I don’t want to give the impression that homeschooling is always easy-peasy. However, as a parent, you are committed to your child’s success and know them well. That alone gives you the upper hand.
A home environment can relieve classroom stress that comes from the struggle to sit still or keep up and understand the teacher’s instructions.
Parents can give 1:1 instruction. They’ll know immediately if their child understands a lesson or needs further instruction.
At home, parents can evaluate progress often at home and advance at the child’s pace.
Parents need a plan for how they’ll teach, but they don’t need a formal IEP.
