Actually, the thing is “we don’t want our kids being socialized like they are being in public school” - being told to do any type of sexual activity you want at any time., etc.

For everyone saying home-school is bad: I was home-schooled up until sophomore year and decided to go to public school, but it was extremely easy. I was shocked at how dumb everyone acted, and how childish everyone was. I was also bored with how easy the work was, and I knew everything. I finished that year top of the class and got many awards, and was a favorite of all the teachers and kids; but I was also feeling bad for every kid in the building that was struggling to even get C’s or B’s..when that work is so easy and not demanding at all. Plus, they only socialize with other kids their age because all their life they’ve only socialized with kids in a class room for 8 hours a day. Never making relationships with anyone else. Never learning how to make relationships with adults. All they did was play on their phones, and avoid conversations that actually had purpose. I went back to home-school the next year, and I’m now a senior as well as taking freshmen college courses. I’m so glad I was home-schooled and had a chance to be myself, never dealing with pee pressure, or people judging me. I made REAL friendships, not just friends with the kids I was forced into a class with as a 6 year-old. I also have had more time to volunteer at nursing homes and animal shelters, which is always great. I’m a good athlete, have been on a swim team since 9 years old, and I went to state champs. I’m also a musician, and can play 10 different instruments, write songs, and much more. I’m in a college symphony, playing violin and I sometimes accompany on piano. I lead worship for the youth group at my church, and I help with children’s ministry on Sunday. So, I really don’t see why home-school is bad, or weird.

Oh man, let me tell you, I wish I was like you; that is, I wish I could've stayed homeschooled, but in a sense. I wouldn't give up the life I have now, only because of the relationships I've made. If I had stayed homeschooled, I agree, I would've been much better prepared for life and public school. When I went into public school I was in the grade ahead, and I was the "smart kid." Not the smartest, but homeschooling has so many advantages. I just feel like if I stayed in homeschooling, I might not have made the friends I did, but I wouldn't have made lots of the bad decisions I did, and I would've stayed on a harder course, and likely would've been even better at my strengths, like English, drumming, Sports, and Languages. I'm not completely sure what I would be like, but I know I would have a wider variety of academic and educational strengths.

I’m a sophomore right now and I’ve been homeschooled since 4th grade. I wouldn’t go back to public school for 10 grand, I get to do my work when I want to, I’m able to get enough of it done in one day so I can have a three or four day weekend, I’m not forced into a classroom full of people that I can’t stand, and within 6 months I was able to put in over 200 hours of volunteer work.

When I went to (public) school, I remeber the teachers constantly telling us, "You are NOT here to socialize. You are here to learn, so sit down & be quiet." Perhaps it was just the schools I went to?

The great fraud is you don't go to school to learn either.

I was home schooled as well for four years. It was the best experience I ever had. I not only learned advanced curriculum, I also learned time management and organizational skills as I taught myself and my four younger siblings for our last two years of homeschool. I didn’t know what internal discipline was until I did that and I had no idea that I was smart until I went to college and had ridiculously high grades (averaging around 95%) for the first two years of college. I still carry many of those lessons I learned back then with me now and they have served me well.

My dad learned English from watching Sesame Street, but then again he confuses spinach for broccoli and pistachios

There are these homeschooled kids that love down the street from me, and there is a 10 year old who speaks fluent Spanish, he's been learning for three years. I'm about to be on my third year of Spanish an I don't get the quality of education as homeschooled kids. Mostly because the education is focused on not leaving anyone behind.

I've been homeschooled my whole life, I'm in 9th grade now and I'm perfectly fine, everyone I know says I'm very socialized, I'm really upset that people get pictures in there head that home schoolers arent as smart, every home school curriculum I've ever heard of is actually more advanced then public schools, I'm not trying to say all home schoolers are geniuses but there is a fine line between educated and lazy, my mother takes home schooling very seriously because of how much home schoolers are looked down upon, every quiz or test I do my mom wont mark it as passed unless I get a 90% at the least. I have many friends in public school and one day I was talking about pre algebra with one of them, I was in the 5th grade at this point and my friend had no idea what I was talking about. So what im trying to say is just cause someone is homeschooled doesnt make them any less educated then someone who is public schooled or in private school.

