Since 1999, the rate of homeschooled children raised from 7% to 15% across the country. With the US schools turning into a ground for bloodshed owing to increasing number of school shootings every year, it is no surprise that parents are now looking forward to help their child learn at home. Apart from providing a safety net for young kids, homeschooling also allows one-to-one learning and teaching, enables the parent and the teacher to understand the learning pace and adaptability of the child, and provide a fitting education as per the child\u2019s needs. But parents are also turning increasingly worried about the right way to homeschool their child. For those who are just entering the world of homeschooling, here are 3 ways to accomplish <em><strong>homeschooling in the 21<sup>st<\/sup> century<\/strong><\/em> in the right manner.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Figure out the legalities<\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-66503\" src=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2019\/06\/Homeschooling-In-The-21st-Century-7.jpg\" alt=\"Homeschooling\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2019\/06\/Homeschooling-In-The-21st-Century-7.jpg 600w, https:\/\/drprem.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2019\/06\/Homeschooling-In-The-21st-Century-7-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Homeschooling in the 21<sup>st<\/sup> century is tricky. So, assumptions about the same will only lead to a catastrophe. Before you begin to understand the right tools and techniques to homeschool your child, do some research about the legal laws regarding the same.<\/p>\n<p>Homeschooling in the 21<sup>st<\/sup> century is legal in some US states, but not in every one of them. Check out what laws are in place when it comes to homeschooling your child. Understand the legal terms and conditions before you get started.<\/p>\n<p>If you are unsure about the laws in your State regarding homeschooling, check with an advocate and then decide on the next step. There are also many local legal communities in place to provide legal insight and advice regarding the same.<\/p>\n<h2>Find the best approach for homeschooling in the 21<sup>st<\/sup> century<\/h2>\n<p>Homeschooling in the 21<sup>st<\/sup> century is only as effective as the approach you involve towards it. For that, you need to understand your child\u2019s specific learning needs. As every child is different from the rest, you need to be aware about some homeschooling approaches that you can adopt to cater to your child\u2019s educational requirements.<\/p>\n<p>Some of these approaches are:<\/p>\n<h3>The school-at-home approach<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-66500\" src=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2019\/06\/Homeschooling-In-The-21st-Century-4.jpg\" alt=\"The school-at-home approach\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2019\/06\/Homeschooling-In-The-21st-Century-4.jpg 800w, https:\/\/drprem.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2019\/06\/Homeschooling-In-The-21st-Century-4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/drprem.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2019\/06\/Homeschooling-In-The-21st-Century-4-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This one uses the same curriculum which local or private schools use. The only difference is that instead of going to the school, the child learns the exact same thing at home. A parent can teach the child the curriculum for a short period of time or can enlist the help of a private tutor. This approach allows your child to learn at his\/her own pace, but it is an expensive approach for those who have a limited budget.<\/p>\n<h3>The classical approach<\/h3>\n<p>This approach, as the name suggests, takes its inspiration from ancient educational institutes and practices which emanate from Rome and Greece. Education is imparted in a chronological manner, so that the child can grasp various ideas and concepts right from their inception to the present moment.<\/p>\n<p>This is a systemized and organized method of homeschooling in the 21<sup>st<\/sup> century, but it limits itself quite highly when it comes to experimentation and interactive on the learning-teaching spectrum.<\/p><div class=\"38520354a5201685ddf480eec688e1a7\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9477973674766713\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8885944693\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<h3>The unit study approach<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-66498\" src=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2019\/06\/Homeschooling-In-The-21st-Century-2.jpg\" alt=\"The unit study approach\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2019\/06\/Homeschooling-In-The-21st-Century-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/drprem.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2019\/06\/Homeschooling-In-The-21st-Century-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/drprem.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2019\/06\/Homeschooling-In-The-21st-Century-2-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The unit study approach singles out a particular subject and helps the child to learn about it in its entirety. It is a more research-based approach to homeschooling in the 21<sup>st<\/sup> century. This approach works best if your child shows prodigal talent towards one particular subject area.<\/p>\n<p>However, the drawback is that this approach leaves wide gaps between two or more subjects and restricts the acquisition of general knowledge.<\/p>\n<h3>The unschooling approach<\/h3>\n<p>The unschooling approach is one of the most unconventional approaches to homeschooling in the 21<sup>st<\/sup> century. The teacher plays the role of facilitator. While the subjects are taught in a systematic manner, testing and evaluation do not form a part of the approach.<\/p>\n<p>This approach embraces multi-dimensional learning and the individuality of the student at the same time. However, this approach lacks a comprehensive structure, leaves substantial knowledge gaps, and makes it difficult for the parents to access progress.<\/p>\n<h3>Eclectic or relaxed approach<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-66502\" src=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2019\/06\/Homeschooling-In-The-21st-Century-6.jpg\" alt=\"Eclectic or relaxed approach\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2019\/06\/Homeschooling-In-The-21st-Century-6.jpg 800w, https:\/\/drprem.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2019\/06\/Homeschooling-In-The-21st-Century-6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/drprem.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2019\/06\/Homeschooling-In-The-21st-Century-6-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This is one of the most popular homeschooling approaches today. This one doesn\u2019t follow the curriculum, instead, it is more child-focused and highly resourceful.