Christian Homeschooling Online with Zion Academy
Online homeschool is a great way of educating your kids at home. Though most parents opt for state-sponsored schooling, some opt for Christian online homeschooling. There could be several reasons for schooling kids at home. Some reasons might be bullying, indoctrination, sexual deviance, school environment, or just helping your child pursue their talents and dreams. However, our homeschool program online is not for everyone, and a lot of self-directed effort is required which not all parents can give, but Zion Academy’s homeschool curriculum plan makes everything so much easier. To decide what is best for your children, you should examine the pros and cons of online homeschool.
Pros of Homeschooling Online
Freedom
With online homeschool comes freedom of choice. How? Your child has a free hand to follow their dreams along with getting homeschooling online. Schools are more focused on specific education board-mandated curriculum instead of paying attention to individual students’ aims, goals, passions, strengths, and weaknesses. Online k-12 homeschooling has the benefit of paying equal attention to every subject from music to math. Added to freedom of choice is freedom from bullying, peer pressure, and indoctrination on some matters. Freedom to homeschool means freedom to parent, freedom to learn, and freedom to grow properly.
Own Timing:
Everyone wishes to do things in their own timing and schedule, which can vary. While specific, daily tasks are set by ZAA, students can set their own flexible schedule so they don’t have to follow an hourly schedule as dictated by a public or private school.
Cost Effective:
Not all homeschooling online is expensive. There are very few online homeschool programs which are actually affordable, fewer, still, which are accredited and affordable, and none which are truly free. With ZAA, constant purchase of curriculum is not required and all resources are included and provided online.
Cons of Homeschooling Online:
Social Life Affected:
The one major drawback of online homeschooling is less social interaction. you get less exposure to different personalities, as the most you can do is help your child interact with neighbors, cousins, or family friends. A child studying at home often lacks the confidence to open up to others as he has been in such an environment since childhood. Children mostly get depressed when they have fewer people to interact with.
Screentime:
There is an excess usage of phones, tablets, laptops, and monitors whatever you take online classes on and play games on. This constant use of screens can affect children’s eyes, so ZAA recommends blue light glasses and/or filters, which limits the amount of harmful blue light absorped by the eyes. We know that increased screen time should also mean taking more time for wholesome activities. So instead of filling time with online gaming, chats, etc., now your child can spend most of their screentime doing home school work, have a little bit of gaming or online “freetime,” but focus most of their off-screen efforts to socializing in-person.
Less individual attention:
This is not something that affects homeschoolers at ZAA. Each child gets a customized curriculum plan to follow. But as a rule, homeschooling of any kind allows better individualized time and attention vs. a traditional class. This might lead to increased difficulty.
