I think there are several reasons. I know there are several possible answers to this question. I think most will revolve around: (1) religion, (2) that public schools do not do a good job of teaching; (3) that parents are scared of the influence of other students; (4) that parents are trying to protect their kids from anything negative (ie: overprotecting their kids). I taught public school for 30 years, and am a strong proponent of public education. I know many pro's and con's of public schools, but I think many parents are perhaps misinformed or misguided or led by media reports to think that public schools are somehow very bad. I think they are very good, and offer many opportunities not available to the homeschooled kids. I do not care if you agree or disagree, I just would like to hear some truthful reasons from home-schooling parents. Others may also join in. I will make no judgement of you, I just want to know the answer to this question.

Thomas Edison spent 3 months in school. His mother went in to discuss some of the problems. She disliked the teacher so much, she pulled Thomas from school.

She taught him to read, write and do math then left him to study what he wanted on his own, with some guidance. While some may say, "But she had been a school teacher!", please remember that there was no training for teachers back then. They simply taught they way they were taught, for the most part, and could become teachers often as young as 15 or 16. Also, she only did the early teaching and he learned independently after that on a wide variety of subjects.

Guided gently by his parents but still left to choose what he studied, he ended up studying lots of literature, history and science. When he discovered scientific works no school would ever have taught from, he became hooked.

Only difference with me is I'm going to be home schooled once again except when I go to a community college twice a week to study astronomy. I have the text book for that advanced class. Its a piece of cake!! I am home schooled 4 hours daily plus on Wednesday & Friday afternoons I'm at the college. Hope the college girls are ready for me! Hope they have plenty of Tic Tacs.

I've noticed a couple of people recommending Robinson -- and I was wondering if you are just satisfied users or reps for the company. If you are a satisfied costomer, would you state a couple of reasons?

If you are a rep, would you please email me?

Thanks.

Why are people so judgemental to us home schoolers.Studies show that home schoolers are actually better at socializing then public or private students,and we get better scores on SATs then public/private students.I'm 14,and have been home schooled my entire school life,and will be untill 12 grade,and I can only think of pros to homeschooling.I also have friends,both my age and adult,so,why do people not like us?

I took a easy Alegebra 2 class last school year and my teacher didn't do so good. He was too kind and boosted my grade up even though I tried. What should I expect going into Pre Cal? Is it going to be really hard that I may fail because I'm not smart enough. I do my best, but sometime these teachers show no mercy and give hard work. I want to know the hard parts of this subject.

This is my first year trying to home school two kids at the same time. One is in second grade, the other in Kindergarten. It seems as though I'm never able to finish with the second grader so I can work with the kindergartener. I'd love some HELPFUL suggestions.

My step-daughter just moved to live with her mother that she hasn't lived with in over 6 years. Her mom started her on the K-12 program because she didn't want to take her to school. Now my step-daughter just tells me she does nothing. We live 6,000 miles away and are moving there in 2 months but until then I would like some info from people who actually have experienced the program. I have been to the website, but I would like actual true stories. Please Help! Thanks to all serious answers! : )

My students use a self-teaching method. We use the Robinson Curriculum CD's for our material. We follow the course of study. Our school day lasts anywhere from 4 to 6 hours. After academic studies are complete we have a very busy day with work, chores, games, friends, clubs, teams, hobbies, crafts, etc.....
