what is better gettin homeschooled or goin 2 school???

Answer 1

I homeschooled this girl when I was17 and we were caught by her mom. It was embarassing, and I wasn't allowed to see her again.

We tried it at school and the only place we could do it was under the gym bleachers. But we had to do it quickly, which was hard to do because I can school her for hours...

As long as parents aren't around or definately at work, I prefer homeschool than school...

Answer 2

Homeschooling

Answer 3

It depends on the child, the family, the availabe schools...

My dh and I chose homeschooling because we were willing to take it on, wanted to have our children be close to us and are not happy with how the school system is designed here. We believe it's better for our kids to be homeschooled than at school.

However, I have met a couple of homeschooling families where I honestly wondered if it really was better for the kids...

Answer 4

I have homeschooled both my children. My oldest graduated this year, an is now working in a bank. She has great social skills and is planning on going to college. She has been in all kinds of sports, coached small children in bowling. They both have many friends, so I feel homeschool kids get just as much as regular school kids gets. I think they get more out of homeschooling, because they are able to expand in alot of areas.

Answer 5

"Pros & Cons" to both... Homeschooled children have a tendecy to be isolated, to a degree where their very shy.. then Public schools, have alot of "Peer-Pressures" whereas; the child who's homeschooled doesn't like the public school student does. Then you have not only the lack of social skills, with homeschooling, but, unless the parents are pysical people, and or put their children in sports of some sort, the child also lacks, getting their P.E... I had a friend who had homeschooled, both of her children for many years, and all of her friends and family members, always complained, that she was isolating them too much, and that they weren't getting the "Social-skills" or physical fitness part, that public schools offer, so she turned around and placed them both in sports, where they could be active & social at the same time, now she's very sick, with a "Deadly disease" so she had to place them in "Public schools" so she could get her rest, but what a "Culture shock" for them, after years of being home schooled, to switch to Public school.. but kids adjust pretty easily, in most cases, so they probably didn't have to hard of a time, I hope not, for their sakes, anyway.. I'd say there both good. So long as the parents put their kids in some kind of sports, for physical & social well-being, and inneraction, with other kids.. And the parents have to have, alot of "Patients" being around their kids 24/7. Thats another hard part, about homeschooling. But, then again if their "Hands-On" type of parents, they will become accustomed to always being around their children to a degree that they'd almost miss them, when they go to their sporting events, etc.. Its all good.. Smile!!!

Answer 6

In my opinion i think it depends on your school distract, if it is a bad one then i believe home school is a better place for children to learn. But like in my sons situation home school is much better. He is so much safer at home then he is at a public school. The school district here is horrible, mainly the junior high.I pulled my son out of school for the following reasons. Bomb threats, drug dealers, gangs and gang fighting, over crowded schools,,most students are in trailers. The teachers are over whelmed with the number of students in their classroom they cant give one on one teaching or even enough time to the classroom. No child can learn in a situation like that..But that is my reason for homeschooling my child..

Answer 7

someone else prolly already said this, but...
homeschooling teaches you to love to learn and to learn independently. you know the shirt that says "school sucks"? well, the chances are really good that it wasn't a homeschooler wearing it. the stupid excuse that homeschooling doesn't give you enough social life is totally idiotic. i'm involved in several groups, from 4H to concert and marching bands

Answer 8

I think it depends on each child's situation and condition. If it is not quite possible for the child to attend a normal school (i mean, going to a school here), for instance if he/she leads a very busy life (e.g. a child actor) or is he/she has problems with health, then it might be best to homeschool the child. But if the child does not have any of those problems, going to school might be a better option, since education isn't just about knowing mathematics, geography, etc. It's about learning how to interact with other people and dealing with social life's issues, as well =)

Answer 9

It may be possible to get a better education through home schooling but the student misses out on all the social interaction, both positive and negative, that occurs in a public school. That interaction includes with ones peers and with the teachers. There are also the activities associated with schools, such as sports, clubs, dances, elections, etc. It's a whole, valuable, education separate from the curriculum.

Answer 10

Each has it's pros and cons. It would depend a great deal on 1) the school district and school that the child would attend (quality) 2) the 'teacher' of the home schooled child and 3) the child

Answer 11

i had both and I'm very proud of the opportunities that both gave to me with homeschool you have your own schedule and can learn at your own pace and you are not constantly being evaluated and judged by other students although public school gives you the small taste of the real world you need in order to enter in. The question is do you want to be sheltered or be able to handle everyday situations as you grow up? In reality it would be better for you in the long run to go to public school in my opinion.
