Indian and U.S. Home Schooling

Paper Summary:

The Indian educational system of Gujarat has differences and similarities to the home schooling system of the United States. The paper shows that the Gujarat school system is one half day at school and one half day at home, while the American system is usually all day at home. The paper looks at criticisms and structures of both these systems.

From the Paper:

"In American home schooling, one may questions whether a mother, who is not a professional teacher may grow weary and or fall prey to cleverness and biased emotion and in doing so, promote poor performance from her pupil. In fact, there is the general skepticism in the United States that the home-schooled student is incompatible with, unconventional for and under par to traditional education. Higher academia in the United States has taken note of these students and when the home schooling is not ascribed to some sort of check and balance system, or responsibility to a public or private system, higher academia has placed higher entrance requirements and in some cases, added qualifiers upon the home schooled student's admission."
