagine the shock parents must have felt upon learning
    their children in Madison, Wisconsin, were not allowed to give a
    “Pledge of Allegiance” to the flag or to sing the national anthem.
    What sheer idiocy! Is it never enough? This erosion of respect and love for our country by misguided educators in a position of trust over our children must stop.
    12.

My complements to the citizens of Madison who after a marathon
public hearing lasting until 1:30 a.m. saw a reversal of this
decision.

The above is just one more example why many parents are choosing to
home school as a matter of conscience as well as education.
Needless to say, I was angered for those families and children and
thankful to be part of the Home School movement.
