Deciding whether to home school children or to enrol them into a mainstream school can be a difficult decision. First becoming popular in the 1970’s, the number of children learning at home is increasing each year.
Today’s mainstream establishments cannot always provide for the educational needs of certain children resulting in increased levels of stress and anxiety. The increased social pressures, large classroom sizes and possible bullying can also contribute to this. Home schooling provides a relaxed environment, catering to a child’s individual needs.
