Home Schooling

My daughters are home-schooled and socially they have alot of friends and are doing quite well. What do you say to people who say "she should really go to high school, she is going to miss so much" this one person bugs me about it all the time. so sick of listening to it! Need a good comeback for her for next time!

I think that all children are unique. In the public school system some, not all, children get eaten alive by their peer group. It crushes the "uniqueness" out of them. Most homeschool parents choose not to have only the socialization that public school provides. If anything peer pressure causes undesirable behavior such as drugs, alcohol, sexual experimentation, bad attitudes by those children they are socializing with. If children do not bend to the will of the more popular opinion they are made fun of, called names, bullied and just made to feel miserable. And everything that is unique about your child is crushed and broken because of this. I have seen it many times before in the public school system. Homeschooled children not only interact with their peers but with older, younger, white, black, hispanic, poor, rich, disabled, ect. They are more able to socialize much better with the public than other children that were schooled publicly. Not social misfits at all.

I'll start: My four children have been educated at home since birth. We began home-schooling K-12 with each one as they were ready --- some at 4 yr and some at 6 yr. I personally know over 100 home-educated children.

My 9 year old hates school. He was fine in kindergarten and 1st grade. He always says he hates school. He goes to Jefferson Elementary in south Natomas. I see a bad trend starting here and don't want him ruined by the public school system with their rules, regulations, comforming ways, inflexibility, and wanting children to sit there all day and not get fidgity, all closed up in a hot room all day long. His teacher tells me every time he "does not do his work in class", among other things. I am seriously considering homeschooling him hoping this will give him more choices to learn what he wants to learn at his own pace. I think I can do it since I work part time. Are my reasons valid? He is great in math and reads well, he is good on the computers too and I thought online learning might be good for him. Please only serious replies respond. Thank you.

I'm looking for a list of books appropriate for a precocious nine year old with a reading level of a seventh grader. The important thing is that the books not veer into topics that require the emotional maturity of a twelve year old.
