   Well, it really …
   Well, it really depends on the parents. Homeschool is a big decision, and they need lots of time and energy to homeschool you. Think of several good reasons, and sit down and talk to your parents about it one day when they’re not too busy.

   I did this for a little while after middle school. I agree that those homeschoolers that have done it all their lives tend to be a little socially awkward (not all, though). However, once a child has experienced being in a regular school, I think they learn a lot of basic social skills. I do believe in homeschooling, especially since it allows kids to move at their own pace. Also, homeschoolers are not socially deprived.They still have friends and get out of the house. Hope this helps!

   Here’s a tip. When you are making a comment to refute my claim that home schooling deprives children of a good education, make sure you use grammar that is better than what Captain Caveman might use.

   your comment is insulting and you final conclusion is void of the truth.

   If the child will get confused at school, how will the child do in a man eat man world after they get their GED? The world is a tough place, very tough. Public school teaches more than just academics, it teaches survival. It is much easier to take the abuse at a young age than adapt as an adult. I went to private school for elementary, then public school throughout my Masters and now for my Doctorate. I don’t have a single bad thing to say about the public school system in the midwest.

    Thank you so much …
    Thank you so much for answering my questions! You say a key word, healthy interaction, but what kind of healthy interaction you get when you have other classmates bulling you and calling you names, or being shot or raped.Children spent 7 hours in school. For what…I got 4.0 GPA and English is my second language! I got all A’s in English, College level, an some American students didn’t pass the class!! I do not think that American Schools are educating children with education in mind! My opinion

    It seems like the primary reason people in the US opt to home school children is not so they get a higher quality of education than what a public school can provide, but because they want to prevent their children from learning about concepts like evolution, multiculturalism, etc.
    Add in the factor that most parents that home school their kids did not receive a secondary education in education themselves, and I think it’s fair to say that “home-schooled” is a good euphamism for “uneducated.”

    I agree. I think …
    I agree. I think public or private school is much better because it is the real world. Some homeschoolers are well…weird (but I’m not saying all!). Socialization is important. And so is good grades. At a regular HS you get to see cute boys, have fun (I’m not saying everyday is great though, but that’s life), you get to do a sport and just be a normal kid. Homeschooling may work for some but in my opinion going to school is better.

    see my reply to the other person below. hopefully that answers some of ur questions. and getting good grades is not a bad thing if you want to be a scientist who sits in a lab all day and has no interaction with other people, but if you want to be able to relate to other people then you need social interaction from a young age…and im not talking about homeschool event where the a bunch of awkward kids discuss molecular biology and quantum mechanics. homeschooling is just a flawed system.

    hey. its really hard to express in words what exactly homeschooling does to you. homeschool parents always claim that their kids are getting adequate “socialization”, and growing up, i always believed i did, but now i realize that no amount of “co-op classes” can make up to the every day interaction with other kids. as a result of this, i feel separated from the rest of my generation. i lack the intangible communication skills that are developed thru healthy social interaction.

    Hi, Why it is a bad Idea to home school? Why it was the worst thing they ever did to you? What should they have done differently in order to successfully homeschool you? Thank you for answering these questions if you can. I am considering homeschooling my son and it would be useful to us to know. Thanks

    Well you could …
    Well you could ellaborate a little bit. You painted a broad picture but failed to give any reasoning. How were you raised by smart loving parents yet the worst thing they EVER did to you was homeschool you? How are you screwed over for life? How is getting good grades and seeming smart going to make you much worse off? I really am just curious.
    Love and light!!

    Parents: please …
    Parents: please consider this decision carefully. I was homeschooled k-12 by smart, loving parents and it was the worst thing they ever did to me. It will screw you over for life. you might think it is a success because your kids get good grades or seem smart. In the long run they are much worse off. Let me know if you have any questions.

    God Bless

    We pulled our 8 year-old out of public school. That was the best decision we ever made. He’s doing so much better. His self esteem is up. He’s has stronger, closer friendships. It’s not for everyone, but it’s been a blessing for us.

    We decided to homeschool our 1st child when he was 3 years old. By the time he turned 4, he tested at a 2nd grade level for reading and a year ahead on math.
    There is nothing to lose by homeschooling at a young age since they wouldn’t be in school anyway.
