My siblings and I (all 6 of us) were homeschooled and I'd like to think that we turned out pretty well. My brother is in the Air Force Academy, I'm just about done with college and already have experience running a business, and my sister will finish high school and her AA at 18.
Above all else homeschooling taught me to manage my own time and learn how to teach myself.
Even though it worked out well for my family, I wouldn't recommend it to everyone. My mom stayed home to teach us, and both of my parents had degrees. My mother was a chemist and my father was an engineer, and we also had a network of other families to fall back on. For example, we would go to a friend's house for English class, since her mom majored in it.
We also had sports and plays. Since we were a part of a homeschool organization we were able to put together a team and play against other organizations, or set up a play. The argument that homeschooled children don't get enough socialization isn't necessarily true.
- thismat 18y agoAgreed. I remember the home school community we were part of, and it was a blast. Not to mention that you can normally join in your local districts sports, or play in sanctioned independent leagues.
