Homeschooling is the education of children at home, typically by parents but sometimes by tutors, rather than in public or private school. As a matter of fact, most childhood education occurred within the family or community.

Homeschooling is a legal choice for parents in developed countries to provide their children with a learning environment at home. Parents see many reasons for homeschool, including better test results, improved instruction, to help the public system with fewer kids, poor public school environment, religious reasons, improved character development, the expense of private education, and objection to what is taught locally in public school.

Homeschooling can also be a choice for families living in remote (遥远的) locations, living abroad, and to allow for more traveling. Also many young athletes and actors are taught at home, where a coach (教练) or tutor is with the child for many years and then knows the child very well.

In some places, an approved curriculum (课程) is required if children are to be home-schooled. In some cases a liberal arts (文科) education is provided.

A. they are tired of taking their children to and from school

B. their children are too naughty (淘气的) to go to a regular school