<\/p>\n<p>It is also one of the most flexible approaches, which allows the parent and the teacher to identify and focus on the child\u2019s strength and weakness when it comes to learning.<\/p>\n<h2>Join a community of homeschoolers<\/h2>\n<p>Homeschooling in the 21<sup>st<\/sup> century is a hard job. Anyway you are isolating yourself and your child from that school going community of students and their parents. However, you do not need to worry about doing homeschooling the right way if you are a part of the homschoolers\u2019 community.<\/p>\n<p>Find a local or an online group of hoeschooled students and their parents. Find time to interact with them at least once or twice a week. You can voice you query or concern, and even come to know about various novel techniques and methods for enhance the homeschool method.<\/p>\n<h2>Improve homeschooling with technology<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-66504\" src=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2019\/06\/homeschooling-with-technology.jpg\" alt=\"homeschooling with technology\" width=\"800\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2019\/06\/homeschooling-with-technology.jpg 800w, https:\/\/drprem.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2019\/06\/homeschooling-with-technology-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/drprem.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2019\/06\/homeschooling-with-technology-768x518.jpg 768w, https:\/\/drprem.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2019\/06\/homeschooling-with-technology-220x150.jpg 220w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Do not underestimate the power of technology when it comes to education. In the 21<sup>st<\/sup> century, when\u00a0 almost everything has become accessible online, it has also become easier to regulate the homeschooling conditions with the use of technology.<\/p>\n<p>Download e-books for your homeschooled child to read and gather immense knowledge from. Make use of Google drive and Google Sheets or Calendar to keep a track of your child\u2019s assignments and the resulting progress.<\/p>\n<p>With the advent of E-courses, it is now more easy than ever to introduce your child to newer, unique concepts and ideas in tandem with his\/her homeschooling approach\/s.<\/p>\n<p>Homeschooling isn\u2019t a novel concept. However, with changing times, it needs an upgrade. If you are planning to homeschool your child this year, understand that you have to compensate for the child\u2019s lack of socialization with other kids of the same age group.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you think that the best place for your child to learn and grow is your own\u00a0 house, then homeschooling is the best choice for everyone. Just ensure that you do it right.<\/p>\n<div class=\"38520354a5201685ddf480eec688e1a7\" data-index=\"3\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n          <p><a id=\"link-15\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;\" id=\"img-15\" src=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\r\n            <script>\r\n            var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();\r\n            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {\r\n              if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {\r\n                var myObj = JSON.parse(this.responseText);\r\n                document.getElementById(\"link-\"+myObj.id).setAttribute('href',myObj.url);\r\n                document.getElementById(\"img-\"+myObj.id).setAttribute('src','https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/\/uploads\/'+myObj.image);\r\n              }\r\n            };\r\n            xmlhttp.open(\"GET\", \"https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/\/api\/Ads\/15\", true);\r\n            xmlhttp.send();\r\n            <\/script>\r\n        \r\n        <style>\r\n        *{box-sizing:border-box}.top-container{display: grid;grid-template-columns: auto auto auto;}.column{float:left;width:100%;padding: 0 7.5px 15px 7.5px;}.row{margin:0 -5px}.row:after{content:\"\";display:table;clear:both}@media screen and (max-width: 600px){.top-container{display: block;grid-template-columns: unset;}.column{width:100%;display:block;margin-bottom:20px}}.card{text-align:center;}.card_image img{width:100%}.card_body{padding:15px}.card_title{font-size: 14px;line-height: 19px;text-decoration: none;text-align:left;color: #333;}.card-heading{text-align: left;margin-bottom: 25px !important;}\r\n        <\/style>\r\n        <div class=\"row todays-top\">\r\n            <h3 class=\"card-heading\"> Recent Articles: <\/h3><div class=\"top-container\" id=\"todays-top\">\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <script>\r\n            var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();\r\n            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {\r\n            if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {\r\n            var myObj = JSON.parse(this.responseText); \r\n            myObj.forEach(function(item) {\r\n            document.getElementById('todays-top').innerHTML += '<div class=\"column\"><div class=\"card\"><div class=\"card_image\"><a href=\"'+item.url+'\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"'+item.image+'\"><\/a><\/div><div class=\"card_body\"><a href=\"'+item.url+'\"><h3 class=\"card_title\">'+item.title+'<\/h3><\/a><a href=\"'+item.url+'\">Read more<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>';\r\n            });\r\n            }\r\n            };\r\n            xmlhttp.open(\"GET\", \"https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/api\/Drprem_blogs\", true);\r\n            xmlhttp.send();\r\n            <\/script>\r\n        \r\n        \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<style>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t.videoWrapper{position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0}.videoWrapper iframe{position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%}\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/style>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"videoWrapper\" id=\"video_7\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvar xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                var myObj = JSON.parse(this.responseText);\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                document.getElementById(\"video_\"+myObj.id).innerHTML = myObj.embed_video_code;\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            }\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            };\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            xmlhttp.open(\"GET\", \"https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/api\/Videos\/7\", true);\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            xmlhttp.send();\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/script>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More than 3% of all kids who qualify for schooling were homeschooled in the US.