And yes parents do need to be committed to teaching their kids. Thank goodness I was old enough to sort of teach myself since my mom (single) worked :)

"Socialization" as the teachers' union defines it does not mean the ability to socialize, but rather to conform to the politically correct "social standards" of the current pop culture.

Forced association is not socialization

I grew up with many friends, most of whom were also home schooled, and find it very easy to socialize and servive in the world. I'm currently holding a manager position where I have been employed the last five years. People often judge me or act as though I am unintelligent once they hear of my learning, but it is them I feel sorry for.

I have watched (& had others comment) on how well my children interact & carry on conversations on a wide variety of topics with children of all ages & adults of all kinds. They would not have been able to learn these skills by spending all their time with kids their own ages. They gained these skills by being out in the real world interacting with real people in a variety of settings not stuck at a desk listening to someone tell them to be quiet all day long.

there is no replacement for your family and the values taught at home by good parents that care, great to hear you say your brother is one of your best friends.....siblings almost never abandon you thru the trials of life, good for you!

My Mom homeschool me because they know about bad things in school(break ins bullying learning about elevation) and I am actually not shy, well I don't talk to boy's but.... anyway I love all the field trips we get and we sometimes count park days school days!

Exactly! The parents have to be dedicated to homeschool, as my parents were, and I will be! I loved being homeschooled, had tons of friends, and traveled all over! When I did enter public school in high school I knew kids who had never left the state. It was crazy! I had much more life experience then those kids did.

I was homeschooled from 4th grade through High School, and I graduated with a 3.8 GPA. Also, my grades were calculated by an accredited Christian School. BTW, the socializing thing is just a ploy to keep people from homeschooling.

I always tell the people who go on about socialisation - since when has a kid left school, gone into a job and been placed in an office with same age people? I find schooled kids' socialisation is peer-centric rather than getting on with diverse ages, they can only relate to their own age group! Sad really!

I'm sorry to hear that.

I'm a sophomore in high school I've been home schooled ever since kindergarten. everyone homeschools differently, so you really can't say it's better or worse than regular school. But almost every single homeschooler i know, we use the self-teaching curriculums and go to co-ops and i'm in community college right now (i'm 15). so yes, we do real work and we are socialized. there are huge home schooled communities all over the place. :)

I was homeschooled through highschool and it was good for me since I have ADD and it's hard to pay attention in a classroom setting

COVID 19 quarantine: what do you get in trouble for? SOCIALISING.

I go to private school but I have public and homeschool friends and I honestly like my homeschool and public school friends best

haha the sandwich/ Home-ec thing was exactly what my dad used to do to me!! Im a freshman and i love homeschooling! :)

I totally get that! I can talk with the older adults and carry on a conversation while other teens talk about internet things and band. We are awesome people!

Okay, because the comments seem to all be disagreeing here, allow me to clear things up. As a homeschooler, I will truthfully say that not all homeschoolers are socialized nor are they all unsocialized. Seriously, it's a generality that doesn't exist.

I recently pulled my daughter from public school to home school her. The school district sent child protective services to my house. So, in response my daughter and I started reading and discussing George Orwell's Animal Farm. The state regulated conformity center(public school) can kiss off.

You should contact the Homeschool Legal Defense Association. HSLDA .org Look them up And good choice on the reading. I would also suggest , depending upon the age of your child Orwell's 1984. If they are younger have them read the Cliff Notes of it. The book can be.....inappropriate for younger ages.

@tdrpowerl There are MANY (I would venture to say more) kids who come out of public school who do not know how to interact with other people.

Oh I SOOOOOOO get the UN-socialized thing! That is an unfair stereotype! But yeah, the good thing is, we don't get in trouble for socializing. LOL! But yeah, we are socialized, and yes, we do have friends, and no, we don't live in the basement. :) lolololol!!!

