to home school or not to home school

Do you plan to home school your children?
Why or why not?

 

When I do have a kid I would not what him/her to be home schooled not that I have anything against it for the parents that decide to have there kids home schooled I just don't that for mine. I feel that if a kid is home schooled they will be missing out on alot in there childhood such as interacting with other kids, school dances, school sports and so many other things that a kid should experience in there life.

 

No, I want them to be in regular school. I want them to have friends n' shit. As much as I hate all 13 years of school, I had a damn good time because of friends(and field trips).

 

Definitely Not Home Schooling....Children should learn in an environment away from home. Many fond memories I have from school.

 

No, I'd like to send them to school. I think they need the social interaction....

 

School is about so much more than just learning to read and write. Home schooling without genuine necessity is denying your kids a WHOLE lot of valuable life experience.

 

School, but only in Sweden.

 

I want my son to be in a school setting with other children for his interpersonal and social development. In addition, I will provide a rich home enviornment for him (or her someday) to learn beyond the school setting with others. Life-long learning must be emphasize. There are several kinds of learning a parent must take hold of for their children to be complete human beings.

 

I would home school if possible. I think I could do more for my kids education than the school systems right now. One thing that I noticed while growing up is I didn't like the pace the teachers taught. Some subjects like math and reading took no time to master but certain subjects like Chemistry and Earth Science required a little more time. As far as interaction with other kids I think sports and after school activities will be good for that. The only time I really interacted with kids when I was young was recess and lunch time. The nuns kept it pretty strict otherwise. No talking unless spoken to kind of environment.

 

Damn, that sucks.

 

Yes and no. Every single kid I went to school with went to college and works. I think I'm doing the worst out of my class right now so it has its pros and cons like public school. I did envy all the amazing programs you guys had.

 

I think my private school had just as pany programs and such as my public school, if not more.

 

That's cool. I'm sure my old school does too at this point but when I was in hs we didn't get to do internships or college tours.
