If both parents expect to work, the family income will be lowered.
Because not all families intend on having two salaries, many of us do not consider this a loss.
Some parents may find it academically tricky, not so much because of the material, but because there is a lot to get your head around in the curriculum if your country or state demands it.
Not everyone does.
(There is a widespread misperception that mothers are “teachers” in homeschooling; this is not true.
There are no teachers, they are unnecessary, and Google has all of the answers)
Parents must thoroughly research homeschooling and unschooling methods and ideas.
Perhaps not a disadvantage, but a time commitment.
Maintaining a homeschooling lifestyle requires a significant time commitment.
Having children at home all day necessitates additional buying, cooking, and cleaning; if the parent wants to play “teacher” in a school-at-home scenario (which is uncommon), lesson planning and material preparation are required.
Homeschooling can be less expensive than sending children to school, but it can also be far more costly.
It all depends on how much money the parents will spend on science equipment, computers, travel, field excursions, clubs, tutors, and other resources.
