Home schooling has been basis of society for thousands of years - long before schools came about. However, in today's society it can be difficult for parent's to maintain supervision of assignments that is needed for home schooling. This may become even more of an issue as a child gets into higher grades and parents are unfamiliar with curriculum or are working and do not have as much time to assist them.

INTERNET HOME SCHOOLING

A new addition to education, internet is now providing ability for parents to give their child an enhanced curriculum, control over education, and online support. This will all cost much less than private school at an average cost of $900 per year.

Older children can benefit from online teachers who are able to supervise work - a huge benefit for working or single parents. Many accredited Internet schools offer similar courses to those available in private schools.

Joel Turtel, who is author of "Public Schools, Public Menace: How Public Schools Lie To Parents and Betray Our Children," says that busy working parents can give their kids a quality, low-cost education at home using Internet. “K-12th grade Internet schools can take most of homeschooling burden off parent's backs.”
