Wynna: That's a common concern. But the reality is the exact opposite. With conventional schooling, the child develops only horizontal relationships (more or less same age, same nationality, same religion, same level of maturity, etc.), then later on in life they are sent out into the real world and find out that the "structure" is totally different. In homeschooling, the child develops both vertical and horizontal relationships. You'll notice that they are more at ease conversing and relating with adults or kids who are older than them. Ang thinking man gud basta homeschool kay mapreso ang bata sa balay, while in fact it frees the child from the confines of the four walls of a classroom. The world is his classroom, in other words. Hehe. The parent-teacher just has to be creative, which is the greatest challenge.

This was true years ago. Fortunately, a lot of schools are reinventing themselves and pushing towards a more progressive educational experience. The school is a microcosm of the real world. Conversely, majority of the children in the world are going to schools. It's a better social experience learning with other children in school than learning with just a sibling or two. Socialization and developing bonds with others depend on the experience and the proper amount of freedom which you get from education in a school. Sharing of different genuine experiences that you get from different classmates would trump the experience in homeschooling.

Make homeschooling as an alternative or a last resort. As much as possible, genuine classroom education is best. Not sure about statistics, but in the Philippines I haven't heard of a person who had been home-schooled.

okay ra kaha ning homeschool? not that I'm thinking of home schooling my son but there's someone I know of who plans to. I think there would be a big difference sa upbringing sa home schooled students compared to those who are sent to public or private schools. I mean, we go to school to learn new things and at the same time we get to meet new friends.. Di kaha ni maka build og pagka anti-social or introversion sa bata?

ma miss nila ang exploration time. bsin mahimo ug cersei ug jamie.

6 homeschooling misconceptions erased - Simple Homeschool

There are a lot of homeschooling sites on the internet. Unless it is backed by published scholarly articles or theses and dissertations reviewed by peers, I would question its validity and authenticity.

Most private schools have the option to offer homeschooling as well. Go or call the Department of Education to inquire if they have a permit to operate or a certificate of recognition. We could go on and on about the advantages and disadvantages of homeschooling, but it will all end up to knowing that homeschooling is an alternative to a school based classroom education.

Yes, I agree with you. By the way, are you a homeschooling mom?

NudgeDELTA: As I thought. Well, that explains everything. There must be a funny story on how you stumbled upon this thread as well. Alas, that would bring us further out of topic. But your statement that "most private schools have the option to offer homeschooling as well" only leads me to believe that your "background" has hindered you to grasp or accept what homeschooling is.

Anyway, let me just quote the TS before things get out of hand here:

"hi everyone! ask unta ko kung unsa mga schools sa cebu nga naay homeschool programs? i appreciate it your help. thnk u!"

As expected, you don't have an argument and a point. My background is a testament and proof of my expertise in education. What about your background?

The statement is an excerpt from the DepEd Manual of Regulations 2000 and from one of the Regional Coordinators of DepEd. It is a fact that homeschooling can be an option offered by most private schools. They only need to inform the Department of Education.

This is a public service to inform parents to be vigilant. Ask the operators of these homeschooling programs for permits. There are already a lot of bogus programs operating in Cebu.

NudgeDELTA: Just trying to practice proper forum etiquette. Not the avenue for such an argument, I believe. And quite frankly, what's the point of arguing with someone as expert and as learned as yourself? Obviously, your cup is full to the brim.

But, yes, interested parents, check with a homeschool provider if they are in compliance with DepEd. Such provider is the one in the link I provided.
Bottom line is, whether it be conventional schooling, Montessori schooling, homeschooling, or whatever, the large part of nurturing, molding, and teaching a child must be the responsibility of the parents. It will all boil down to the child's relationships at home.
