Contrary to common perception, homeschooled children also tend to gain better social skills, emotional awareness, and self-esteem via the one-to-one interaction and a more enjoyable learning experience.

Parents of homeschooled children also tend to enroll them in sports, martial arts, scouts, etc., so they gain experience in group interactions and spend enough time with other children outside the home.

In that sense, the children can get the best of both worlds.

There are, of course, advantages and disadvantages to both homeschooling and regular schooling. Although homeschooling is a better way if done correctly, it won't be for everyone.

I don't homeschool myself due to an extensive workload, and my youngest daughter likes being at school. That's fine. If things were different, I would make time for it.

My main point is that either form of schooling can work very well if the student is using the learning principles of how we learn best, whether at school or while studying at home.

Many famous individuals have been homeschooled. Here are some of the most notable ones that we have heard of:

1. Thomas Edison: The American inventor and businessman (known for his contributions to developing the electric light bulb and the phonograph).

2. Albert Einstein: The renowned physicist (famous for his theory of relativity).

3. Leonardo da Vinci: The Italian polymath (known for his contributions to art, science, and engineering).

4. Agatha Christie: The English writer (widely regarded as the queen of crime).

5. Benjamin Franklin: The American polymath, statesman, and inventor (known for his electricity experiments and role in drafting the U.S. Constitution).

6. Serena and Venus Williams: The world-famous tennis players were homeschooled to fit around their intensive training schedule.

7. Tim Tebow: The former professional American football quarterback (who became known for his college football career and Christian faith).

8. Laura Ingalls Wilder: The author of the beloved "Little House on the Prairie" series (based on her childhood experiences).

9. Woodrow Wilson: The 28th President of the United States, who led the country during World War I (he was homeschooled in his early years).

10. C.S. Lewis: The British writer and theologian (best known for his fantasy series "The Chronicles of Narnia").

One-to-one homeschooling is where the child gets personalised education and the full attention of one tutor or teacher. It's one of the main benefits of homeschooling.

Here are some popular one-to-one homeschooling methods:

1. Tutoring:

Hiring a private tutor specialising in a specific subject. They will ideally cater the curriculum to the student's strengths and weaknesses.

2. Online learning platforms:

Many platforms offer one-to-one instruction and connect the students with qualified tutors who will work with the student individually.

3. Virtual schools:

These schools provide one-to-one instruction from certified teachers with personalised guidance.

4. Homeschool co-ops:

Parents take turns teaching specialised subjects to a small group of students. This method allows for one-to-one instruction while facilitating social interaction with their peers.

5. Individualized curriculum:

This is a more tailored version of one-to-one teaching. The curriculum is also designed around students' interests, learning styles, and aims.

6. Dual enrollment:

Students can enroll in college courses while still at school, which is helpful for advanced education in specific subjects and allows for one-to-one interaction with college professors.

7. Mentoring and apprenticeships:

Pairing a student with a mentor or expert in a field of interest gives them one-to-one instruction and a hands-on learning experience.

All of these methods can be useful. The type of one-to-one teaching that will work best will depend on the parents' and students' needs and wants.

OTO teaching is helpful, mainly if applied with self-expression and feedback models.

Homeschooling can be positive or negative for the student's health. It depends on how the routine is applied. The benefits of homeschooling and removing drawbacks come from knowledge of how to do it and then planning accordingly.

Here are some factors to consider:

Homeschooling allows parents and children complete control over their daily routines so that they can optimise their exercise, sleep, nutritious meals, breaks, etc. However, because homeschooling involves more time indoors, active movement is essential as part of the plan.

Homeschooling helps to provide a supportive and nurturing environment for the child. It is also away from the pressures and stress of the traditional school system where kids can feel herded and have to deal with other problematic students not being catered for well enough at home or school.

Homeschooled children will also benefit from the one-on-one interaction with the teacher.

Social isolation is a concern if parents don't enroll the child in other outside groups for sports, hobbies, martial arts or scouts, etc. Spending fun time with friends gained from these activities also needs to be encouraged.

Homeschooling allows more personalised instruction along the lines of methods that are far more stimulating for the child's development.

Parents can tailor the curriculum more to the interests and learning style of the student.

These factors will benefit their motivation, engagement, and cognitive progression.

However, the curriculum will need to be well-rounded and provide exposure to many subjects, activities, and experiences.

This mental stimulation can also be engaged in regular schooling if done correctly, taught to the student, and monitored by the parents. It is just easier to do with homeschooling.

Homeschooling allows for flexibility in scheduling which helps the child and the parents find the best routine for them.

However, it must be well structured to maintain a healthy balance between schoolwork and other activities.

There is significant parental involvement in homeschooling, which can have positive and negative effects on parents. It increases the bond with the child, and parents have far more control, reward, and awareness of how their child is doing academically and are more able to influence it.

However, the responsibility and extra time involved can increase the stress workload on parents. Experienced homeschoolers advise parents to put all the resources in place to make the process as smooth and successful as possible and seek advice and support when needed.

It can then become normalised over time.
