Children who are home-schooled get more opportunities to visit outside places, such as museums and zoos, and develop artistic, musical or other skills. In more conventional schools, kids usually only go on field trips occasionally.
Home-schooling allows parents to have more control over and involvement in their children's education. Their children are more likely to learn values that are important to their family than in schools, which are often governed by a standard curriculum.
Home-schooling allows children to learn at their own pace and get special attention from their parents. They also get the opportunity to help decide what they will learn.
Kids who are home-schooled sometimes get to interact more with children of different ages than those in public and private schools because they are not separated into conventional grades. There are often activities organized for them by home-schooling groups.
Home-schooled kids often get to learn by using computers, watching videos and reading a range of books. In conventional schools, kids use textbooks in most classes.
