Question

I will like that somebody tell me their experiences about home schooling and why they choose home schooling?

Answer 1

Just yesterday I spoke with three Marine recruiters, about home schooling. They said the military will not always accept a home school person, unless they can pass the entrance exam. They also said they would be a little leery about homeschooling, because of their antisocial schooling, they may not do well adjusting with others. If you look at a lot of your answers, the child was picked on and bullied. Was this antisocial behavior? Maybe they just couldn't adjust to being with others, and this will follow them throughout their lifetime.

If you are not a certified teacher, in grades K through 12, which I doubt you are or you wouldn't be asking this question, you shouldn't even consider home schooling. I don't see how it could be of any benefit to a child.

Answer 2

I have home schooled since kindergarten. My mom chose it 'cause the private schools were too expensive, and she wanted me to have a christian world view. I'm now in 7th grade, and I'm doing fine. Some people think home schoolers are dumb, but that's not true. Most of them are actually smarter than average.

Answer 3

Home schooling is comfortable cuz you can go to school in your p.j.'s on your dining room table and take your time learning, safe cuz your in your own home out of harms way with a luved on guiding you, fun cuz you can chose your own field trips, etc....Now a days home schooling is a good resource to chose.

Answer 5

While I was growing up, my aunt was homeschooling my cousins and we thought it was pretty strange.  Once they were adults, we noticed a big difference in the type of choices they made (mostly good ones) and how well they were doing in life.

When I had my first child, I followed the normal pattern of putting him in preschool, but it wasn't working out for us.  I didn't like sending him off every day, not knowing what he was doing or experiencing.  I also didn't like some of the teasing that was beginning to take place, or how rigid his school was in emphasizing certain skills over letting children develop naturally.

I discussed this with my aunt and she told me to consider homeschooling.  I thought, "no way!"  But I went to a seminar about it, and checked out every book I could find on the subject.  After that, it was almost as if I couldn't NOT homeschool.  The evidence was just too great that homeschooling works and is good for children.

Our experience has been positive.  My children are learning well.  They have many friends and fun experiences.  They are not experiencing any teasing or bullying, or negative peer pressure.  My oldest has said he never wants to go to public school.

So that is our experience.  You can find more information about homeschooling here:

Hope this helps!

Answer 6

Public schools turned out to be a bad choice for our child. She is bright, easily distracted, and they felt that meant she needed medication. We felt it meant that she needed more one on one teaching and fewer distractions. So, we homeschool. Our whole lifestyle has changed. We love it.

Answer 7

We chose homeschooling after our child was abused by a teacher at one school and almost murdered by a fellow student at another school - in one of the top districts in the country, no less.

We find it to be wonderful.  Our child can follow her passions, make friends with so many different kinds of kid, and she has the freedom to be herself.

Answer 8

I agreed to allow home schooling for my daughter when she was entering 10th grade. She always loved school and did well until high school. She was stressed by the drama that went on in 9th  grade.  I was against it at first. Now I think it is great. She was aways a good student but she loved her social life.  While attending 9th grade she never focus on her work, just did enough to get though it. The focus at high school is on who is popular, who is going out with who, who said what about who and where is the party. She was always a soccer player and when she did not make the team she was very hurt. All her friends went on into soccer and she had to start making new friends. Had to evaulate what was important. I believe the enviroment at high school was to focused on unimportant things. I believe she felt the same want. Over the past year she has discovered that her own believes are right for her. I see confidence and  maturity. As a homeschooled student she focuses and owns the total responsibility for her school work. (In the beginning she stumbled). She has completed enough of her highschool credits that she is on track to finish highschool  a year and half early. She is taking a college class at the local community college and receives both high school credits and college credits.  With the ease to arrange her own schedule she now works 20 hours a week at a good job. She is planning on going to college. I am so sold on home school.
