Well, is educated to the same level or better than public system would. Once again, that depends on what other social interactions the child has and can be no disadvantage at all. In public schools some kids become isolated and are set back socially, does that mean that the public system handicaps its students? No, homeschooling is at higher risk, but most parents understand the importance of social interaction and will have their kids in sports, or music, or a religious assembly, etc. Most homeschooled kids turn out just fine.

your grades mean nothing. they are nothing more than superficial milestones in what appears to be an education lacking in fundamental english and history from what i read here, and presumably math and science as well. (proof being that you understand only half of what i just said.) this should make you upset JM, not happily obliviousyou have been stunted and hobbled. maybe you wouldnt have excelled in a decent system of education, regardless (public/private/home school) but the fact is you were robbed of that chance. i suspect you feel accomplished and comfortable with the ease of your 'education' as any kid would have, but the fact is you were cheated.

School of Tomorrow
Thanks storm!jm 🙂
I don't attend nor have I ever and most likely never attend a public school. However, I think that it's vital that children, teenagers, whatever grow up in some sort of school. Just seems healthy for people to interact regardless of whether you're at the bottom of the food chain or up. Honestly, home school kind of creeps me out. 😬

Why does it creep you out?jm
Well personally I don't think it's really healthy for person's social interaction. I think it builds better social skills growing up in a school environment. Also that whole staying at home thing just never sat right with me, no definitive reason why it creeps me out, just does.
Not all people who homeschool has been like that for the rest of the there lifes.Some went to pubic school which I did.And homeschooled for there last years of highschool.
Also what people don't understand is that alot of groups of homeschooling does the schooling at other people's house reather there friends or whatever so they are around other people there age.
So the whole they are not around other people is not true.Anyway got to go.jm
Originally posted by RegretYou cant seriously tell me that recieving information from dozens of different teachers creates more bias than recieving it from one or two teachers?
😆 😆There is no such thing, the lack of any religious perspective is not less biased, it is the other end of the biased spectrum.
Originally posted by ADarksideJediMy girls have been fortunate enough to have been through a few great teachers... We've been blessed. They have been able to do so much more including learning to play an instrument amongst other things that I wouldnt be able to give them if I home schooled them. Also, they have had the chance to learn better social skills then if they were not in school.
Do you any reasons why?jm
that plus I do have 4 girls 😖 .... public school gives me 7 hours a day of quiet time or time to get things done thats harder when you have your children around.

My opinion there should be both, you should be teaching your kids at home and they need to go to public or private schools to learn to interact with the public and learn social skills as well as get a wide range of views.
So, basically you're voting for the status quo?
