Area of Support #3  Another main reason for parents to choose home schooling is a great way for parents to keep their children away from negative peer pressure and dangerous situations. In the past school shootings have been more common but even now they are something that everyone fear (Jennrich). "A seperate government report showed a rising number of teens are skipping school for fear of getting hurt..."(Feller). Studies show that kids who were homeschooled don’t judge others their own age based on race, social level, clothes, or material things as found in regular school kids. They do not consider sterotypes and have a closer relationship with there parents (Orchier). This is good for parents who want their children to feel good about themselves and who they are. “Education is a method whereby one acquires a higher level of prejudices.”(Peter). This quote does a good job of explaining how kids in both public and private schools judge others. Home schooling is also one of the best ways to keep children away from negative peer pressure, dangerous situations, and other negative influences found in public school teenagers. Examples of this are drugs and drinking and violent behaviors(Feller). Clearly, home schooling is a great way to keep children away from negative influences.
