Homeschooling produces achievers
And I quote:
Think of people like Christopher Paolini, best-selling author of the fantasy series Eragon. Or Tim Tebow, star quarterback in the US National Football League (NFL) and the first college sophomore to win the Heisman trophy at the age of 20, and American Idol Season 11 finalist and diva-in-the-making Jessica Sanchez. All of them are homeschooled individuals who have excelled in their respective fields apart from getting the necessary academic knowledge.
Though being an achiever is not our main purpose, this article just reinforces our decision to take the road less travelled. . .
“The inherent advantage of homeschooling is the one-on-one teaching provided by the parent.” - DepEd Assistant Secretary Tonisito Umali
“It is not education that will give our children worth, it is we the parents.” - Bo Sanchez
Another benefit that homeschooling provides is a relaxed, nurturing learning environment that is more attuned to the student’s personality. Whereas schools tend to cater to the “class average,” homeschooling can be tailored to the needs and wants of the individual learner. With this, parents are able to focus on their child’s unique gifts and develop them to their full potential.
...and may I say, AMEN to this!
And let me end by sharing this cartoon strip. . .
