Homeschool.
I can't speak for others here but went to Electronics school at the age of 12, was first published at the age of 16, began making 16mm sound films at the age of 19 and then got stuff on television and radio. I've been working with computers since I was 8 and programming since 1993 on a commercial basis.
They areas I'm weak in we can learn together and maybe I'll get them this time, because you can take longer than 20 weeks and don't get a C or D because you didn't fully learn.
As for interacting with people, that's what a neighborhood and park is for. And you can watch who the interact with to make sure it's not druggies or gang members who are responsible for the metal detectors in schools.
YOu also face less of a chance of a Columbine occuring at home.
The fact of the matter is I'm familiar with both New York State and California State public schools and only 5-10% do above the 80 percetile level and most of them are Persians and Asians. Everyone else is below the 60 percentile level -- including the whites!
NY almost junked the 2004 or 2005 Regents Math test because EVERYONE failed it.
LEt's get that clear, something like 65-75% of ALL students in NY didn't meet the minimum passing level for the NY State MAth Regents.
Now, maybe there are some isolated rural or suburban districts doing better, but as a whole the URBAN centers are in horrible shape and have been this way since about 1970.
MY high school in Californa, Monroe, lost it's acreditation.
Every school in Los Angeles now has metal detectors in the Secondary level and some are starting to install them in the Elementary level!
Out here in Upstate NY they'ave closed down schools -- in areas ranked as the #2 and #5 SAFEST places to live in the US -- several times in the last two years for someone bringing a gun to school.
Oprah just did a report on Public Schools in WASHINGTON DC in which the roofs have been leaking and the bathrooms closed down for 8 years because there is no funding to fix these things.
This is the Capital of the US!
It's also an all black area and everyones knows you don't fund black schools!

Well I go to a private school, but if I had to choose I think it would depend on the age. I went to public school in elementary and that was cool. I heard bad things about middle school though. (of course it depends on the actual school) but I would say public for high school. That way you can enjoy playing the sports or going to the games, learning better social skills and learning who you are, and of course opportunities for college like scholorships that you dont get with homeschool. Plus having a graduating class. I think I would miss a lot in hs if I was homeschooled

Well I went to private school 1st-12th, so I don't have a lot of first-hand knowledge of public schooling. I know they offered a much broader range of courses than my school, and exposed you to people of all backgrounds. I feel that my school didn't really prepare me for the "real world" in terms of dealing with different people. And those I've known who were home schooled were at more of a disadvantage than I. They had a certain naivete and inability to relate with their peers. This is probably because most that I knew that were homeschooled were brought up that way because their parents wanted to "protect" their kids from the regular trials and tribulations of growing up, and were brought up in horribly oppresive, religious homes. I think that every child should be exposed to LIFE and not have everything spoonfed to them. If a child is unable to cope in a public school, there are plenty of alternatives available.

Public/Private school 100%. As much terror as there is out there, school is the best place for a child fundamentally. They are able to create some degree of social environment but learning to talk and relate to other kids in the classroom, there's more exposure to germs, which as much as you dont want to think about it, is actually good for the child's growing immune system. And helps with college applications if the child has had college prep from high school, and activities associated with the high school. Not to mention, when sent to college, the child wont be impaired from the lack of a social structure from being "hidden" from society.

With the way public schools are today. I definitely prefer homeschooling, however there's a lot of responsibility that comes with homeschooling a child.

I debated homeschooling my now going to third grader. I usually wish I would have. Now it would be hard she loves school. But I really don't like some of the things kids at school teach her. The education is great. But so wish some parents out there cared a little more about there children.
I would have to answer with homeschool. If I had to do it all over again.
