Homeschooling can be great, but it requires tremendous effort and indirect cost on the part of the parents. The benefits to the child can be immense, but those benefits are not guaranteed. Home schooling primarily outshines regular classroom education because it is not an institutional/industrial approach to education, but fully personalized on using a direct tutorial method. It continually looks for true understanding, offers concrete (rather than abstract) context where needed, gives a child a break or diversion when the child has hit his limit for the day, and so on. The result is more comfortable, more fun, and more successful for the child, not to mention more efficient than classroom instruction. We found that we could accomplish in about two hours per day what takes all day in a classroom. (Not counting recreational reading. Recreational reading?! Yes, recreational reading.)
