instead of sending them off to be formally educated in public or private schools. In the U.S. Only about three percent of children are homeschooled.

There are many reasons why some parents choose to homeschool. One reason is that some

parents do not feel their children are safe in school because of bullying(恃强凌弱). Others parents want their child’s education to be based on their religion or moral beliefs. Yet other parents feel like the education in school is not good enough. Homeschooling is also seen as a choice for families that live in rural areas, and families that travel, like actors.

There are many different ways to homeschool, and homeschooling allows parents to

customize(订制) lessons based on their children’s needs. Families can buy textbooks to use or write their own materials. Some parents who follow a philosophy(信条) called unschooling, which allows a child to determine when, and how they want to learn based on their natural curiosity(好奇心). Some worry that homeschooling means students won’t have opportunities to socialize. To

answer this worry, some families have set up cooperatives, where a group of homeschooled students will learn and play together and take part in activities that would normally happen in school like field trips and dance parties.

Being homeschooled doesn’t mean a student cannot go to college. Most colleges accept

homeschooled students. It is important, however, for parents and students to create a set of things To prove what has been learned.

My opinion on homework

Different people hold different opinions on homework. As far as I’m concerned,

proper homework is necessary for our study.

On one hand, I think that homework is necessary to reinforce what is learned in school.

And so the teachers ask our students to memorize what was discussed in class through homework. On the other hand, I believe that the point of homework is to cover material

that the class didn’t have time to get to, so the homework is to let our students learn additional things. In addition, it can help us to form study habits.

All in all, I believe that proper homework will do good to our study.
