Recently, more and more often from parentsyou can hear that their child is studying at home. And home schooling is of increasing interest. Perhaps you are also thinking about moving a child to home schooling? Home schooling is quite possible, but parents need to know some of the features of this procedure. There are several varieties of this form of training, each of which, despite common similarities, has its own distinctive features. This is exactly what will be discussed in this article.
Home Education
Unfortunately, but there is a lotchildren who, for all their desire, simply because of their health can not attend a regular general education school. And similar children, alas, quite a lot - according to the statistics of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, today in our country almost 700 thousand children - school-age invalids. And about 60% of all children are not able to attend school. And what about the rest of the guys? Do not learn at all? So, of course, you can not. Learn by yourself, but do not get any papers? But after all, the certificate of secondary education is necessary for all people without exception! That's it for these children, the only way out is home education, which will help them not to remain without a certificate of maturity. Currently, there are two forms of home-based education, designed for disabled children:
- General Education
Those guys who are at home school,who study in the general education program, study all the same disciplines that their healthy peers study in an ordinary high school. And, in principle, in the end, after graduation, and those children, and others after the end of training, basic knowledge should be exactly the same, of course, adjusted for the individual characteristics and abilities of each particular child. However, unlike schooling, during homework, the schedule of lessons is flexible enough - the duration of lessons can be either shorter or longer: depending on the individual needs of the child and, of course, on his state of health. Teachers, as a rule, come to the child home, prefer to capture several subjects at once, that is why more than three lessons at a time are usually in one day. The standard scheme for home-based education of a sick child is as follows:
- Eight lessons - grade 4.
- Ten lessons - 5-8 class.
- Eleven lessons are class 9.
- Twelve lessons - 11 class.
After the child has completed thegeneral program, the school will issue a certificate attesting that the child has completed a comprehensive school, and this certificate is exactly the same as his classmates who study in a regular school at a standard school.
- Supplementary training program
If the child is seriously ill, then histraining is developed taking into account individual characteristics, according to an auxiliary program. In the event that the child graduates from the secondary school, after graduation he will receive a special certificate, which will indicate the program for which he studied.
How does this happen?
In order for the child to study at home,parents need to take some measures. First, it is necessary to go to a pediatric clinic for a pediatrician who will send the child to a special commission that will examine the baby and make an appropriate decision. If the commission finds that your child needs to be trained at home, you will be given a special medical report. There is a list of diseases for home schooling. After this, parents should contact the school principal, write a statement of the appropriate sample. To the application you need to attach the very medical conclusion about the need for home schooling. If the child can be trained according to the general program, the teacher will give the parents a schedule of visits of the child by the teachers. In the same case, if the child is seriously ill, parents together with the teachers together should form an auxiliary training program. In this program, the subjects to be studied by the child, as well as the number of compulsory hours per week should be clearly spelled out. Within a week after the parents have provided all the necessary documents, the headmaster must issue a special decree for the school, which should specify the teaching staff who will teach the child, as well as the number of hours of study per week, and the frequency of the child's attestation for academic disciplines throughout the year. On the hands of the child's parents, the headmaster will issue a special magazine in which teachers coming to the home to the student should make notes about the time of the lessons with the child, the content of the material passed and the child's progress. At the end of each academic year, the parents of the child must take this magazine to a general educational institution, during the final annual certification. 
Family education
Another type of training, in which the child canTo study at home without attending school is a family education. In such cases, the child is trained at home not because his health condition forces him to such a measure, but because his parents so want. All knowledge in this case is given to the child either by private teachers - tutors invited to it, either by the parents themselves, or by self-education. In school, children who study in this way, come only for intermediate and final certification. In order to transfer the child to the form of a family education, parents should also apply with a corresponding statement to the director of the general educational institution. The director will review the application, and make a decision. Also, an order will be issued for the school, in which the schedule for the intermediate and final attestation of the child will be clearly defined. In which cases it makes sense to think about giving preference to the home-based form of education? Let's try to understand this question:
What does that require?
As already mentioned, if the parents decide to transferchild for home schooling, they must write an application addressed to the principal. However, before this, it is necessary to write a statement requesting that the matter be considered by the local department of the education department. A special commission will be created in the department of education. The commission includes a representative of the department, director and teacher of the school, behind which your child, teachers and trainer of the child, the child himself, other interested persons will be assigned. In the event that this commission deems it necessary and appropriate to teach the child at home, a decision is made to secure the child for a particular school. And only after that the pedagogical council of the school will draw up a schedule of intermediate and final certification of the child.
Pros and Cons of Home Education
Home schooling for schoolchildren has a number of positive and negative sides. Positive moments include:
- Flexibility of the educational process
Home schooling allowsto regulate the degree of intensity of the load - either to compress the volume of educational material, or, on the contrary, spend on its study for a longer period than in school.
- Hope for yourself
Studying at home, the child does not havesuch an opportunity, as in school, to write off something from other children. Therefore, he has to rely only on himself and his knowledge, which is not even bad. After all, the ability to count only on yourself will not only help him out in adulthood.
- Selective training
Home schooling of schoolchildren is also good,that the child has the opportunity to study in more detail exactly those subjects that interest him. However, do not forget that all the compulsory educational disciplines to hand over the child still have to.
- Limiting the negative impact on children of their peers
Many parents justify their decisiontransfer the child to home schooling by the fact that the child does not have a negative impact of peers from disadvantaged families. On the one hand, this is true, but many child psychologists believe that as a result of this approach to education, children grow up unable to resist any negative influences. However, of course, home schooling students has some negative points:
- Lack of children's collective
Due to the fact that the child does not attend school, he does notwill be able to acquire the skills of teamwork, will not have the opportunity to socially adapt to the full. In any case, parents should carefully weigh all the positive and negative points before taking such a responsible treatment! We advise you to read:
