Re: Home Schooling or Public Schooling: Which is the Most Beneficial?

Speakin' from personal experience, for I was in public schools 'til high school; then I was home schooled, I'd haveta agree wit Tsurara on this one. If a child is ta b home schooled, though, it should b when that child is of advanced years in schoolin' (let's say around 9th or 10th grade). Then home schoolin' would b a viable option, but only; like Tsurara said; if the child is allowed ta participate in outside social activities. Otherwise the child could suffer socially and that could have ramifications not only in his or her social life, but also when tryin' ta get a job, a promotion, or other aspects related ta some form of interaction wit other ppl. It actually took my sister ta break me outta my shell when I was in collage and that's how I was able ta make so many friends and participate in many activities in collage. I not gonna say that home schoolin' caused my shyness, in truth it had existed prior ta that, but it probably contributed ta many of my problems. Home schoolin' should only b done wit conditions, so that children that r home schooled r less likely ta become socially inept.
