Why is Homework Important?

Why is Homework Important? The case laid out above might seem to seal the deal on the argument, as it does offer valid arguments, but facts and statistics are hard to come by when the educational system varies across the country as much as it does. However, there are many teachable aspects of homework that are often looked over in the rhetoric against the assignments. Here are 10 reasons why homework is important to student success: Helps build responsibility.  Some current buzzwords and phrases in the educational community are all about making students accountable and taking ownership of their learning.

Learning Styles

Learning Styles Homeschoolers have the same challenge as any teacher; how to teach children according to the ways they best learn. One popular approach to helping children grasp educational material most effectively and retain that information is through understanding the child's learning style, or approach to learning. Learning styles have been the basis for best-practice teaching within the public school arena for many years, and are featured in the most popular homeschooling literature, including Cathy Duffy's  100 Top Picks for Homeschool Curriculum , Mary Pride's  Complete Guide to Getting Started in Homeschooling , and many others. There are a number of different learning styles, but the three most prominent are: Visual  - Learn through seeing. Tend to think in terms of pictures, and use visual cues to organize and retain information. Auditory  - Learn by hearing. Need to talk through things and hear things verbally to process information. Kinesthetic  - L

What About Homeschool Socialization?

Home education is not public school   What About Homeschool Socialization? It's often the first question out of the mouths of non-homeschoolers. For homeschoolers, it's the question they wish they never had to hear again. As a new parent with homeschooling friends almost 2 decades ago, I asked it. As a homeschooler with young children in an area where homeschooling was prevalent,  I had pat answers. As a more experienced homeschooler with a wider exposure to people in many geographic and social settings, I wanted to take a second look at the question of socialization with some input from another experienced homeschooler,  so·cial·ize: 1 : to make social; especially  :  to fit or train for a social environment 2a : to constitute on a socialistic basis <socialize industry> b : to adapt to social needs or uses 3 : to organize group participation in <socialize a recitation> What do you want socialization to look like for your child? Ultimately that will answer the "

what about homeschool socialization? Helping Young Children To build 21st Century Skills - is your child being bullied Home education is not a public school at home Home education is not public school at home. It is a completely different way of thinking about education, and a completely different way of approaching education. It is teaching tailored specifically to individual children rather than according to a standardized set of guidelines or curriculum for the masses. And because of this individualization, home education is effective by virtue of the fact that it does not have to look like the public school classways How is it different? Here are just a few of the ways: 1. Standardized "periods" of learning (45 minutes, 90 minutes, etc.) based on organized schedules for managing large numbers of students can be exchanged for flexible periods of learning based on the individual student's needs. For example, if Johnny is ADHD and cannot sit for long periods
