What are your thoughts about homeschooling?

I am a homeschooling mama who just finished our nineteenth year of homeschooling. My first totally homeschooled child about to start his last year of law school at Virginia law. Another child is about to start his second year of college at the University of Texas in Austin. A grown daughter who only homeschooled a few years is a paralegal. I have another grown son who works in an organic butcher shop. I began homeschooling because of the things my oldest daughters were exposed to and did because of the horrible moral climate in public schools. We tried private Christian schools for a while, but they are terribly expensive and not a whole lot better. So I brought the older ones home, and we began our homeschooling adventure (I have ten children, seven biological, three young ones adopted from the foster care system) There are many public school teachers in my family who said my children would not be socialized, would miss out on a lot and not be normal, would never get a good education, etc. etc....My children have surpassed their children in all those areas! It just took a lot of years for the fruit to show. I stayed strong against all the opposition, and am so GLAD I did! We use the Robinson curriculum - you can find that online - and our school never lasts more than two hours a day. I am a homemaker and wife as well as a school teaching mom, and I have a lot of things to do!

Mathamatic, science and language are not only things to learn. a child should learn to cope with other people. so school is the suitable place for learning. So think twice before deciding. My daughter is so good in studies. but in every report I saw one line:her friend circle is not enough. hear in Germany that is very important than text books and lessons.

well as long the student doesnt feel that its a vacation then yes. But i think going to school is really much better than homeschooling. Socializing with other people is not something you learn at home.
