Homeschooling

Captions available

The idea

Homeschooling is education conducted primarily at home, typically by a parent, rather than in a public or private school system.

In practice

Proponents cite student-centered pacing as an advantage; critics cite reduced peer contact as a cost the classroom setting normally supplies.

Where people slip

Students assume research shows homeschooled students uniformly lag (or lead) their schooled peers; the evidence supports neither blanket reading.
