Homeschooling is not bad to do

Thank you. That can be true about the charts you have shown me, but it depends. "Online schoolers are behind those students who go to public school on average." We are not debating about Online school vs Regular School. That is out of the question. Online schooling is NOT, I repeat, NOT similar or in anyway alike homeschooling. That is something you should research and get straight. Also, homeschooling could be, the parents HIRE a teacher to come to their house and teach their child(ren) while they work or are simply gone to do other things. Mhm? "Kids are even more likely to fall behind in cyber school because there is no one there to motivate them" I guess we are going to talk about Online school. You sentence above is all false. "There is nothing or no one to motivate them"? Really? Maybe they, personally, are motivated. Any kid who decides to do online schooling, will more than likely WANT to or TRY to do there work opposed to regular school. You know the big, Vine Famous, Nash Grier? He is doing his work Online. This is a bad example, but Justin Bieber was homeschooled by a tutor while he toured America. AND HE TURNED OUT WONDERFUL??? DIDN"T HE?? Wait....don't use that as an example........aaa,,, Here are wonderful and socially great Boy Scout programs.

"Around 11% of parents who homeschool their children don't even have a high school diploma." Only 11%. The other percent they DO have diplomas. My parents did and MOST DO. And as I stated before, in my state of MAINE, the parent is required to send in an extensive amount of the info they have taught their child(ren)/teens. If they do not provide enough or a valid amount, they might be checked out or not allowed to teach their child. Many states have this law, but some do not, like New Jersey. And how some you keep saying Public school? What about private schools? Or do you mean "regular" school? I don't know, just wondering. Only 9 states that do not check on parents homeschooling status. Most of them have regulations. And, still, you insist a child most have social interaction with others. Does it really help him? Or can the unthinkable happen and he is bullied? A girl was killed in a car crash and photos of the crash by the Police were then "leaked" out onto the internet, being sent or emailed to thousands of people. The parents them decided to homeschool their "CHILDREN" in concern that images of the horrifying crash would not be flashed into their faces at school. In that case, homeschooling was the best bet. And you mentioned how i attacked your chart saying that I had no "abuse". Well, I didn't! I guess I am part of the 13% of homeschooled Americans who were lucky to not be abused. STILL, I do not see pure evidence in that chart nor shall I believe it. I REALLY cannot say, whether it is true or not. I don't know. You are coming up with every reason why homeschooling is bad and I am running out of words. You said again, "most parents who teach their kids do not 'even' have college degrees" THAT IS FALSE! That is a bad generalization. MOST PARENTS DO. I want evidence to prove that, s'il vous plait. Here is what I think about homeschooling. -A parent, or any parent can more than likely teach their children from Kindergarten up to 10th grade or even further if they wish. My parents decided to send me to regular school starting my sophomore year because they wanted me to get a "further" education. AND the real reason we wanted to do this was because I am interested in Arts, more specially, film and photography, and music. At home, that is something they said they could not teach film. (I am estimating that thought this going with the past that I have remembered) And this decision they made and that I have made too, was the best one ever because my experience at highschool will never leave my mind. Here's my personal story with homeschooling and my transfer to highschool. First, I was adopted from Europe by my parents and brought over to America years ago. I was about 5. I spoke no English at first but soon started speaking fluently in less than a year. That is how quick children's minds learn when they are young! Amazing, huh? So my parents decided to homeschool me because they wanted to spend more time with me because I had just come to America. And if they had directly put me into regular school, I might not have had as close of a bond with my family then I would have had being homeschooled. Then, when I joined highschool, I didn't like it. I missed homeschool so much, I even got teary eyed when I was given BIG amounts of homework, because homeschooling was not LIKE that. Hence highschool should cut down on all the homework. For days and weeks, I hated highschool and secretly wished to go back to homeschool. After months had passed on, I was used to high school and was succeeding. I got honor roll all trimesters of my school. (Most schools have semesters which is when they break up the year in four sections or 2. My school divided them into 3 sections, hence Trimesters.) At the end of my school year, my parents asked me if I would like to go back to homeschooling, jokingly, I responded with no and that I did not want to go back to homeschool. That is how much it has changed me. Also, it had brought out my character and made me more out-going. So in one sense, highschool, for some kids, might help a child, or it might not. For me, I was lucky and succeeded in highschool. And most of your evidence is correct with half of it not. Many homeschoolers are turned down in job applications which is discrimination. I even think the US Army did that which is IDIOTIC. There is this negative appeal people tend to think of homeschooled kids/teens. They think they are not educated enough. And this is incorrect. Homeschooling in the 21st Century is not homeschooling in the 20th Century. Homeschooling now as improved so much, you would not believe it.
