• What is homeschooling?

    Under a state's obligatory school attendance legislation, homeschooling is an option to attending a public or private school. The compulsory school attendance law states that anyone in charge of a child between the ages of six and eighteen years old must ensure that the child attends school regularly during the full period and hours that the public or private school in which the child should be enrolled is in session, religious holidays excepted, until the end of the school term, quarter, or semester in which the child turns eighteen years old.

    Deciding to homeschool

    When a parent decides to homeschool his or her kid, the parent is responsible for ensuring that the child's educational program fits the standards listed above. The parent is also in charge of procuring instructional materials for use in the classroom. A homeschooling parent may offer instruction or delegate it to someone else.

    Typically, parents who run a home educational program are not required to have a certain level of education. Parents who homeschool their children are not needed to get a teaching qualification or license. It is the parent's or guardian's obligation to choose the curriculum that is best for his or her child.

    Active Learning

    Active learning is a type of learning where students are actively or contextually engaged in the learning process, with different levels of active learning depending on student participation. When students do something rather than merely listen, they take an active part learning. Authors analyze a number of strategies for encouraging active learning in a paper from the Association for the Study of Higher Education. They cite research that suggests that in order to learn, pupils must do more than just listen.

    They must read, write, discuss, and participate in problem-solving activities. This procedure is concerned with the three learning areas of knowledge, skills, and attitudes. This taxonomy of learning behaviors can be referred to as "the learning process's aims." Students must do higher-order thinking activities such as analysis, synthesis, and assessment in particular.
