\nHomeschooling registrations for\u00a0children in Victoria<\/a>\u00a0in 2020 were almost four times the number of the previous year, recent reports show.<\/p>\n

Some families who had children learning from home during lockdown discovered they enjoyed spending more time together and some children found they learnt better at home. Parents may have recognised academic or social challenges for their child at school and decided to continue with homeschooling.<\/p>\n

But even\u00a0before COVID-19<\/a>, homeschooling was on the rise. If you\u2019re considering homeschooling because your child seems to do better at home, but are unsure if it\u2019s the right thing to do, here are five things to take into account.<\/p>\n

1. Homeschooling is different to remote learning<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Homeschooling is different from remote learning. Remote learning is the experience of teachers delivering the school curriculum to children at home, as was done during the recent school closures. This is more like distance education, which some families do if they live remotely, for instance.<\/p>\n

In homeschooling, parents have elected to meet their child\u2019s educational needs themselves, rather than using government or other school options.<\/p>\n

Homeschooling is legal in all states and territories in Australia but there are\u00a0differing registration and monitoring<\/a>\u00a0requirements.<\/p>\n

2. It takes a lot of time and effort<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Some parents put together a school structure at home with lesson plans and routine break times. They may employ a tutor to help with their child\u2019s education or do this themselves.<\/p>\n

Others choose to use an unstructured or \u201cunschooling\u201d learning method. This is an informal way of learning that advocates student-chosen activities rather than teacher-directed lessons.<\/p>\n

The process of developing a homeschooling routine takes time, effort and patience. Parents may be\u00a0required to submit a plan<\/a>\u00a0to their state education department, which, in most cases, should show an alignment between their child\u2019s learning and the national curriculum.<\/p>\n

Parents may have to develop or implement a full school curriculum at home without the resources available in schools.<\/p>\n

Even if parents decide to teach children in an informal way, they will need to put in significant time and effort. For example, a parent may use a trip to the shops to cover geography (the child navigating), mathematics (the child calculating the cost of items), or economics (supply and demand factors), but this may add hours to a routine shop.<\/p>\n

So, parents will need to consider their ability and desire to take on this leading role in their child\u2019s education. For some parents it can also take an\u00a0emotional toll<\/a>\u00a0and feel isolating if there isn\u2019t a plan or enough support.<\/p>\n

3. Consider social and other difficulties at school<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Some families homeschool on religious or ideological grounds; others are motivated by\u00a0practical limitations<\/a>\u00a0to school access \u2014 such as if the school is too far from home or their child has a disability.<\/p>\n

Many individual children can face difficulties\u00a0going to school<\/a>, such as the separation of leaving their carer or parent. Other children may be bullied at school.<\/p>\n

There is\u00a0very little research<\/a>\u00a0into the effects on children who are experiencing difficulties at traditional schools and change to homeschooling.<\/p>\n

But parents should know schools\u00a0have a legal obligation<\/a>\u00a0to provide a safe environment for children. They must address bullying behaviour and provide support for both the victim and the perpetrator. When there are difficult interactions parents, teachers, the school and children (where appropriate) should collaborate to improve the situation.<\/p>\n

Children\u00a0often need support<\/a>\u00a0from teachers and parents to navigate exposure to bullying. But if the behaviour is allowed to continue with options exhausted, students will be more likely to experience negative psychological health from ongoing bullying.<\/p>\n

Data from 2016 show<\/a>\u00a0around 70% of children aged 12\u201313 experienced at least one bullying-like behaviour within a year. All forms of bullying have the potential to create long-term and disastrous psychological as well as physical effects. Some\u00a0young people<\/a>\u00a0who have died by suicide were found to have done so after\u00a0persistent bullying<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Evidence\u00a0suggests bullying<\/a>\u00a0constitutes a traumatic experience for students who are bullied. How teachers and schools respond to bullying and the frequency of bullying can also result in mental distress for students.<\/p>\n

Not all schools can and do\u00a0adequately manage<\/a>\u00a0bullying and other unsafe situations children may be in. In these instances, parents may decide to remove their child from school and homeschool their child.<\/p>\n

Parents can consider whether their\u00a0child is showing ongoing signs<\/a>\u00a0of psychological distress such as changes in behaviour, withdrawal from others, irritability or problems concentrating.<\/p>\n

Specialist support from a psychologist may help parents and students to understand the benefits and limitations of changing schools and homeschooling. If there are underlying social or separation anxieties involved, these issues should be addressed as they are likely to linger at home too.<\/p>\n

4. Children can thrive academically<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Children\u2019s academic outcomes need to be considered in the context of the parents\u2019 motivation for choosing homeschooling. For example, if a parent\u2019s primary concern is religious education their focus may not be on their child gaining the highest year 12 results possible.<\/p>\n

Research shows\u00a0academic results of children<\/a>\u00a0who are home educated are mixed. This is partly because there are diverse parental motivations which may or may not prioritise academic pursuits.<\/p>\n

In Australia, some studies have focused on\u00a0NAPLAN results<\/a>. These suggest home-educated students score higher than state averages across every measure. The\u00a0effect continues<\/a>\u00a0even if the child returns to school.<\/p>\n

Children who are homeschooled may be doing well because they receive\u00a0one-on-one attention<\/a>. Or it could be because the child\u2019s learning is\u00a0personalised<\/a>\u00a0and the child has\u00a0agency over their learning<\/a>.<\/p>\n

5. Children can be socialised in both environments<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Socialisation is again influenced by parental motivations and the education methods employed.<\/p>\n

Homeschooled young people can have a\u00a0diverse range of social interactions<\/a>\u00a0with people of different ages, including adults.<\/p>\n

An\u00a0Australian survey<\/a>\u00a0of homeschooling families showed nearly 50% of children participated in at least one club activity. This included 24 different sports \u2014 from AFL to aerial silks and yoga \u2014 and clubs including lego and chess. Around 40% attended at least one regular learning group. Classes included new languages, gardening, Shakespeare and archaeology.<\/p>\n

The majority of research participants regularly had \u201cplay dates\u201d with homeschooling and\/or non-homeschooling families. Children actively participated in their community through the arts, including community theatre, bands, choirs, dance and visual arts classes.<\/p>\n

Parents should consider the reasons behind their choice to homeschool and seek advice to ensure the best outcomes for their child socially, emotionally and academically.<\/p>\n
