And, to be clear, I'm not saying there aren't legitimate reasons to home-school nor that it can't be done well.
Heck, I'd even say that after essential skills like reading are mastered, homeschooling can lead to great results.
A lot of that depends on the motivation (or lack thereof) of the parents.
- slashdev 3y agoI think it also depends on the kids. After about grade 4 my parents were mostly hands off with our schooling. We followed the program and phoned or emailed the teacher when we had questions. Our parents just made sure we were working. My mom helped us with our grammar and spelling. Some years we had trouble with that and got behind and had to work through the summer holidays. Buy some kids just won’t work if you’re not right behind them every day making sure they work. Others would struggle with direction in that kind of environment. My brother tried to homeschool his kids, but it didn’t work out.
