From his experience observing familes that homeschool, Huang Hsia-cheng says there are several potential problems: the parents may get extremely tired; they may overlook the need for a balanced education that develops a well-rounded person; they may lack self-discipline and procrastinate; and they may have difficulty finding the middle ground between flexibility and discipline and between isolation and having too many educational commitments outside the home.
黃夏成綜合各家的經驗，歸納出些警訊，包括：父母累垮了、忽略全人發展的均衡性、缺乏自律造成拖延、難以在「有彈性」和「持之以恆」間取得平衡，以及無法在「過多支援」和「過於孤單」間取得平衡等等，提醒在家教育者小心防範。
