Just a couple observations I’ve had about homeschooling kids - when I worked for Kaplan years ago, students came in all the time to take practice tests for their SAT and ACT in order to get into college, I remember one time this kid got perfect scores on all the tests. They were homeschooled. Had straight A’s too.
Also all of the homeschool kids I’ve met were very respectful towards adults and very well-rounded people. I guess being in the presence of adults is a regular thing for them and they don’t have the same disrespectful attitude that most public school kids have.
People don’t understand that homeschooling isn’t just about the parent being at home with the kids all day. Most places there are homeschooling groups where you can get your kids involved in other activities, learn a variety of subjects from different people, and meet other homeschooled kids. It’s the way of the future, IMO. That and small-group private education funded by parents, where it’s 1 or 2 teachers with no more than 10 kids.

You can’t learn how to be an effective adult from other kids. But you can get other kids to cosign your bullshit.
