Are there dangers of home schooling your children?

Perhaps it is because it is easier to instruct your child in a controlled environment then it is to instruct other children in an over crowded classroom. Children that are home schooled by serious parents, are taught sometimes a more rigorous curriculum, or at the very least, equivalent subject matter as those that attend regular school. Parent ( s ) may offer more comprehensive instructions to ensure that their child understands each subject as it is being thought.

The only thing that a lot of home schooled children may lack in, is social interactions with other children. =P.

Because the public education system has a lot of flaws and problems...it's really easy for students who need a lot of help to slip through the cracks. It's also easy for students to get bored and give up because they aren't being challenged enough. Whereas when you homeschool, the curriculum can be tailored right to you: if you excel at something you can be given extra work without any problem, and if you need a lot of help you can have it without inconveniencing the rest of the class.

There is less peer pressure distraction, so it's easier to focus on your studies and not get all caught up in having a "social life" while you're supposed to be learning, and if you're a little weird you don't get stuck in the mire of constant ridicule. There are many reasons; I've only hit on a few. But statistics bear this one out.

Mind you, there are exceptions. Some homeschooled kids are pretty herp-derp-tastic because their parents either picked a really pathetic curriculum (they do exist...) or because their parents just couldn't cut it when it came to teaching. But that happens to public school kids too.

Ever read YouTube comments? Someone's writing those...someone who is in public school. Yikes.

EDIT >But I'm not interested in that. Everyone knows that data. What I want to see is how homeschooled children fare on a measure of social aptitude (specifically among their peers).

In my experience, the rates of social butterflies vs. awkward kids is about the same among homeschoolers as it is among those in public school. I went to public school for part of my education and was homeschooled for other parts, and I've worked a lot with kids and young teenagers through church ministries and events. There really wasn't a difference between the homeschooled kids as far as ability to interact socially was concerned, although I did notice that they seemed less inclined to form cliques and seemed less concerned about the age of the people they're hanging out with.

Some are shy; some are outgoing. Some are popular and some are bonkers.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
