It allows the parent and child much more freedom. This can be a good or a bad thing depending on how it is run. I have known some home schooled children who are never worked with and can barely read and do basic math. On the other hand, if it is run right, it will give a child the opportunity to do so many other things that he would not be able to do in a traditional setting. My brother was able to own his own lawn mowing business, learn how to tune pianos, play in a JR orchestra, and do many other things that he would not be able to do without the flexibility of home school. He was made to keep up on his school work, and was able to go to college and keep a very good GPA. The skills he learned while still in high-school allowed him to pay his way through college and have enough money left over for a down payment on a house. If a child does not have enough character to work on his own, or the parent does not want to spend time with him, homeschooling can be a disaster. Done right, it can be a wonderful thing.
