What is the difference between homeschooling and traditional schools?
Homeschooling provides the flexibility that traditional schools cannot offer. In general, parents decide to homeschool when their child has particular needs that cannot be accommodated within a traditional school such as a busy sports schedule where they cannot attend a traditional school for months on end, or where the learner needs dedicated attention and larger school classes cannot accommodate this.
