How Do I Choose Between Public School and Homeschooling?
With the COVID-19 virus still active, and online learning having its issues, a number of parents are choosing to homeschool their kids. Here are some considerations if you’re deciding which to do:
Public Schools
Pros:
The schedule is provided, and you know what is expected.
Technology is provided
The teacher knows what they are teaching your child each day.
Cons:
Technology doesn’t always work as planned
What if they are in hybrid and the school gets put back in quarantine?
What if your child gets sick? Or brings the Covid virus home and makes a family member ill?
Homeschooling
Pros:
You make your own schedule.
You control your child’s screen time
You tailor the curriculum to your individual children
You can change what you need to teach as the opportunity arises.
Cons:
You really are responsible for everything.
If you get sick, Who is going to step up to teach, cook, etc.
Trying to find help/advice at this time may be a more difficult.
