Sometimes it is difficult to tell if a child is learning enough in homeschool because homeschooling generally takes much less time than traditional education. When students are pulled from a traditional school setting and placed in homeschooling it is sometimes difficult for the parent to know if the student is actually learning enough to keep up with their grade peers. If your student begins their homeschool day ready to go to school, moves quickly through their assignments, and is hungry for more information, it is safe to say that the student is learning. It is safe to say that a homeschooled student can probably cover more material in a school day than traditional educated students can. Homeschooled children generally do not spend as much time on a particular topic as traditionally educated students because they are neither ahead nor behind their classmates. A big problem is that homeschool students tend to not be tested as often as public school students. Many parents of public school students decide that if the grades coming home on test papers and report cards are good, then their child must be learning. Homeschooled students generally do not take as many tests as public school students
