I would say that homeschooling is better than traditional schooling, but it really lacks the freedom, responsibility, independence, and socializing that Sudbury schooling has to offer. A good article trumpeting this up is http://blog.sudburyvalley.org/2014/02/sudbury-schools-unschooling-with-babysitting/ http://blog.sudburyvalley.org/2014/02/sudbury-schools-unscho...
