Yes. One reason is because you're teaching at the speed of the child, not the speed of the stupidest person in the room. Once they reach a certain age, they are capable of taking care of their own learning process with only a bit of oversight. Most original schools when our country was founded put all of the kids in one big room, and they all learned at their own speed , not what their "age appropriate grade" told them to learn . Many people have warped ideas about what homeschooling is, and have no idea of the number of field trips and sports activities that are organized plus the number of field trips the parent can create on their own while teaching particular subjects. So happy to see so many more kids getting home schooled these days! I did it 27 years ago when it wasn't particularly popular.
