speedy progress due to small class size . . . just your child or childrenThe benefits of schooling at home is laudable. But then you have to weigh this against the disadvantages. The key disadvantages of home school are . . .
| inability of students schooling at home to develop their social skills because they don't have the opportunity to mix with a diverse school populationrisk of students becoming straight-jacketed because of over-exposure to a controlled lifestyle and risk of students having withdrawal symptoms when they have to face the real world later in life The arguments against schooling at home essentially revolves around the social impact of this system. |

| Many Nigerians just don't have the financial capability to support this system. Hence, they opt for a formal school for their kids. And those who have the means, do not wish to go through the hassles of creating a system at home that is already in place in school. Nevertheless, there is a version of home schooling that is gaining ground in Nigeria. This is often referred to as private teacher or private lessons. |
In this case, parents employ private teachers who come to the home after school hours and help the kids out with their homework or school assignments.
These private teachers also teach the kids stuff way beyond what they learn in school and thereby give these kids an edge over their classmates.
It is customary too for these private home teachers to take the home students through the entire school curriculum to help them grasp the concepts better and ingrain it in their memory.
This is the popular technique used in Lagos Nigeria and everywhere else in the country. And believe me, it works.
