Question

what happens to a person when they have been held back by their religious parents from the real world and home schooled their entire life? suddenly they are out there and this world is not at all what they knew! is there anyone who has been home schooled and then went out into the real world of work and education?

anyone?

Answer 1

i may as well have been homeschooled. a christian school with 5-20 students in any given year. when i went to a more normal school in highschool i didn't know how to act. i was a total outcast until i went to college where i actually had real friends and started learning what was and wasn't socially acceptable. as far as functioning in real life. no problem. had a great career for 7 years. then got married and started a family of my own.

Answer 2

I'm not religious, and I don't know what it has to do with home schooling. I think homeschool kids have a better chance at seeking and keeping a decent career. Teachers don't have a handle on kids like they did "back when". Kids are teaching kids bad behaviors at school, smoking, cursing, drugs, violence, etc... and the teachers just can't control everything. I think kids at home learn more about being a good worker - mom/dad is dedicating time for their studies plus running the house hold. I think they learn more that way and good family values than in the public schools where everything is open game. Just my opinion. Have a great day!

Answer 3

Well think about this. Both my parents are fundies. I have been homeschooled my whole life. I have been forced into the Christian religion. I go to church Sunday, Wednesday, Friday and sometimes Saturday. I can recite more of the Bible than most people I know.


And I am a pagan. I excel in science and English, and I have colleges trying to get me in early. So us smart ones exist, I promise. But the ones with enough backbone to silently rebel and take what has been given to us in stride are very few and very far between.

(Edit: I left out a few years I was in a Christian school, but I didn't even get an education, so I pretty much count those as non-schooling years.)

Answer 4

My ex was home schooled till she went to college. She is a wonderful, intelligent, funny, kind, loving person. Her parents are very religious. She went on to get an English degree and then an Electrical Engineering degree. She currently works at a major aeronautical company.

She wasn't cut off from the rest of society as home schooling has many support groups. She would often be with others of differing religious and cultural backgrounds on field trips, sporting events and social activities.

I'll admit that once she went to college she left Christianity and embraced the path of Wicca, but that can also be said of many that weren't home schooled.

I don't see an inherent problem with home schooling. A problem only arises when the parents impose unrealistic restrictions on their children. My ex and I had planned to home school our children when we had them. She's Wiccan and I'm atheist.

Answer 5

I have a very close friend who was home schooled from first grade until he got his diploma. His parents are fundamentalist Christians. He's now 24, living on his own, and attending a nice private college. He's thriving, actually, despite the fact that he is a bit shy and socially awkward. There are things that he just simply can't relate to (like high school experiences most people have as a common reference point), and some ideas about the world he's having to readjust and reexamine. But he's actually doing really well.

Answer 6

I think that the person's reaction to the real world would depend on whether their upbringing was centered on outward behavior or inward strength and character. If it's all about their behavior, then they're likely to 'go wild' in college when they no longer have their parents to watch them. But they've truly been taught good character traits and have inward strength, then they'll probably do fine.

I've been homeschooled in a Christian family, and I'm just starting to enter the 'real world'. So far I'm doing okay. I have decided to follow God my entire life, not just while my parents are watching.

Answer 7

i'm in all probability what maximum could evaluate a sort of loony religious mum and dad. If elevating my infants to admire their writer, their fellow people, and nature is faulty, then i assume i'm justly accused. My son, who has in no way attended public college, is 17. We began his training in July of his seventh 12 months, (following examine that shows that childrens who're knowledgeable early of their lives, on an analogous time as excelling for the 1st few years, oftentimes burn out later, and are much less in all probability to end severe college or circulate to college.) while he became into 15, he took his ACT and have been given a 23, this is interior the right 25% of all graduating seniors in accordance to the ACT letter we won, a feat he carried out 2 years previous to his of entirety of high school (one 12 months early, i'd upload). he's now enrolled to start college this autumn, has many buddies, a job, and a female pal who's additionally beginning college after her mum and dad abode schooled her for the scale of her training. I even have related a hyperlink that might assist you to understand the data in the back of the academic success maximum pupils schooled at abode gain. And sure, you are the terrific option, maximum folk of homeschooled infants are from mum and dad who're religious, yet with the deterioration of the common public college equipment, extra mum and dad are protecting their infants abode to coach them that are actually not extremely religious,yet decide on the terrific for his or her infants.

Answer 8

LOL! Homeschooled kids are sought out by a lot of colleges. They score higher on exams than public school children and some from private schools, too.

They are involved in play groups. sports teams, and Sunday school classes. When they're old enough, they often do volunteer work and take part time jobs.

I really don't think you need to worry about homeschooled children.

Answer 9

Answer 10

i was homeschooled til 6th grade...

it just takes a while to adjust to people, and you start out kinda fake before you really find yourself. and most people who've been sheltered all of their life go really crazy and rebel.