I've known three home schooled teenagers myself. One of them had great social skills and her parents often tried to put her in social situations to outweigh the lack there of from being home schooled. She also had to show up in a building at least once a year (I forget the exact amount) to take a state issued test with other home schooled children. They'd often spend this time socializing as well. I think she learned a lot by being placed in social situations. Now on the opposite coin, I know a parent who is so over-protective of their child, that they are very selective of the social environments they are placed in. Both of the children are lacking in social skills and I believe this is why. I agree with the OP, that homeschooling does make it harder to gather social skills, but as per the scenarios in the first paragraph, there are ways to have a child learn social skills as well.

My experience with home school is a little different. 7 a.m. to 4:30 pm was our school ours. Skip lunch if necesary. Hardest two years of my life!

Truth. I know a lot of homeschooled kids who do very well. But unfortunately, there is the possibility of not getting that social life, or not getting the full education, You just have to do it the right way.

i just love clicking on a video, hoping to enjoy a comedy clip and i scroll down to the comment section and end up reading a debate the size of a short novel! come on guys. just enjoy the funny man.

hahaha, so true and great point. its way easier for parents to regulate what is entering the minds of their kids when home schooled and fellowship at church is a better environment to socialize all the way around, parents still need to protect but there are far less potholes.

I'm homeschooled have been for three years, I love it. It's much better than all the drama, cussing, peer pressure. Ect Ect. Is it really bad that I can get ahead in my school, not be as beat down as other kids? Tell me, what's better? Not being 'properly' socialized, or getting beat down/teased/doing dangerous things?

i know many people who are home schooled and my husband was also, they are all perfectly fine and socialize fine just becasue your experence was bad doesnt mean everyone else will be

Home school families, don't feel bad if you're called soap makers. Homemade soap can be high quality, long-lasting stuff!

I'm the only one in my family (6 siblings people) who is home schooled. I'm right in the middle with an eight year gap between me and the next oldest and a twelve year gap between me and the next youngest. So I understand what people say about home schooled not being social. But my two best friends, since before we started school, (they are also home schooled) have been closer to me than anyone in the world. I have seen my older sister make and lose friends in a heartbeat. It doesn't matter whe

I was home schooled most of my education, I spent three semesters at public high school.

I was jumped and beaten my the last day of school before Eater Vacation, all because someone wanted my cell phone.

My kids are BOTH constantly BEGGING to be home-schooled. Of course since my husband and I are NOW in the middle of a nasty divorce....I DOUBT there will be ANY homeschooling going on anytime SOON. I feel BAD for them to be honest because I can completely sympathize with them as to WHY they DON'T like public school and it unfortunately has NOTHING to DO with the reasons MOST other kids want to be homeschooled. I personally feel they just believe it would SOMEHOW give them MORE time with ME as they ALREADY feel they don't see me ENOUGH as it IS.

heck i goto public highschool and im not properly socialized i dont even get in trouble with talking i have freinds but i know when to be quiet

The good thing is when I'm home schooled (Don't start replying saying that I am wrong, I believe it is true) I was able to socialize because I go to church, (Yes I am a christian) there are a lot of nice people there, still get bored half the week so I found stuff that I can do, Stop Motion, Working on a Pepakura ODST helmet (Pepakura is a paper program thing) hope most of you homeschoolers can socialize!

When I was younger I went to this suuuper small private school with like 25 kids in it, my family finally decided to homeschool me but my social skills suck... I mean I like being homeschooled but I am super shy and don't know how to start a conversation

Very hilarious

I love when I tell people I'm homeschooled and there like, ".............................oh."

Haha this is so true!

curly:i resent that

I have never laughed so hard in my life

Near...far!

Saying that you're wrong would be going against my point that homeschoolers differ way more than public schoolers. My church is really small, but there's still nice adults there to be social with, as you said. I do 4-H and I looked up Pepakura and it's really cool. I do papercraft which is similar to it, except mine are small projects. Usually just models from video games :)

It's all about parenting. You're going to get plenty of both public school kids and homeschooled kids who don't have a clue about academics or LIFE, because the good parenting isn't there, and you'll have both types who get a great education and learn the other things they need to learn. Either way can work just fine. The one thing that does concern me about homeschooling though, is science. There are lots of reasons why it is difficult for homeschooled kids to get a good science education.

Only thing I ever learned on Sesame Street was how to count to 10 in Spanish.... after the 18th re-run, lol.
