Not just important what homeschooling teaches..its the bonding and the flexibility. The biggest way they pull your kids away in brick n mortar is being away from family all day 5 days a week. Kids who spend more time w adults are better adjusted. Besides lack of getting sick no bullying eliminates peer pressure...all things are better. I gave up my home to homeschool as a single parent. Luckily I do know my history ,English science. But I too learned more and my sons bond to family is strong. I see too many young people in brick n mortar that cant interact w adults in a meaningful way. They develop that us vs them mindset that makes it easy to sway and influence them. I slept the good sleep of a parent whose son wasn't selfdoubting or brainwashed because of institutionalized education/programming.
