individual choice
i think that home schooling is a wonderful option for families that have the time, energy and resources to do. i have considered do so for my daughter, but since i am still considering options regarding her education, i am holding off on that.
for those parent who choose to home school, i think it behooves you to ensure that your child/ren receive a well-rounded education. the fact is, at its basic level, public/private education can provide a wealth of information and give kids the ability to learn academic and social skills they may have a hard time receiving at home. kids have to be socialized to deal with other people, learn how to deal with life's ups and downs and not be disillusioned that real world will be like the comforts of home.
if i do homeschool my kids, i will have them involved in extracurricular activities so they can have that peer interaction. to do otherwise will be setting my kids up for problems they didnt ask for.
how to educate your child is an individual/family choice. but it must be done having conducted all of the research and having fully committed to the process.
