I was homeschooled for several years, and I completely agree with PeeNutButtHer, it should be illegal. Except for particular circumstances with a limited timeframe, I think it’s abusive.
Honestly the education part isn’t even the issue. It’s the socializing. Public school forces you to be around hundreds of kids your own age every day for several hours and that’s incredibly important. And it’s important that they be away from their parents for that time.
No matter what you do, no amount of extracurricular or homeschool specific activities will make up for the amount of socializing you have to do in school. I joined public school halfway through high school because i was so lonely and depressed, and while it was the best decision i ever made, i basically had to force myself to learn how to talk to people at 16.
Do not homeschool your children.
Same, and agreed
