Teach Us At Home

The parents are always worried that their child is doing less than their counterparts who go to school. The parents are always at the back of the child to open their books and study.
The home school has flexible hours and you can take it any time. But it is always better to stick to their schedules once made and this teaches the children to be punctual in their work and the parent thinks that since the other children are at school the child studying at home also need to study and be with the books. But they need to understand that the children at school also have time to enjoy and they waste so much time traveling to school and back.

So actually they are not giving enough time to their studies.

Try to work with a set pattern and make child understand that he/she is needed to sit from this time to this time and study. The time can be anything between 2 to 4 hours. Try to make the studies fun and let the child enjoy and learn many things outside the books. The subject you are going to teach the child also will determine the time set for studies.

If the subject you are teaching the child is new it may take a little bit more time to
teach. The teaching can be made fun by using the practicalities of the subject. If you are
teaching the children science you can show them the birds, bees etc which will be easier to follow for the child.

Home school is not just sitting in front of the books and mugging everything it is more
of fun when you can take the children for field trips and make them watch the videos of what you are trying to teach them or taking them to the library for searching on some subject. In the morning you can reserve some hours for studying from the books and then in the afternoon once a week you can take them out for different activities.

As already discussed the regular school hours are not packed with studies all the time
and there is lots of wastage of time and you cannot measure the studies you are about to
teach the children in home schooling.

Since the home schooling children are more exposed to the practical aspect of the studies
and not only book reading they are more smarter than the regular school going children.
