Homeschooling is still a new concept, especially in places like Asia where it’s not very common. I got interested in it because sometimes I feel that if school never had deadlines and COVID had lasted forever, my life would have taken a very different path.

Homeschooling simply means skipping traditional school and learning from home instead.
Parents usually homeschool their kids because of things like illness, AIDS, bullying, or safety issues like crime and theft.
But here, I want to look at homeschooling from a different point of view.
Imagine what happened to education during COVID — almost everything went online. I was in 8th grade back then, and instead of studying, I used to spend my time making games that no one ever played. I’m here today mostly because one random day, I just thought it would be fun to try building things.
What if I had that kind of freedom every single day, all year long? That would’ve been so fun. But instead, I had to keep studying like always.
What if I could just stay at home and learn things like coding, finance, and how to talk to people, instead of the usual subjects like physics, chemistry, and maths?
This is the kind of question a typical Indian parent might ask.
In the end, it mostly depends on what the parents want for their child. Do they want their kid to explore, build things, and learn about what’s really happening in the world right now? Or do they just want to follow the traditional CBSE path? Honestly, if you just sit and focus, you can finish that whole syllabus till 11th in around 4 to 6 months.
If we look a bit into the history of schooling, we’ll see that the current system comes from the colonial era. It was mainly designed to produce clerks and middlemen, not creative thinkers or innovators.
You can change all of this by simply taking charge and choosing homeschooling.
You don’t need to fix the whole system, you can just do it for yourself, and that’s such a cool idea.

I got into many homeschool groups in facebook
I have been active in these groups more than 6 months, and have conducted many experiments
somethings I got to know
Many students from classes 8 to 12 are currently homeschooling, which means their middle and high school years are happening outside traditional schools.

India doesn’t have a clear law that says homeschooling is allowed or banned — so it’s not really a yes or a no.
From what I’ve found in my research:
Self-directed learning
And if my kid follows my subjects, I’ll probably be able to guide him easily through all of it.
While I was doing my research, I came across a bunch of problems that could actually turn into really good startup ideas. If you’re into building something, feel free to take any of these and run with them.

FYI
Parents aren’t always open to talking, so reaching out and having proper conversations with them can be pretty hard.
Homeschooling feels like something that works best for parents who are a bit bold and really know what they are doing. Maybe parents who are teachers or principals themselves can handle it more smoothly.
But if you are someone who barely has time, especially with a full-time 9 to 5 job and maybe extra work too, it is probably better to let a school take care of your child’s education.
Also, teaching kids is not easy, it takes a lot of patience.
If you know you get angry or frustrated quickly, it’s probably better not to homeschool your kids yourself.
