| Re: Home Schooling or Public Schooling: Which is the Most Beneficial? It depends entirely upon the child and where they live. In my experience the "social aspect" of homeschooling is simply not an issue. Home schooled children tend to get a lot more work done in much less time and generally end up spending more time socializing not less. So really all that you need to be concerned with is the quality of the education. Some children just don't learn best from their parents while others do. There is actually a "private school" option found in many places where the school only teaches a half day in the more specialized studies and the parents teach the other half in the more standard subjects. Testing is usually based on the GED and ACT. It tends to work well all around. |
