101 Reasons to Homeschool

Author: Jessica Parnell
03 29th, 2008

Because of my role as a homeschool consultant and evaluator, I receive many calls for information about homeschooling.  

One common struggle that parents have is determining their reasons for homeschooling.  

For some, their reasons for homeschooling are a toss-up between academics and school aggression; for others, it is a desire to raise their children in an environment that does not undermine their belief system; for still others, their reasons for homeschooling include a need to help a struggling student as well as a desire to avoid labels. 

  • We know from research and tracking (through standardized testing) that homeschoolers are better prepared academically.  
  • We know that colleges and universities often state that homeschoolers are better prepared for the rigors of college academics and that they contribute more to the school.  
  • And we know that homeschooling provides an irreplaceable avenue to really pour yourself into the lives of your precious children.
