1260869 2012-02-24 00:24:00 I hate the idea. Unless you live somewhere remote.

It's not just about the learning - it deprives the kids of company, friends, socialisation all that....

1260870 2012-02-24 00:24:00 We don't as the kids aren't school age yet :D and won't be either but my sister homeschools her kids.
She is a trained teacher so I guess she knows what she's doing. :)
Why do you ask?

1260872 2012-02-24 00:25:00 I'm finishing my schooling at home. I will never step into a school again. Too many bad memories. goodiesguy (15316)
1260873 2012-02-24 00:36:00 The home school curriculum actually has many outside components where all the home school people in an area get together and take the kids out to places, such as the sanctuary where my wife works, the local airport etc so they actually do get a lot of interaction with other kids. However unless you are a trained teacher then I think its a bad idea.

I mean I have a trade but that doesn't mean I can teach that trade to someone else as well as someone who has trained to teach that trade and done the trade, same with teaching kids to drive we can all drive but most of us are crap at teaching our kids to drive

1260874 2012-02-24 00:39:00 Bullying, harrasment, fear............social rejection.

continued vocal harassment during school time, between class's, after school, accused, accosted and belittled, vicious rumours in all secondary schools.
mental state of child, and physical state of child deteriating, self harm happening due to constant school stress.

That enough reasons?
