Homeschooling 1

Running head: HOMESCHOOLING

The Downside of Homeschooling
Manuel, Ysabelle L
...
In fact about two million children in
the United States are homeschooled
...
Since
children who are enrolled in a home study program seldom feel the pressure of waking
up early, hanging out with peers, and going outside to explore; do you think that
homeschooling lessen the chances of children to be able to explore and communicate
effectively with others, and only puts up a big wall in achieving a certain goal? From
past time until now, a lot of research papers that have been done are all about the
positive effects of homeschooling, but this paper will explain the downside of
homeschooling with supporting statements from other articles, scholarly journals,
journals, books, and graduate theses
...
Just like when enrolling one’s child under the
home study program, what are the effects that it could bring to the child? This research
paper will further explain and support the answers on why homeschool enrolled children
lack outside activities, the ability to be able to enhance their physical body and
communication skills
...
More than 33% of
children in the U

...
That statistics is based on both homeschool and
regularly enrolled children; if regularly enrolled children who walks to and from school
are at risk of obesity, then what does that do to homeschool enrolled children? The
physical activities of children who are homeschooled is already reduced because “A kid
who’s homeschooled doesn’t have the convenience of school facilities, such as a
gymnasium, science lab
...
Two-thirds of the
daily walk needed is achieved when one walks one mile from and to school (Quick
Facts and Stats, n
...
, para 2); considering that homeschool enrolled children do not
need to walk, then their physical activity will be further cut down
...
This is their time to be interested in sports and other outdoor activities;
however, homeschooling may cause all those interests to wither
...

Most parents of children enrolled under the home study program prioritize the quality of
education that their child/children will be able to receive, because of that reasoning
physical development becomes a low priority
...
Just like when playing basketball or soccer, one must have

a good stamina so that one can be able to keep up with the game
...
A homeschool enrolled child also does not have a time allotted for
physical education or recess, even if one has, the enthusiasm or excitement of doing it
with peers or classmates would not be the same as when doing it alone
...
d
...

Parents of homeschool enrolled children may be proficient in academic subject
matters but might have inadequate skills or have less attention when it comes to
teaching physical education or vice versa (Schaben, 2004, p
...
At the same time some
teachers in private/public schools are also not that adept at what they are doing, but
because of the manpower at the school, which means more teachers, children/students
can ask other teachers about the particular subject matter he/she needs help in and
he/she can do this in all the subjects he/she is taking up on that school year
...
One must remember that learning is not
just a “read a book and you are good to go” basis, learning considers its surroundings
too
...
Since children who are homeschooled rarely encounter problems with their

Homeschooling 5

peers, then bumping into one might be a problem for them
...
When the time comes that children do not need any guidance from
their parents anymore, those experiences will come in handy because “As the child is
exposed to bullies and peer pressure, children learn how to interact with peers and
problem solve, which is similar to the experiences they may encounter in the ‘real world’
“(Ricardo, 2014, p
...
Social isolation can also be encountered when one is home
schooled
...
20)
...
At home, parents are mainly in control of their children’s action;
so if the parent(s) decided for their children not to talk on a certain individual then they
can do that because of the great control they have (Ricardo, 2014, p
...
As Dr

” (Ricardo, 2014, p
...

Homeschool children need to fulfill all those three with limited help because those things
are being compressed in a limited setting, which is at home
...
4)
...
There are other options such as
consulting the guidance counselor for help and other school officials
...
Homeschooling is a big decision that has a long term effect
...
5)
...
Basically
homeschooling limits the children’s social and physical activities, due to those
limitations isolation typically can’t be avoided
...
Lack of exposure from the outside world
makes the child’s social ability in adequate
...
Children enrolled under the
home study program are less likely to be into sports due to poor exposure to their
physical build
...
Homeschooling is now one of the options parents consider when enrolling their
children
...
In enrolling one’s child
under the home study program, parents must really focus on their child to be able to
somehow avoid the negative effects of homeschooling like isolation, less peer
orientation, and lack of physical activities
...
Homeschooling is a
careful process and is always an open option, but should homeschooling really be
considered just as how traditional schooling is being considered?
