Parental School Involvement is a Plus

Parents usually ask themselves if home schooling actually works, or if public schools are such a problem. Parents are reasonably cautious when considering something as important as their children’s’ learning environment. While homeschool and public school focuses on education, the right parental involvement can provide positive effect on a child.

Parents have limited involvement with their children at public school.

In this case, A father was homeschooling his oldest son. He and his wife have not always homeschooled their son, even though they did not originally set out to do so. they homeschooled their oldest son for two years, the years he was in public schools caused parent to be mindful of other options of appropriate education for their son. He was in public school from 1st to 9th grade. They thought they had legitimate reasons for their decision, to wait a little longer to take their son out of public school and thought they could counter any challenging social issues they received along the way. They were naive.

The son was also classified as “gifted;” however, public schools teach to the average and so he spent a lot of time with nothing to do. On the contrary, Home School allows the freedom to explore and learn at the pace of the individual student.

Their son also had a bladder issue that made him have serious urgency to use the restroom without really much notice. The parent explained the issue with his teacher, who was sympathetic, and who told their son that he could dash out whenever he needed to. The teacher was quite compassionate. However, their son did not like the attention created by his bathroom needs, and so he often waited when he really should have run to the restroom. This waiting in fact made the issue worse, because it led to bladder spasms. The result was wet pants, more social attention, and greater hesitance on his part to just run to the bathroom when the urge struck. It was a vicious cycle of humiliation for him.

Since the parent was aware of the bladder problem Homeschool would have alleviate the son humiliation.

Moreover, the son somehow struggled with making healthy social choices by associating with negative kids. The father had talk at length about his school experiences, and he seemed to voice agreement with his father guidance, but his actions away from home were inconsistent with their discussions. The parent felt that public school at this point was out of their control to help their son.

The father learned that negative parental involvement can hinder their Childs’ leaning ability. Whenever a child commits a mistake or lack mannerisms, it is noticed that the blame is mostly put on the parents. The parents are also in no position to correct their children if they themselves are in the habit negative acts too. Public schools have some bad teachers therefore parents have to be wise of how they deal with them. Parents should not be fighters or indulge in inappropriate physical contact or berating the teachers in front of the child. The child must know that their teacher should be highly respected, that too is a sign of a good parenting. Nevertheless, incompetent teachers can be totally avoidable in a homeschool environment the parent is the teacher, principal and superintendent. Similarly, it is very important for both public and home school parents to be a good example for the child to follow. In short, there are several signs and effects of negative parenting. Many kids lose self-esteem or develop bad habits or feel inhibited for the rest of their lives. Parenting is a continuous job and the children rely on parents for the same. So make it a point to take time out for children, teach them the correct mannerisms and correct them when they do wrong. When parents neglect the set rules and boundaries for children in the public school it is only natural for the kids to become brats or display unacceptable behavior in public school.

The right parental involvement can empower our children to achieve greatness.

With this in mind, the father experience of pubic and home school has given him a few insights of them both: Parents are a child’s first teachers and role models. They are responsible for shaping up the child’s behavior and implementing positive values in them. Children listen, observe and imitate their parents. So it is important that they should be good role models the kids would want to follow. Parent has to practice what she/he preaches to expect the child to follow it. There is no doubt that Parenting is one of the most difficult and demanding tasks in the World. It requires continuous learning and sacrifices to be a good parent. Therefore, home school would be the answers to highly involve parent. In contrast, the public schools reduce the time spent with their children tremendously. Therefore, to raise well-behaved and responsible children one should be willing to invest a considerable amount of time, patience and energy. In short, homeschooling would have a positive effect on a child by the child observing more of their parent positive attitudes and behaviors in front of the child. Parents that spend more time with their children help their families develop and bond closer together. Apart from parents, children also learn from their Teachers and surroundings. Parents should choose wisely whom their children associates with. It is advisable that parents keep their kids away from those with negative behaviors as they can be of influence to the kid.

Finally, one thing that should be noted there is no perfect solution in this matter. The father explained that concerned parents involved in their children's education and moral values will always produce better results regardless of the method they take. Since, home school allow more time involvement therefore, enough cases exist, to account for even genuinely interested parents; and the final answer remains that home schooling is the best choice a parent can make.
