Another of the great homeschooling advantages is the individual attention you can give your child or children. Public school teachers just cannot provide much one-on-one attention to their students, the teacher-student ratio is just too high.

Classroom curriculums in public schools are based on the average child. By definition, this means that while half the class gets ‘it’ in the alloted time frame, the rest of the class is either bored (because they got ‘it’ a long time ago) or frustrated (because they just don’t get ‘it’).

So some kids will never fully understand the material, while others get so bored they lose interest. With home schooling, your child has your individual attention (or divided amongst their siblings) and you can take 5 minutes, 5 hours, or even 5 days to work with your child until they understand the material.

So if your kid gets ‘it’ right away, there is no need to labor over the concept – just go on. If they don’t, you can try a different approach or different teaching technique, and no one else suffers.
