As traditional classrooms continue to teach standardized testing, many parents are looking for ways to engage their children in learning.
Gone are the days where a child is learning through experience because a standardized test only wants to know the basics.
Many parents are turning to home schooling distance learning programs because they understand that their child is getting a better education.
Although, they worry about whether these classes will be accepted by colleges, they know that their children need something more.
How Home Schooling Distance Learning Can Help Many children today, sit in a classroom where they are bored and where the curriculum is boring for their teachers.
Most traditional classrooms have to deal with disciplinary problems because of this boredom, and they often have to deal with large classes.
In a home schooling distance learning environment you have several advantages:

• You can set up a place in your house that is conducive to learning.
  Students learn best when they have a regular place to go for learning and you can set up an area that is quiet for them.
  
 
• You have one on one instruction.
  Children learn one on one, which means they retain more and they can do their work free of interruptions.
  
 
• Real world learning can enhance the learning.
  You can use real world situations to help in the learning of the curriculum.
  Children can use their entire environment for the learning process.
  
 
• Most home schooled children do not have to take standardized tests.
  Usually children who are home schooled are exempt from the standardized tests that are mandatory in the traditional classroom.
  

Teaching Your Child Yourself vs.
Finding a Teacher Parents do not have to worry about teaching their child because there are many programs that provide this information for them.
There are many homeschooling distance learning programs that provide you with a teacher who guides your child through the coursework and parents are there for support.
  They also provide a curriculum that is certified by the state and has all the elements that your child will need to succeed.
Many programs start in middle school and can take your child through high school and college prep.
Setting Up A Homeschooling Distance Learning Program When you first decide to do homeschooling it is important to check with your state's requirements.
Each one will tell you exactly what they need in order to accept your child's work.
Once you have this information, go online and do research on the various schools available.
Begin to talk with your child about the new environment and how it will make a difference to them.
Include them in the research with the schools.
Create a space for your student to work within that can be dedicated to their learning.
Finally, help them set a schedule that will accomplish the goals they seek.
Homeschooling distance learning can be the best idea for children who need one on one attention, and who need to be engaged in a hands-on learning environment.
