Some of the most common arguments people make for homeschooling are about learning in a “safe” enviroment, a flexible schedule and the ability to learn at home. But a child needs a school to see what life is like in the real world. Parents should not try to shield their kids from what goes on in schools. Although parents are trying to help their kids, they are actually hurting them by being over protective. Being exposed to what goes on in schools helps kids mature and solidify their own morals. If kids are not faced with difficult moral choices in their childhood, they will not be prepred to deal with them as an adult. Flexible schedules can also be a negitive of homeschooling, “it can be confusing for a child to be asked to go from 'play mode' to 'learning mode' in their own home” (IDEA). Unless you are very careful with how children are homeschooled they can quickly become lazy in their work and slack off because they dont feel under pressure with their own parents. Homeschooling can negatively affect a son or daughters childhood and adulthood, by not exposing them to the “real” world. In order to counter the negative effects of home schooling, states should consider instituting laws requiring all children to be exposed to a minimum number of years in a traditional learning environment.
