Positive Influences.

Parents are with their children all day.
Children are allowed to mature at their own speeds, no "hurried child" syndrome.
Parents know and understand their children and are influential in their lives, even as they enter the teen years.
Homeschooling prevents premature parent-child separation, avoiding inappropriate pressure on children.
Parents and other adults are the primary role models for homeschooled children.
A child's natural thirst for learning is nurtured, not squelched, and learning becomes a lifelong joy.
Each child's education can be tailored to his or her unique interests, pace, and learning style.
Homeschoolers enjoy unlimited educational resources; the world is our classroom, and resources abound in the community.
Homeschooling children have time to pursue their special interests and talents.
Homeschooling provides a high adult/child ratio for the student.
Homeschooled children become independent thinkers who are secure in their own convictions.
Homeschooling provides positive and appropriate socialization with peers and adults.
Homeschooled children are largely free from peer pressure.
Homeschooled children are comfortable interacting with people of all ages.
Family life revolves around its own needs and priorities rather than the demands of school.
Homeschooling creates/maintains positive sibling relationships.
Homeschooling promotes good communication and emotional closeness within a family.
Homeschooled children view adults as an integrated part of their world and as natural partners in learning.
Research shows that the two most important factors in reading and overall educational success are positive home influence and parental involvement; homeschooling provides both.
Family values and beliefs are central to social, emotional and academic development.
The home-educated typically score 15 to 30 percentile points above public-school students on standardized academic achievement tests. (The public school average is the 50th percentile; scores range from 1 to 99.)
Homeschool students score above average on achievement tests regardless of their parents' level of formal education or their family's household income.
Degree of state control and regulation of homeschooling is not related to academic achievement.
Homeschool students are increasingly being actively recruited by colleges.
Homeschool students are regularly engaged in social and educational activities outside their homes and with people other than their nuclear-family members. They are commonly involved in activities such as field trips, scouting, 4-H, political drives, church ministry, sports teams, and community volunteer work.
The home-educated are doing well, typically above average, on measures of social, emotional, and psychological development. Research measures include peer interaction, self-concept, leadership skills, family cohesion, participation in community service, and self-esteem.
Homeschooling is about family.
