Young American soccer players’ dream about growing up is always to go over to England and play. That dream came true for a young 14-year-old boy as he stepped off the plane in Manchester, England after the long 7-hour flight that took off from JFK. Before he could even comprehend he was in England the bus arrived at the hotel where he received his room key along with his roommate assignment. The Hotel they were staying in was attached to Bolton Wander’s stadium so the hotel room window had the best view of the pitch. It was late in the day and he and his roommate knew they had to get up early for training in the morning.
When the team arrived at the training fields in the morning they were greeted by a great surprise that the Bolton U21 coaches were going to be running the morning training session. So as we were told growing up with other coaches the first thing the young boy did was introduce and shake hands with all the coaches and they were super impressed with 14-year-old maturity. Training began with a simple passing drill which eventually turned into some 3 versus 2 against the goalkeeper. The young boy had been playing great all morning and that continued on to the scrimmage where he scored and assisted on a goal that won his team the game. After training the Bolton coaches had yet another surprise as they would be coaching us the next day in our game against Bolton’s U-15 squad. The coach continued on by naming the boy captain for the game tomorrow because they were all so impressed not only with his on-the-field play but his maturity and leadership off the field.
This young boy would never have had the opportunity to play and beat an English team in England while being captain if it was his involvement in youth sports. He really was impressive in England and the boy too that success and confidence back home where he continued his success.
Following A Parents Curriculum
How would you feel if your mom was your teacher, principal, and superintendent at once? Students who are homeschooled have this as a normal thing for them. They live in the same house every day where they are able to get their education. The growth of homeschooling across America has grown exponentially since the pandemic as many parents did not feel comfortable sending their children to school. But that isn’t the only reason for the percentage of homeschoolers to almost double “ The overall rate of parents choosing to homeschool their kids has grown from 5.4% to 11.1%, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau”(Cox). JJ Bullock of News Nation explains whether it’s a school shooting, bullying, or just being uncomfortable with your kid being at school parents always have a valid reason for not wanting their children to be in school and rather homeschooled instead.
For some people, the concept of homeschooling might be new or they don’t know what it’s like, But homeschooling is just how you might picture it. You wake up, have breakfast and start learning from the comfort of your own house. But it also offers more time to explore and do and try new things. It also offers flexibility year-round as since you are home school can make your own schedule. Homeschoolers can also learn faster than in school as you can go at the pace of the student instead of the pace of the class. “Since homeschool parents are the teacher, principal, and superintendent all at the same time, they have the freedom to create their own school experience for their kids. They can choose the curriculum and customize their school schedule to best meet the needs of their family. If they want to take a long trip in the middle of the school year, they can rearrange their schedule—or even take their schoolwork with them”(Klein). The flexibility that parents and students have over the schedule opens so many opportunities for not only the student but the parents as well. It saves parents time when having to pick up and drop off their kids or even having to wake up before them to make them lunch to bring to school in the morning. It’s the simple things like saving 5 minutes that can make a difference later in life.
Parents feel most comfortable about their children when they are with them under their roof. A partner’s biggest fear is losing their child and having that said child be home-schooled lowers the chances of that happening significantly. Schools are supposed to be safe places for children to learn but sadly that’s not the case in America as school shootings are a real threat every day. But parents who homeschool their children don’t have to worry. With their children at home parents are ankle to customize the learning experience best for their child. This could make it easier for their children to learn and would eliminate distractions of the classroom. Homeschooling certainly has its drawbacks but that’s anything and really at the end of the day it’s a parent’s decision on what they think is best for their kids whether that is online or at homeschooling.

This article describes many advantages and disadvantages of homeschooling and why many parents decide homeschooling is right for their kids. Many times though, kids and parents can disagree on whether homeschooling is for them. For example, in the article one homeschooled student wanted to go to a public school because their parents could not teach them advanced algebra. There also seemed to be a common theme in the kids who were homeschooled. According to the article, most homeschooled kids are white, politically conservative Christians who reject public school due to religious or safety reasons. With that being said, the main reason parents homeschool their kids according to the article was due to safety reasons with the second being dissatisfaction with academic instruction. The article also describes how homeschooling has become much more popular over the years and has doubled between 1999 and 2012. This number is expected to grow higher and higher in the future.

This article describes why many more parents are deciding to homeschool their kids and the benefits that come along with it. In the opening paragraph of the article, it states that the number of kids homeschooled in the past ten years has tripled. This is due to a multitude of different reasons including academic assurance and safety reasons. Even with these benefits, the article goes through several drawbacks of homeschooling students. Some of these disadvantages include social and learning issues while parents try to teach their children subjects they might not be familiar with. Another main issue is parents failing to try to homeschool their kids and “dumping” them back into public school. This is because many times parents fail to teach their kids basic fundamentals which causes them to be behind once placed back into school. Even with these drawbacks, there is expected to be a rise in homeschooling in the future.

Barron, James. For Some, There’s No Place Like Home School. 16 Nov. 2020,
James Barron’s article “For some, There’s no Place Like Home” discusses how parents through the pandemic started home-schooling their kids. A mother from New Mexico explains how she couldn’t see her children doing online school, so she started home-schooling their kids. James Barron explains that this happened all over the country as numbers continue to rise yearly. Thanks to the pandemic he thinks public education will never be the same as parents can have more control over their kid’s early learning.

Historically speaking in 1994 ninety percent of children who were homeschooled came from white families. Rebecca Klien’s article “Opting Out: A Wider Range of Parents Drives Home-School Surge” shows us that the numbers nowadays are a little bit different. In 2020 twenty-five percent of homeschoolers were now from a Hispanic or Latino household. Rebecca’s article continues by explaining the reasons why more and more families of color have started homeschooling their kids as well. Numbers did spike during the pandemic but Rebecca says that many parents were already considering moving their children to homeschool. The reasons she gives range all from the safety of their children to wanting to be able to teach a more monitored curriculum.
