Homeschooling is a system where children study at home instead of sending them to a physical school. It can be completed by creating a curriculum and teaching the children, hiring an instructor, or using an online course to provide instruction. For many parents, the daily routine of convincing their children to wake up, get ready for school and leave the comfort of their homes to go to school is hard work. Education is the priority for many parents, and about the learning environment that is the best for their unique child.
We can say any "home" is a child's first academy, and parents are their teachers. Many homeschooling parents believe home is the correct place for their child's future. Various researchers globally have promoted the idea of homeschooling at iCademy Middle East, American International School Dubai.

Homeschooling benefits students in the future,
- One-on-one learning:
The benefit of homeschooling is that your child gets complete and proper attention throughout learning. One-on-one learning allows the child to receive according to their unique mind.
- Time effectiveness:
In the traditional system, lots of time can be wasted because you wait for others. As well as losing time checking attendance, homework checking and moving from one class to another. But in homeschooling learning, you can use the internet and a proper system.
- Warm family environment:
A family is an excellent place for study and social development value and faith progress success.
- Focused Attention in Homeschooling:
Focused attention means that parents or teachers can completely engage with a child. Some students receive the attention they need in a busy classroom. In homeschooling learning parents and teachers are free to give the proper time for answering the question, exploring topics of interest etc.
- Special requirements:
The school environment can sometimes be stressful and inflexible for students who face issues of educational disabilities, special educational needs and social anxiety. Homeschooling education gives these children a secure and supportive learning environment.
Parents, please take the pressure off of yourself to home-school - ‘homeschooling’ is now a widely misused term for what millions of parents are currently trying to emulate, when in reality homeschooling is a choice to remove a child from an educational establishment, fully prepared, with obligation and legal responsibility to adhere to government standards.
Millions of us did not elect this and did not prepare for it.
It was thrust upon us as a result of a worldwide pandemic and as such we have to consider it something new and a bridge to the extended work our brilliant schools are now offering.
Do not assume, with no choice in the matter, you are suddenly expected to be a teacher, in the same way, you wouldn’t suddenly assume you could drive if I showed you a car for the first time, or could be a basket player upon seeing a basketball.
Just like the notion of ‘social distancing’ has morphed in circles to a more appropriate ‘physical distancing’, (we need to be social no matter how far from one another) we’d do better to consider ourselves offering ‘learning guidance’ than homeschooling, we parents are currently facilitators, conduits and occasional presenters - connecting our children to things that will engage, occupy and better them in small, small steps, wherever form they come in.
Over the last week, I’ve spoken to many parent friends who are already feeling the strain to fill their days with school-esque timetables - the goal really should be to set a rhythm in the day, for families to be around each other for so long in enclosed places - something that we may need to continue for months.
