unlike children who have to deal with being in public school, homeschoolers end up being a little less adjusted than those who go to school. you can even see that in private school kids

especially private school kids who go to a religious centered schools (not including colleges)

yes and no

that's broadly true but that has so not been the case with so many people I know it's not really a fair statement

You can bring homeschooled kids to public schools for recess/lunch/PE/etc

It's been a thing for ages

or get them involved in sports

or other extracarricular activities

Or even just specific classes youre not confident teaching at home

even then, you cant ever really subject them to the same problems and such that they would face in a public school. the social aspect is a very unique thing

if you grow up your children correctly then public school shouldnt be a problem

umm wat

Wot

the thing is public school is where your kids will spend soooooo much of their time that on some level they are no longer your kids

that's certainly the view of most of the people who run public schools

if you make time for your kids and sit and spend time with them then they will continue to be your children

what time? School eats most if not all of your kid's time.

Public schooling has a tendency to hinder your kid's creative and autonomous development in favour of making them good at mostly useless systematized skills like test-taking

you can talk with them but the idea you're going to inoculate them with dinner conversations is wishful thinking

modern public education is alot more about conditioning than learning

public education guarantees the state will have far longer to mold your children than you will

thats what i hate about modern day "what time" to spend with the kid? after you get home... the problem with a lot of families today is that dad or mom come home and because theyre so tired from where ever they work they decide that they dont have time to sit down and spend with their child. It starts early and its especially prevalent with dads in the american house hold. men will come home and will sit down, eat dinner and go to sleep leaving room in there for tv and such.

you want to make dad great again

spend time with your children

you want to make the family unit great again

sure but a dinner conversation ain't changing 8 hours of school plus 3 hours of homework reinforcing it

spend time with your children

Youre competing against a full day of indoctrination with whatever energy you have after an 8 hour work day, curbed by their homework and study schedule

^^^^^^

But even refusing to try isn’t helping either

It's not refusing to try to look at alternatives to public schooling

Homeschooling and "unschooling" both have statistically better outcomes thus far

^^^^^^

And are more about spending time with your kid+complimenting that with tutoring and socialisation via school resources

yeah I've known fellow homeschoolers who have turned out socially awkward, but I've known *many* more who turned out to be friendly, engaging, well-adjusted individuals

this idea that homeschooling dooms you to a life as some virgin outcast is simply false

I went to public school and was tremendously socially awkward

To the point of like, difficulty projecting and issues with anxiety

Find something with your child that would make them interested in actually having a "social" interaction with you

I just worked on training myself out of it

I mean... it works out for me
