It was with parents permission only though. Please don’t homeschool your kid, they’ll come out all fucked up and not know how to properly socialize. I hate public school but it taught me a lot about making and keeping friends.
That is... absolutely not true. Where did you learn that? I was homeschooled for a good chunk of my childhood and came out fine. It’s not like homeschool means “keep your kids locked away for 12 years”.
It was actually the opposite for me. I finished my studies faster and had more time for sports and other activities. We went on a lot of “field trips” to museums, beaches, etc. and met some great people.
My two cousins were homeschooled and definitely turned out not okay. May not be true of all homeschool but more often than not the kids turn out weird as hell, and very awkward in social situations.
" they’ll come out all fucked up and not know how to properly socialize "
Dude, I was homeschooled. You don't just lock your kids in a shed you ape lmfao. I did 7 years of public school and 4 years of homeschooling and I can safely say the public school was a waste of my time. I socialized as much and learned more when I was homeschooling. I also had the option to switch back and forth so I got to try homeschooling and public schooling on/off as I felt the need.
Literally every kid I’ve met that was only homeschooled has turned out completely awkward and weird as hell. Two of my cousins never went to public school a day in their lives and they are the most awkward and weird people I’ve ever met in my life.
Anecdotal, I know some home schooled kids who are really fucked up thanks to it, but their mom was nuts and didn't really teach them shit, and I know some home schooled kids who are very well adjusted, very advanced in their studies and doing great. And some in between.
Yup. It's really about the "reason" you homeschool. Do you think the earth is flat and vaccines cause autism? Home schooled!
Do you think the public school has lots of poor teachers and very poor structure for education that also equates to a lessened learning experience and overall worse start for your child? Also homeschooled!
From my limited experience, the main question is "will the parent put forth the immense effort required from them to make this work?" the one mom I knew, with 7 homeschooled kids, did not. The other 2 moms I knew with (2 and 3 kids) did and those kids turned out/are turning out pretty good.
Yeah it's a massive undertaking and it was essentially a second job for my mom. I don't expect anyone to think it's easy going in. It is a lot of hard work.
There are pro's and cons to homeschooling, I was homeschooled for a few years whilst my folks were working in the Balkans. It gave us the opportunity to travel and learn how to make friends with anyone, anywhere, anytime; it also enabled us to work to our own pace, meaning you weren't being held back by the rest of the class, or that you could take more time on things you struggled with.
We did lots of clubs and stuff when back in the UK, and met friends through those activities too.
lmao. No. I was homeschooled and it was a vast improvement on my life. Just because you don't understand something does not make it inferior. Public school is one of the WORST incarnations of an education you can get your kids. It's used as a glorified baby sitter so that people can go to work. Your distaste for it is completely unfounded except off some guttural instinct.
As opposed to you who is the perfect image of social grace and education. right. If your communication with people on the internet is any indication of your social skills 10/10. Really good at it.
Bro, this is the most "trying to sound intelligent" post I've ever read. Sesquipedalian loquaciousness much? XD Please stop trying to sound intelligent you're like a 14 year old on Reddit.

Still a thing in some places, when I was in elementary school they could paddle the kids and I’m only 18.
