Introduction

This book will look at homeschooling from two perspectives. It will show how homeschooling affects both teachers and students. I will show that there are both pros and cons to homeschooling.

Though it is not for everyone, there are ways that homeschooling can support certain types of students. Students can work at their own pace and explore subject areas that interest them in depth.

However, they may also feel separated from peers. In addition, homeschooling is a lot of work for parents and guardians. It requires a lot of resources.

The book will also attempt to answer questions about homeschooling. For example, what is it like to learn outside of a traditional classroom? What does a student gain? And what might they lose? What do classroom teachers think of homeschooling? And how are parents and guardians affected? These and other difficult questions will be considered throughout the text.
