Giving
Your Child a Head Start
The top 4 reasons that nearly 2 million
parents home school are:
# 1 Academic – Can do better at home,
School’s poor learning environment, School’s not
challenging and child has special needs
# 2 State curriculum – religious,
character/morality, more control over the curriculum, not
challenging
# 3 Student behavior problems – unclear
whether it is their child’s behavior or another’s child
-i.e. school bully, etc.
# 4 Flexibility/ other – family
reasons, other problems with available schools, parent’s
career
