What are your opinions on homeschooling?
My opinion: Both have pros and cons.
I have heard that homeschooled kids are often better academically and more intelligent compared to average students. But they have bad social skills and have a lot of anxiety.
In normal school, you might have better social skills for sure. And you might grow up good if you don’t get influenced by the rotten people at school and if you don’t get into drugs or stuff due to peer pressure. But that’s IF YOU DON’T GET INTO THESE. If you get into these, good luck getting outta these. And there’s the concern of getting bullied too…
So I personally think homeschooling might be a better choice.
I have two homeschooled nieces. Their biggest strength is that they “like to dance”. Honesty, these girls are screwed and the world is going to grind them up as soon as they have to survive on their own.
Let your kids learn from professionals. This is like you expecting to be able to be a good accountant with no training.
Let your kids learn about social pressure and stress with easy kid problems, don’t let their first experiences be as an adult with no coping skills.
Parents overestimate their ability to be a good teacher.
I’ll just leave you with this.
i have a friend who has her EdE. her profession before she had kids was teaching PhDs how to teach their collegiate classes better. She had kids and decided to homeschool them. That lasted four years. Why? One simple truth: She is not an elementary educator. She is a graduate educator. One of the smartest people i know, all her kids are brilliant. They could probably graduate high school when they turn 12 if they did homeschooling, but instead they are getting to be children and it only took her 4 years to realize how important that is.
