As long as your parents are helping and monitoring what you do, I don't see a problem with it. There should be structure to your day too, not just do it when you feel like it. Hopefully they are allowing you to have social opportunities too.

It's not the same as school!
I think it's a good way to stay out of trouble , but I would imagine it would be hard not being able to interact with kids so its easier to deal with them later in life
.
Lady Wood - I agree. :)

Well guys, I'm off to bed. Goodnight!
Under the right circumstances and the right curriculum it can be a great experience.
I think if you live close to a fairly large city, it's great, because there are homeschool groups you can get involved with. for girls and boys out in the country, or as I like to put it: In the middle of nowhere, it's not so good. I'm currently homeschooled and hate it, because I'm stuck out in the back country also known as southern IN.
I think for some people it is a great option. My husband is retired Army and though we didn't have kids, many of our friends did. Homeschooling was a great option because they moved so often it kept continuity in their education.
I think as long as your learning the right things then its great and it seams like a good way to stay out of trouble
As long as you're learning but also have a social life, there's nothing wrong with it. ;o
i homeschool, its a lot harder to focus, and we never get to see anyone and im almost always sad but i try not to show it my mom thinks its cool but i dont enjoy it but i dont wanna make her feel like its bc of her....so i dont tell her how i really feel about it...
I'm homeschooled and I believe it has given me good family time and, considering I'm learning at home, it has taught me to willfully and ambitiously learn on my own even during off school hours. But don't get me wrong, public school can be good, too!
I couldnt leave without my friends ... So it would be hard just studying all alone ...
If your home schooled or you have kids that are home schooled of course your going to lean more towards it homeschooling. I think it's very important to go to a traditional school to get social interaction that will prepare us for work and other crap

Regarding learning with distractions, that's a personality matter. People are under the impression that everyone needs to keep the same pace as each other and anyone who can't learn like everyone else should be changed or labeled LD. The truth is some people can't learn with distractions—public schooled or not—and no one can change that. It's just them.

Can you explain what you mean by "learning on a different level" and "It's not only the classroom aspect, it's the time in the halls, the lunch break, recess, after school activities"?
I am not saying homeschooling can't work. It's just that I choose to give my children what I feel is a better experience for them.

Kuu, what are now friends were once random people. I had to meet them as strangers. To make a friend you need to maintain contact and be supportive and I believe I've done that with many people. But none of them will do me as much good as my family who give me ambition and independence. I hope I'm not bragging but all my life I've only became better and better at socializing and I'm confident that when I go into the "real world" I'll do just fine, socially.
.
I understand what you mean in your last paragraph. It's hard to compliment one thing without insulting the other. But I won't get mad at anything you say as long as you're sincere about it. :)
it is good for learning, but you dont get much social development...
I think that I turned out pretty well :) but it's not for everyone
Its ok but my mom is overprotective so i dont really have a social life :(
It can be fun at times. I was practically home schooled through out most of my life.
Probable 100x better then other school... I don't need to know that Melissa gained 5 pounds or that Brandon did drugs... It seems like homeschooled kids get a little more choice in what they study... A school teacher is only teaching for money... And doesn't really care about the kid later in life she/he just wants to get them past their class and away... I'd do ANYTHING to be homeschooled...
I have a few friends who are home schooled and it really works for them. As long as it works for you it's great, just make sure you also get out there and do sports and things like that to make friends (that's how i met my friends.)
It's okay, I have been homeschooled for a while now. It has ups and downs. Downs, I don't have a real teacher so I don't get the same marks, which makes it more complicated when who ever comes to look over what you have done and make sure you are learning. People say that home schooling makes you less social, and that is true up to a point, I wasn't ever really a social butterfly in school either and I thought school was about education, not making boyfriends. And I'm not completely cut off the the world (no matter how hard I may try) I still go to classes and groups for homeschoolers. Ups, I am less distracted when trying to study, my room is like my own little world, were I control, almost, everything. There's no one cracking jokes, passing notes, texting or whispering. When you are not understanding something in school you can't say much, other wise you slow everyone down. Homeschooled you focus a bit more on what you need more understanding on. Maybe I miss a few things from school, but homeschooling seems better. It probably changes per student on which is more effective.
People still like to sterotype Homeschooling if they don't know much about it... I can see both sides of the issue since I still Substitute Teach occasionally. Some students flourish in a different envioronment, and isn't that what it's all about after all is said and done? I feel that more and more Parents whether Secular or Religious are choosing Homeschooling for different reasons. I think it's the wave of the future, Online Homeschooling and Online College.... It's becoming very popular fast...
Keep thriving....;)
Homeschooling is fantastic. Yes, they will get their social skills eventually. And they won't be bullied or learn bad habits from the other kids. Gee, what ever did we do in America before public school? Hmmmm. And who won the huge spelling bee contests. Hmmmm.
Our child was homeschooled, and was doing great, but has ADHD, so it got a bit over our heads. So if you have a special educational need child, go that route.
Someone says homeschooling i think: what about my friends?!!!! I need them! And what about field trips! And clubs! Dont homeschool me! I enjoy school!
