While we all know that homeschooling is educating a child or children at home, the motivations for home schooling are not always as clear. There are several reasons for it:
1. Religion cited as a factor in their choice;
2. Poor or unsafe learning environment;
3. Objections to school curriculum;
4. Being over or under challenged at school;
5. Drugs, sexual harassment, bullying and negative peer-pressure.
Other reasons often cited are; more flexibility in the educational curriculum, more available times and days, better individualized support for children with learning disabilities, more consistent academics for children of missionaries, military families, or parents that travel as part of their career.
