It may sound weird to you and some parents that we can homeschool our kids in our own way in Pakistan too. It can be challenging in the beginning for you and your kids but simultaneously you would get used to it.
First of all you need a plan for strategically setting a timetable and routine to continue homeschooling.
There were plenty of reasons why I started homeschooling my two boys. They were in one of the best schools in the city but I was not satisfied. I felt they were not dealt according to their potentials. Our schools are not trained enough to take out best of every kids but rather to make them all follow same pattern and syllabus at the same pace. It is proved time and again that every child has different learning capabilities, we can't treat them all same way. So they need to be treated according to their mental capabilities. I felt the only thing they were learning was English language and not much. I needed them to gain knowledge too and to be interested what they were being taught. They lost their power of mental accessiblilty and were forced to think inside the box. These things made me think about other ways of educating my kids.
I started researching and read lots of views of other parents who were in my situation. I learned how well their kids were doing after they switched to homeschooling but it needed lots of patience and determination.
First of all I had to choose the curriculum I was going to follow and what educational materials I can get at home easily. I collected all the information I needed and now it's been six months since I started homeschooling my two difficult boys. I am very satisfied and hope it works out for you too. In the beginning lots of will power was needed.
In next article I will share with you how to plan a timetable and strategies to make homeschooling a good experience for you and kids. I had to face lots of adversities from the society but I stood my ground. A parent knows better than other people what would work best for their kids. Keep faith in yourself and your kids and all will work out well.
