I personally think that this day in time home school is the way to go if a family can do this. I also think that it is important to have plenty of opportunity for those that are home schooled to have friends. The support group thing was probably very helpful. I feel like the public school system is getting worse in a lot of areas and our children are the future.
Your right home schooling could be good if parents find ways for there kids to socialize and spend time with kids there own age, I dont think its always good for kids to be around adults all the time and in life and work they'll be around many differnt people not just family. :)

homeschooling can work only if it is being done for the right reasons and that the children have the support needed to succeed. i remember watching an episode of Super Nanny where the parents took their two oldest kids out of public school and had them homeschooled just so that they would be able to babysit their younger siblings while the parents were at work. They figured this would save them money from having to put them i daycare. The only problem was that the kids were too busy taking care of their brothers and the house leaving little time to focus on school work.
BAD IDEA!!!

Today there are many options for parents that choose to home school.  If your a parent considering homeschooling check with your local schools in many areas they offer online as well as traditional book curriculum which the student work with a certified teacher as well as there parent supervising to make sure the work is done.  I hear a lot of parents discussing the social aspect of school.  Many of these programs through our public schools offer extra curricular activities for our home schooled children to participate in just like they were going to a regular public school.  In my opinion school is supposed to be about learning not socializing and competition of who has the most expensive and fashionable outfit.  There are many activities for kids to socialize YMCA's, Sports, Etc.  I myself went to public school as well as my hubby, and we are both 100 percent sure were making the right decision in enrolling our daughter in our public schools digital academy where she will recieve the same curriculum that everyone else does with one on one attention from a licensed teacher as well as my full support to make sure the work gets done.  This might not be the right choice for every child, but for some people to judge and say that its wrong and parents are sheltering there kids is not always accurate.  For example our child has special needs that we feel are necessary to help her work through ourselves with the guidance and support of a teacher.  So if your a parent and are considering home school look into all your options I know before this digital academy was recommended to me by our daughters speech therapist I never knew it was even an option.

Homeschooling is great!  I have homeschool for two years going on.  I really enjoy it.  That I can be apart of that progress in my childrens lives.  Just seeing how smart kiids are.  It is amazing and at other times it can be tough.
Way to go that you find a way to teach your child life.  Parents this day didn't even know where their children be.  Homes school can be good but need to go out more for them to learn how life out there.

As a recently married person, I don't prefer homeschooling due to few reasons:

1. Children should mingle with other people out of our rationality. At school, we can people from different countries, race, ethnicity which we can't find at our home.
2. Children learn more by observing things. Lively teaching will not be there at home.
3. To be become a team player minimum group of students is required. They can not learn co-operation until they are with the same age group people. And also they will learn fast due to peer competition.

I think homeschooling is a good idea, with the way schools are today.

I was never home schooled, so I don't know what it's like.  I think kids need to be in school making friends.  Me, maybe I would have liked to be home schooled because I was shy in school and in the end, sad to say, I graduated with like barely any friends.  My boyfriend took up all my time, but that's who's going to be there for me in the end anyways.  He is now my baby's daddy and our 4 year anniversary is coming up next month.

I do not think that individuals that were homeschooled know how to deal with real-world situations or even how to deal with people in general.  Not a fan myself.

I think it can be a good experience but not for the whole process of school bc from experience the social aspect of going to a school is very important. Even after you  complete school some of those relationships continue

I think being homeschooled is a joke.  You don't have to keep the same pace as in real school. It's totally not fair.  Plus people who are homeschooled are socially undeveloped.  And once they start actual school, they'll probably give into peer pressure and mess up really badly.

    ;)  My personal opinion is "Homeschooling is great". Student-to-teacher ratio is much, much better than most of the schools and classroom settings. You need a knowlegable supervisor to check progress. Students can ask many questions and get very good answers.

My husband and I have been discussing the option of homeschooling our daughter.  I've been working as a substitute teacher for the past year, and I've been shocked at some of the things I've seen.  Our daughter will be two in September, so we've got some time to think about it, but I'm glad to read all the positive opinions on homeschooling.
