Misconceptions

Let's Clear Some Misconceptions Here....

For any homeschoolers out there, you can probably relate with me. Almost all of us (talking about the homeschoolers) have been confronted by people who have a certain idea about this way of schooling. Majority of is not accurate. So lets clear a few things up, shall we...

One thing people think is that people who do school online don't get to interact with other people. In most people's cases this is not true. See for me, I interact with many people despite the fact that I am a homeschooler. There are many ways that a homeschooler can interact with people like: being in a youth group, attending extra curricular activities, taking dual credit(for high schoolers), being in a scouting program, being in a homeschooling group, or even by meeting with friends on the weekends.

Another thing that people assume is that homeschoolers don't have a communication with a teacher. Again, for most people this is not true. See the amount of interaction all depends on what curriculum you follow. If you are a student of lets say, "Connections Academy", you have a video call with your class and teachers once a week. Plus, you can even call or email your teacher if you need more one-on-one help. But, do you know that in regular school you do not get as much one-on-one attention with your teacher as you do in an online school. Just think about it. You are in a class of 20 students, how easy do you think it is for your teacher to focus on one particular student.

I hope this clears up a few things in relation to homeschooling. This post is not to say one way is better than the other (just keep that in mind).

Have An Amazing Day!
