Hmm... interesting. We've homeschooled for the past 6 years, although our two sons are now in a co-op school. Our eldest is scoring above average in all subjects, and has skipped two grades in math. He also has no problem socializing at school. Maybe I should post an ad for home root canals now?

I was homeschooled throughout highschool. Later on when I found out some of the things that happened at the highschool, I was so glad I was not there to be part of it.

The only bad part about home schooling is the fact of not getting to work on your public social skills.

That's a myth. My homeschooled sons have experienced more socially than I ever did as a public school student. It all comes down to the child and parents.

Public school, private school, homeschool... they can all produce great results or very poor results. There are a lot of factors that need to be considered instead of just stating that one method is superior over all others.

Congratulations. The original poster asked our thoughts, I gave mine. Glad that it has worked out well for your children. Let me know how the root canal works out for you.....

Partially depends on the child wether they are out going or not. I'm just lookin at the view of if the child is one who keeps to themself.

well in the case of my son home schooling is a much better option because of his education placement and the poor attutude from school officials on his case, but due to my seperation and stuff it is not possible to homeschool at this time.
