Are you speaking on behalf as a parent of homeschooling or a student that was homeschooled?
I’m sad to hear that you feel it was a punishment either way. Everyone has different experiences and opinions.
Most people I speak to about homeschooling loves or loved it. Nowadays I speak to more and more people who wished they would have homeschooled their kids a lot sooner.
Yeah for many public school can be one of the most dangerous places to send your kids from the other students and the mentality of school towards kids. Homeschooling has its advantages in that aspect but its very time intensive and shouldn't be done unless you have the support necessary to. In my case I was limited by one parent household and moving every 3 months but there were up sides also to many of those experiences.
Yes very true. That was one of the reasons we decided to homeschool along with some things that are taught in public school goes against our beliefs.
This 👆🏽 is why I am grateful for people that get groups together to support one another. It is a very hard job to do alone (not impossible though) and having that extra support helps a ton! I’m not sure if I would do this as a single parent because of how tough it could be, it does helps having more than one parent available.
I can imagine how at times it was frustrating and difficult for you. I am glad to hear you did take away some advantages though :)
Thanks for the conversation ~
