Abstract
Alternative educational strategies such as homeschooling have drawn a lot of interest because they give families the opportunity to foster educational autonomy. This study examines the advantages and difficulties of homeschooling from the viewpoints of parents in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Germany, and the United States. Open-ended interviews were conducted with 10 participants from a variety of backgrounds in order to better understand their perspectives on homeschooling. In addition to the improved schedule and pacing flexibility, increased curriculum customization, and instructional techniques to meet individual requirements, homeschooling has a number of advantages. As well as strengthening parent-child relationships, parents mentioned the creation of a safe and encouraging learning environment.However, the article also mentions a few challenges faced by homeschooling families. Parents must invest substantial time and effort into their children, there are potential socialization difficulties, limited access to specialist resources, parents must continually adapt their educational approaches, and extracurricular activities are limited. By examining parental opinions in several nations, this study sheds light on how cultural and social conditions affect homeschooling experiences. Research results enhance our knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages of homeschooling, enabling families considering or already utilizing this educational strategy to make well-informed choices.
