RE: I am a full time working mom. Will homeschooling work for us?

in #education7 years ago (edited)

I could understand your intention to home school your kid who suffer from behavioral issue but is this really a good solution to you and your kid?
You mentioned that your kid is quite cooperative at home but had issues at school, so is it really your kid has a behavioral problem or is there something wrong with the school / teacher? This is my first question.
Apart from that, let's assume your kid really has some issue (I hope not), does it really good to keep him home, away from other peer groups? I am afraid that may prevent him from learning how to interact with other children, which may (or may not, I am not sure) make his situation worse?
I am no expert in children behavior and education, just sharing as a father of 2 daughters at 8 and 6.

Thanks for that @guyverckw! Really appreciated. Actually, apart from behavioral, we had to also consider the economic side as there are limited Filipino schools in our city for which the admissions are already closed, and now likewise to other international schools (apart of course to the fact that their fees are extra higher).
Right now our options are (1) stay in the same school - we still have our slot, and (2) try homeschool.

Ps- if in case we homeschool, there are homeschool coops in the community with whom we can meet and of course kids at the church. I think interactions-wise, if a child really has behavioral issues it is much better to have "controlled" peers- other kids we can choose our child can mingle with, than kids in school we (parents) don't really meet and know.
