 Re: Homeschool | |
A lot of parents who homeschool make a point of having their kids involved in other activities.
I was never homeschooled, but would've been a prime candidate for it. I was good student academically, but I was bullied a lot. You can argue that staying home wouldn't have taught me social skills, but I stayed in school and things never got any better. College was great, but middle school through all my high school years was a nightmare.
Being homeschooled would have been a much better option for me. I still could've participated in band (my passion) without all the bullying.
For me, homeschooling would definitely have been fair.
There have also been studies on the issue of sociability and homeschooled vs regular schooling. Home schooled kids get along with others as well as regular schooled kids do. There really isn't any difference...except maybe when it comes to class reunions, which some of us never attend anyway. |
