This book was released on 2020-11-13 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Home education is the fastest growing educational movement in the world, yet the research remains limited on why and how it has become so popular. As more and more families seek to homeschool, it is imperative that further studies are undertaken to understand how students’ lives are impacted, as well as the challenges and opportunities that arise from this method of schooling. Global Perspectives on Home Education in the 21st Century is an edited collection that focuses on the major factors behind the global rise of the home education movement and explores many of the current issues faced in relation to homeschooling. The book examines key themes that include parents’ and children’s experiences of home education, how and why families choose to home educate, and what happens to home educated children once they are finished. Including topics such as unschooling, self-directed learning, willed learning, and holistic education, this book is primarily intended for home educators, school administrators, policymakers, researchers, academicians, and students.

Download or read book Homeschooling in the 21st Century written by Robert Maranto and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-18 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education began on the most intimate levels: the family and the community. With industrialization, education became professionalized and bureaucratized, typically conducted in schools rather than homes. Over the past half century, however, schooling has increasingly returned home, both in the United States and across the globe. This reflects several trends, including greater affluence and smaller family size leading parents to focus more on child well-being; declining faith in professionals (including educators); and the Internet, whose resources facilitate home education. In the United States, students who are homeschooled for at least part of their childhood outnumber those in charter schools. Yet remarkably little research addresses homeschooling. This book brings together work from 20 researchers, addressing a range of homeschooling topics, including the evolving legal and institutional frameworks behind home education; why some parents make this choice; home education educational environments; special education; and outcomes regarding both academic achievement and political tolerance. In short, this book offers the most up-to-date research to guide policy makers and home educators, a matter of great importance given the agenda of the current presidential administration. The chapters in this book were originally published as articles in the Journal of School Choice.

We'll review several differing approaches to education that incorporate some of the solutions listed earlier.Passion-driven education The best way to educate a child is to speak to them in a language they already understand, using their personal interests as a "hook" to make other subjects interesting and relevant.

Book excerpt: Today's children will reach adulthood in an economic environment unlike anything the world has ever seen. The 21st century global economy is powered by an increasing rate of technological change as well as growing foreign competition; both are contributing to the high U.S. unemployment rate and stagnating American wages. How can we as parents prepare our children for success in this growing maelstrom that many are now calling "the new normal"? In "Thriving in the 21st Century: Preparing Our Children for the New Economic Reality," Barbara Frank demonstrates that we must move beyond the common wisdom of the 20th century that emphasized a college diploma and lifelong employment with a large company as the only way to success. Instead, we need to set our children on a new path, one that will help them not just survive, but thrive in the 21st century. In this book, you'll learn: The Seven Strengths your child will need to prosper in the 21st century, why they're needed and how you can develop them in your children The most efficient (and increasingly popular) way to give your child those Seven Strengths Why public education has failed to prepare our children for the 21st century How we can help our children become the lifelong learners needed in a rapidly changing global economy The surprising truth about today's colleges and universities How economic change is affecting a variety of career areas, and which of them are projected to grow dramatically in the coming years. This book is packed with ideas and resources for raising our children to become adults who respond proactively when faced with economic challenges, and who can prosper during times of great change. We can help our children reach young adulthood ready and able to tackle the future with all its challenges. And that, of course, is the key: we must prepare our children for the future...not the past.

Download or read book What Is Homeschooling Why Children Should Always Be Homeschooled 100 Of The Time And The Benefits Of Children Being Homeschooled written by Dr. Harrison Sachs and published by The Epic Books Of Dr. Harrison Sachs. This book was released on 2024-05-18 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay sheds light on what is homeschooling, explicates why children should always be homeschooled 100% of the time, and demystifies the benefits of children being homeschooled. Succinctly stated, homeschooling refers to providing an education to children in a home setting. In the 21st century, homeschooling is perceived as being an unconventional form of education. The homeschool graduation requirements that children are expected to fulfill can vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. As of May of 2024, certain jurisdiction, for instance, may mandate children to pass standardized tests to fulfill homeschool graduation requirements. The homeschool curriculum requirements can also vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Homeschooling children does not need to always entail children following a structured curriculum, but rather can involve children being at liberty to choose the niche topics that they want to learn about. The homeschool lesson requirements can also vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Homeschooling children also does not need to always entail parents furnishing lessons to their children, but rather can involve children engaging in learning activities on their own, such as by watching educational videos, watching factual documentaries, reading informational articles, listening to informative podcast episodes, and reading insightful books. Since children are capable of learning information on their own by engaging in learning activities, they do not need to necessarily need to be lectured to about niche topics by a teacher in order to learn information. It is eminently beneficent for children to embrace being autodidacts from a tender age since it can expedite the process of them achieving learning outcomes. If children become dependent on being lectured to about niche topics by a teacher in order to learn information, then it can culminate in them taking longer to achieve learning outcomes. Homeschooling children furnishes children with latitude for flexibility to achieve learning outcomes. Homeschooling children is also able to provide children with the opportunity for them to avail themselves of personalized learning experiences in which they choose how to learn information. By being able to choose optimum ways to learn information that are optimally tailored to their learning preferences, children can more expeditiously achieve learning outcomes. Homeschooling children can also provide children with the opportunity to learn information by engaging in pragmatic learning experiences. By applying information amid their pragmatic learning experiences, children render themselves more apt to learn information since doing so can help them to convert the applied information into knowledge. Homeschooling children can render it possible for children to have a unique educational experience. Homeschooling children can render people at a higher probability to become highly knowledgeable, highly competent, and highly adept industry experts in their niche fields at a tender age. It stands to preponderantly reason that children should be homeschooled 100% of the time since doing so can cause them to circumvent succumbing to early life slavery which is the utmost deleterious form of modern slavery. The practice of slavery in any form is inhumane, immoral, reprehensible, and unvindicated. Even though all forms of slavery should be abolished, modern slavery is inapt to ever be abolished. By homeschooling their children, a parent circumvents having their children sentenced to a 13 year, insalubrious, K-12 compulsory concentration camp. By homeschooling their children, a parent also renders their children all the more poised to have successful careers. By homeschooling their children, a parent also renders their children all the more primed to expeditiously achieve desirable learning outcomes. The mandate to attend the 13 year, K-12 compulsory concentration camp that is imposed against people against their own volition is ineffably inhumane, is the utmost pernicious form of modern slavery, and should be abolished. People should have purview over how their precious time is earmarked and their right to liberty should never be encroached on. In a 13 year, insalubrious, K-12 compulsory concentration camp, a person’s inalienable right to liberty is severely encroached on in all facets.
