Abstract

This research study seeks to examine the benefits and drawbacks of homeschooling in urban areas, considering the unique social, educational, and environmental dynamics of urban settings. Homeschooling has become an increasingly popular choice for families seeking alternative educational approaches, particularly in urban environments where access to diverse resources and support systems is abundant yet can also present challenges. Through a comprehensive analysis of existing literature, qualitative data collection, and stakeholder perspectives, this study aims to identify the key advantages and disadvantages of homeschooling in urban areas. The research specifically focuses on understanding the impact of homeschooling on educational outcomes, socialization, community engagement, and the availability of support systems for families in urban settings. By addressing these key aspects, the study aims to provide valuable insights that can inform educational policies, practices, and support mechanisms to better meet the needs of homeschooling families in urban areas, ultimately contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of homeschooling within the context of urban education.
