Why Do Homeschool Kids Transition to Public Ed for HS?
Moste parents send their kids to regular school when it comes to high school. Why?
-
They see a value in professional, dynamic, experienced teachers at that higher level of education
-
They don't remember the knowledge they received from high school well enough to teach it to someone else
-
The stakes are higher and it parents feel intimidated
-
They want an accredited high school diploma
-
Students want to learn from someone (or many teachers) outside of their parents
-
Students want to be with their peers, often times really seeking that "big high school" experience
-
Sports, clubs, CTE, STEAM, electives, career development, college counseling, trips, and social experiences are offered in such big ways at regular school, it is hard to imagine this can be done well in homeschool
-
Trying to compete with regular school to offer an amazing high school experience is very expensive and time consuming
-
Parent/child relationships can get a little dicey during the teen years, especially if their students don't want to homeschool
