Let me respond to these extremes, with other extremes:
I would want my future kids to have friends and join sports. I don't know if that's possible with homeschool.
Your kids prolly won't have friends at school and be tortured for it...
For 2 parent homes idk. School is an experience and damn near mandatory one. It's where you build social skills and learn how to be part of a society.
Same thing with a 9 to 5, but, most people hate their job and the people in it...
You don't care about your kids having friends and going through the ups and downs of social interaction?
Education doesn't make a person
Yes, because,
all the cool kids made it real well after graduation
Sidebar: Dude, I need to go in more threads you post in. I've never seen a person I disagree with more, so often. It's all love, though
I need to have my views challenged.
You have to let a kid be a kid and if you don't think the school is teaching them adequately, then tutor them at night to make up for that.
Wait, parent's don't have time to teach their kids, but, they have time to teach them, then, undo the stuff their learning?

Okay, this is a classic case of the "Fear of the Boogeyman." I'm sure most of ya'll don't even know any homeschooled kids. My aunt homeschools all three of my cousins. All of them are involved in their church (and I mean involved, a lot) and other "social" activity. They definitely enjoy it, too. They are way more socially developed than I was, at their age (8, 10, 16--that's about their ages) and I went to public schools.
Ya'll must live in a fantasy land where inadequate education isn't a problem. As a developed nation and supposed super power, USA has a horrible education infrastructure in relation to it's "Most Powerful Nation" title.
The U.S. was ranked 17th in an assessment of the education systems of 50 countries, behind several Scandinavian and Asian nations...
The U.K. was ranked 6th, followed by the Netherlands, New Zealand and Switzerland, respectively. Canada was ranked 10th, followed by Ireland and Denmark, respectively.
Australia, Poland, Germany and Belgium fared better than the U.S. on the top-20 list, which also included Hungary, Slovakia and Russia.
At the lowest end of the 50-nation list were Mexico, Brazil and Indonesia.
A wide range of education inputs, both quantitative data -- such as spending on pupils and class size -- as well as qualitative data -- such as level of school choice -- were examined along with numerous potential outcomes ranging from development of cognitive skills to GDP growth.
The report said that the success of Asian nations in the rankings reflects the complex impact each society's attitude toward education has in defining its effectiveness.
More important than money, say most experts, is the level of support for education within the surrounding culture. Although cultural change is inevitably complex, it can be brought about in order to promote better educational outcomes, the report said.
These are our future children, we're talking about; let's not go on "feelings." Let's research.
And don't talk about children's social interaction in school.
High school has the most toxic type of socialization; based on vapid pursuits like looks, clothes, who you're dating/sex, teams you play for, who your clique, etc. It isn't exactly healthy. And like I said; most ppl don't like the people at their job and they aren't they're parents.
And it get a bit
deeper;
all American public school do is, teach you to be a capitalist consumer. They teach us; college debt, then a 9-5 (that won't yield enough to pay that debt) is the only way to survive.
Not to mention the horrible nutrition. If my parents knew I ate 80% real (that couldn't have been real meat) sausage biscuits and honey buns for breakfast, everyday.
I definitely believe it should be looked into. The only excuse would be a single parent who can't find a job working from home. And that's makes family planning a bigger deal.
how dont you know this @ some of your classmates. Well it's like that in most of these schools. My lady is a teacher and the stories she tells me on a regular basis ... I aint putting my kids in that shyt
facts aren't necessary
