Home school vs Public school

I would home school your children if you are able to especially if the school are not that good. I think that kids can learn more at home without all of the distractions of the other students. Also you can give them a good foundation for when they do go to school.

I am homeschooled, and I have to tell you it is a wonderful thing to do. I love it! And I have been to public school before, where the schools were pretty bad.

I think you should sent your kids to public school because in public school there are a lot of teacher that is experience. But, if your kids had a home school, I think they will boring. Sure that I say because I had an experience at home school. So, is better you sent your kids to public school.

Well, I would say depending on where you live to homeschool. I homeschool my 3 children, although I personally don't want them attending any public school, "good" or not. Homeschooling takes time and dedication, but it is also very rewarding as you personally direct your children's education. I know you said your plan was to homeschool so you probably already know, but www.hslda.org has some great starter points, and a listing of the laws for each state.

i dont think its a good idea to home school your kids...being a student myself...there's nothing better than school life...you learn so many things over there besides knowledge..you learn how to make friends co-operate etc...in short social skills...so its beder if u send them to a school maybe even a better one further away...

i suggest that you put and let your child be in a public school, even though the educational standard is not that good.....at least your child be socialize......learn how interact with different kids..........anyway if you have time at home you can review your child and even teach your child advance lesson, lessons offered in a private school.......................

In any case you have to look after the intrest of your child first. If a better school is in a reachable distance, better to go there.You can think of even shifting your house to another place where sood schools are available.Home schooling is any way required. But ensure that your child does go to some school, then only the child will have the oppertunity to move with children of equal age limits.

I do not like home school or public school. I think private school is the best.

Regardless of which you chose, The one major thing to remember is to have your children involved in all sorts of after school programs and activities like sports, and dance. ESPECIALLY if they are homeschooled, this will still allow them to gain the socializing they will need later on in life, and with out it, they wont be able to handle themselves as well around their peers, and may end up being in the shadows the rest of their lives. Having contact with Kids are crucial, however they also need an education that will allow them to grow and develop not hinder them. If the public schools arent to your liking, go with your gut instinct, becaue those are the type of kids your child would have daily interaction with, and be most heavily influenced by. So chose what the mother in you feel is best for your children. :)

By all means, home school your children. The public schools not like they used to be, there is too much secularism, pray and even talking about God is not allowed. There are good information about home schooling on the internet and resources to help you. You can find a good private school, but that costs money and sometimes people home school because of the cost, so it may be that you may be able to let your children to a private school when you can afford it. The benefits of home schooling and private schooling, I heard, are identical.

I homeschooled my daughter for 6 years and she seemed to learned more than she was in public schools. I homeschool her because the teacher wasn't teaching anything and I felt that she was behind but when we started homschool it was alots of fun and she even got social life with this homschool programs.

If you think the schools are that bad you should consider homeschooling. I moved when my children were in elementry school and didn't like the school where we moved. I stared home schooling my children and continued to do so until we moved back home and they decided they wanted to go back. If your realy interested there is a whole network. Do some research on it and you will find a lot of things your children can do with other children. Good luck.

If you have the time and patience, home schooling can be a great experience- for the whole family really. I love home schooling. Our schedules are more flexible, our son can spend as much time as he needs on a subject and we can move along to new things whenever we choose. There are some downsides. I don't get as much time away from him as I did when my older children were in public school. Keeping the house neat & tidy is a bit harder. But for me, those aren't big problems.

As a home school parent, let me tell you that if you feel that your children should be home schooled, DO IT! Do not let anyone tell you that you can't or that it is too hard or that the kids will miss out on things, etc. I have heard it all, but for three years we have had a fabulous relationship and so many learning experiences that I can't imagine how I used to know what was going on with them when they were in public schools. I was very nervous about home schooling them but I must say that I believe that I chose what was best for my kids and they are much better off than before. It is hard work and all, but it is worth every minute of it. Take field trips too. A day to the park can be a great learining experience! I work outside the home too and we still have plenty of time for school!
