Many parents decide to embark on home schooling their
children without realizing the amount of effort that will be involved. Any
parent thinking of starting out on this course should do a great deal of
research to understand what they are getting into and be sure of their
abilities to handle it. There is a vast variety of home school programs that
can be of great help to parents in providing them with curricula for their
children’s study, test and work books, resource material and teaching guides
all of which help to ensure that the parents’ educational goals for their
children are met. One of the most popular secular options is the Calvert home
school. It offers a “classroom in a box? curriculum that is suited for most
children, challenges them and is easy for the parents to use.
Calvert home school has been in existence for about a
hundred years, which attests to both the popularity and the success of the
program. What stands out about the program is that it is designed to make
learning interesting and fun and not just a task that has to be performed.
Because of this, there is less pressure on the parents to get their children to
sit down and study. One of the problems with home school is often that of
discipline. In a regular school the teacher is the symbol and exerciser of
authority. In the home school the parent has to be both the parent and the
teacher and the exercise of discipline and authority by a person wearing two
hats can become confusing for both parent and child. The Calvert home school is
designed to alleviate this problem to a large extent.
Calvert home school is designed so that a child moves
seamlessly from one level (or grade) to the next with no big jumps or new grade
based new syllabus to start on. Each level of learning is just one more layer
placed on top of the previous one so the progress is smooth. While most home
school programs allow children to learn at their own pace, the Calvert home
school is especially flexible in this way and puts no pressure on either the
student or the parent. At the same time it is challenging enough to keep
children mentally alert and allows for progress to be measured so that parent
swill know which are their children’s weak areas so they can place extra
emphasis on them.
The Calvert home school works in two ways. There is the
normal text book and teaching guide system that is common to all home school
programs. There is also the option of using the internet based Calvert home
school program where classroom type teaching is done by an online teacher. This
is particularly useful for parent who have their own weak areas and subjects
they are not properly equipped to teach. This option also offer parents the
facility of submitting work online for an external teacher to evaluate.
Beside its high academic standards in all subject , the
Calvert home school curriculum is noted for it emphasis on literature and
reading where great works of literature are an integral part of the syllabus.
