Oh my! I homeschool my son for one reason and one reason only…he is getting an education!! We have only been doing it for 2 years and I began it due to the fact my 5th grader could barely write!! (We are in CA) I was appalled and now? Yippee he is getting A”s and B’s, he dies to hear his grades now we are both so happy, I suggest to any and everyone with children you will learn about yourself and new things from your kids. My son now will write at the drop of a hat he does my lists for me willingly, the improvement in his self esteem and over-all presence is amazing. Parents need to take charge of their kids education if they are able no matter what country, district, state or wherever—”The Future is Our Children” and now I have more hope than ever!!

I think it’s so sad that children in Europe are being homeschooled simply because they have been bullied in school. However, I think both students and parents will find there are many other benefits to homeschooling, besides not having to worry about other children’s behaviors. Homeschooling allows the student to work at their own pace and concentrate more on their abilities and interests. It also gives the parent much more control over their child’s development and schooling. I hope that parents in America will choose these reasons to homeschool their children, and that they are not forced to do so because their child is being bullied.

Wow. I had no idea that bullying was such a huge problem in Europe. Homeschooling is certainly the better option for kids whose learning is being stifled by troubled kids.
