| Re: Home Schooling or Public Schooling: Which is the Most Beneficial?
Why not a combination of the two? First half of one's education publicly schooled, for social development, and then perhaps the other half just home schooling, for more academic and comprehension development? That's what I went through.
To me, it depends on the family and the situation they're in. If their child is the kind of person who has mental disorders that make them over-competitive and suicidal when three people get a higher grade than they do on certain tests, then I say, go for homeschooling. But if a child evidently needs someone to relate to, a peer, fellow pal or buddy to annoy the heck out of, offer caramel-filled chocolate, and perhaps more people outside the immediate gene pool to invite for slumber parties, and substitutes such people with cardboard skeletons named Konrad that they cut out themselves, then go for public schooling. And vice versa...
With public schooling, one can still get one-one-one education. It's called tutoring. I'm not sure how many schools offer peer-to-peer tutoring, or counselor-to-pupil, etc. but it's still possible. And students who are homeschooled can have a social life. It's not like a homeschooled child is locked up in their home all day. Infact, I had more freetime when I was homeschooled. More freetime to go to parties, parks, play with my fellow neighbor kids, tutor my fellow neighbor kids, etc.
