An increasing number of parents go for homeschooling their children, as numerous studies have confirmed that home-educated students outperform their publicly-run school peers by 30 to 37 percentile points across all subjects (see academic findings). When parents consider the possibility of homeschooling, some pros and cons have to be taken into account. Ask MetaFilter digs into the topic with parents’ precious experience and discussion. If you consider homeschooling, the site might help you to think through and plan well. If you have any experience or opinion, feel free to share in the comments or email me to share with other parents.
