Teachers' perceptions of home schooled children
Abstract
This study examined teachers' perceptions of home schooled
children's social/emotional and academic preparation for returning to
the regular classroom.
Fifteen elementary and three secondary school teachers were
interviewed using formal, open-ended questions.
The responses show that teachers find home schooled children
socially unprepared to enter the formal school system. Teachers
appeared less concerned about home schooled children's academic
preparation.
