I was homeschooled through high school, though I did full time post secondary at the community college my junior and senior year.

High Fives to the two of you! Homeschooling is the best.

I was homeschooled through fifth grade, went to a charter school that was kind of a homeschool/public school hybrid in grades 6-8, then went to a public high school, then a public university for college and graduate school. So I've had pretty much every style of education except for private school and military academy.

I was home schooled until 5th grade.

I was homeschooled from 1st through 9th grade, and cyberschooled the remaining three years. I wish I'd simply gone to public school.

Been homeschooled all my life and belong to the best beta club in the country. Wouldn't have it any other way.

I was homeschooled all of high school, and I wouldn't have had it any other way. I went to public school K-4 and private school 5th-8th. If I had my way, both of my children would be homeschooled. Perhaps eventually.

Homeschooled from 1st-12th grade. Love it.

Wow I didn't expect so many home schoolers. I go to public school and those of you wishing you had it you are not missing out on anything. I despise it.

I have been homeschooled since the middle of fifth-grade. I'm wrapping up 11th grade.

I went to Private Christian School. It was stupid.

I went to Catholic School from 5-7th grade. If you ever want to be driven to atheism and then slowly work your way back to agnosticism throughout high school, I recommend it.

Homeschooled until 9th grade, then private school. Wouldn't have done it any other way (except maybe moon school on the moon).

Florida is the best state to be homeschooled in...

We have a football team.

What about boarding school?

I am thinking about homeschooling our boys. The oldest turns 4 in June so next years pre-school would kind of be a trial run.

We live in OH, so if anyone knows of some good resources to look into, I'd love to hear it. My initial searches didn't show a lot of support in the area.

Upsides of homeschooling - learn at your own pace complete individual attention can move at a much faster pace and no bullying (unless of course you have siblings)

Downsides-unless you parents do something to make up for it complete loss of social integration and ability to socialize normally automtically being the outcast if you ever transition to public school no escaping your teacher, and definitely no getting away with "the dig ate my homework" unless of course he actually did

Minister Polarius · « **Reply #23 on:** May 12, 2012, 01:09:16 AM »

I think the "social integration" thing is overblown. Sure, it's a danger, and some fall into it, but sharks are a danger at the beach. Just sayin'.

lp670sv · « **Reply #24 on:** May 12, 2012, 01:18:02 AM »

It depends on where you live. People in the city that are home schooled are probably not going to have a problem but if you live in a rural area unless your parents take steps to make sure you still get social interaction it's a huge problem
