Whats so bad about homeschoolers?

Question

Alot of ppl say that they don't like it for different reasons.

I'm homeschooled and I love it.

Why? bc I don't have to put up with the highschool drama. And bc I'm homeschooled I get the chance to do more school if

I choose to. And bc of that, I'm 15yrs old and I'm graduating

this year. And I'm not a dork. Thats a big accomplishment.lol

My cousin was in public school and now shes homeschooled.

She got to see what both were all about and she says that

public school is better for making friends, but education wise,

Homeschooling was.

Also some ppl say that if your homeschooled than your not

as social.

And thats only true if you choose to be that way, I'm a very

social person even though I'm homeschooled.

So why is it so bad?

Answer 1

Homeschooling isn't for everyone. Most people dislike things they aren't familiar with and homeschooling is one of those things. You hear that homeschoolers aren't socially acceptable when they get out in the "real" world. It's just a myth because some don't understand how you can get socialization without being in public school. I've seen some kids in public school that I am so happy that my son isn't around them daily!

Answer 2

I dont think there is anything wrong with homeschooling.. lol id be more jealous of someone whos home schooled more than anything

You get a better chance at learning

Answer 3

Well, for one thing, both you and Rachael made several spelling errors. It might be a little clue that perhaps your homeschooling was not as great as you think it was. Many kids love homeschooling because it is easier than public school. But what you put into it is what you get out of it.

Answer 4

I do not assume that the few homeschooled children who arrived in my middle school represent all of them, but they had very few social skills, didn't know how to interact with others in class, and were actually quite far behind most of the other students.

If you are having a great experience, then don't listen to what anyone else might say about it.

By the way, I am assuming that you are graduating because of the number of hours you have spent on specific subjects.  Have you taken an SAT or ACT test to see how you compare with other high school graduates?

Answer 5

I'm homeschooled too and the twerps that tell you homeschoolers suck are only jealous.

Answer 6

Don't listen to the last person who commented. What she said was very un-open minded for the open minded public schooler she is supposed to be. About adjusting to collage, you need to talk to an actual homeschooler if it was hard to adjust to collage. Every homeschool student is different.Some are not very smart, some are the smartest people in the world. But the same is true with any source of school. Most students do just fine with adjusting to collage. I can think of a lot of homeschool students who got straight A's in collage. As far as being socialized, some are very unsocialized, but most homeschoolers have just as many friends as public, or private school students. An advantage with homeschooling is that students associate with all ages, they interact with adults, and young children alike. Nothing is bad about homeschooling, and if you choose to be homeschooled that's fine, if you choose to go to public or private school that's fine too.

Answer 7

I see your point but:

-School amkes you independent. You have to adapt just like you will in the workplace.

-You have to deal with a wider range of people ncluding those who you don't like which is hard but what the real world is like.

Answer 8

I was homeschooled for ten years and graduated this past spring. I loved homeschooling and now that I'm college I see how homeschooling helped me. There are pros and cons of course-- the classroom atmosphere was something I was not used to but honestly it doesn't outweigh the fact that I had so much more time and space to understand who I was and who I want to be.

That said, I think that the reason people have a bad idea of homeschoolers is that there are those that it just does not work for and who turn out kinda...well...weird, to say the least.

Answer 9

Homeschooling isn't for everyone. Most people dislike it.

Answer 10

I think college is allot harder for home schooled kids then public school kids, most home schooled kids have so structure,

Public students have to get up at a certain time, be at school, have classes, homework, and don't have based people grading their stuff. I am not saying homeschooling is 100% bad but I would never do it with my future kids, I feel really bad for home schooled kids. (I do have friends who are home schooled and 3 of them have all had problems adjusting to college and 2 of them love college allot and wish they would of had real school.)

Plus college isnt going to treat you differently, they aren't going to say oh well your bad at this so Ill give you a break. You will be treated the same as everybody else.

Answer 11

Some people just don't understand, though it is true that, as a whole, homeschooled students are less likely to take part in social events than public school students.  Another problem some people don't understand is what you said yourself.  You're graduating at 15.  I'm 16 and have the opportunity to graduate this year, but I've chosen not to because I don't feel emotionally ready to go to college yet.  Another problem some people see with home schooling is that the students matures WAY too quickly.  I can understand this; I'm way too mature for my age, though I've never been homeschooled.  However, I personally feel that a student's maturity, regardless of their manner of schooling, is dependent on their social life.  I have pretty much no social life, and, as a result, if I moved out on my own tomorrow, I'd be perfectly fine.  Sure, I'd be out on my own to soon and super lonely, but I could function if I needed to.  I'm not saying that people with a social life aren't responsible or more mature, they just spend a lot of time being social and less time being "independent."  Honestly, sometimes I wish I wasn't like I was, but at the same time, I wouldn't change it.  I'm really intelligent and will have a great future, whenever I decide to pursue it.  So be glad that you're in your position.  Don't let anyone ridicule you because they weren't as lucky as you.

Answer 12

I don't like being home schooled because it was always to noisy for me to concentrate. My little sister is going to school this year, so it's been better than it was before. I would still like to try going to school, so I might go to a private  Academy next year. I know that some people love being home schooled. I agree that home schooled kids can be very social, I'm kind of shy sometimes, but I would be even if I went to school. I have a lot of friends who are home schooled too.  That's cool that you are graduating all ready. A friend of mine has been home schooled most if not all of his life and is now going to school and he loves it. I don't think people should make their kids be home schooled if they really want to go to school.  Unless there isn't a good school near them.

Answer 13

Absolutely nothing is wrong with home schooling. If anything it is better then public schools. I was home schooled until 4th grade and I've been in public school sense then so I've seen both enviornments and I defintally say that home schooling is so much better. My mom even says I was always so much more happy when I was home schooled and just a lot of things were different about me, but in a good way, when I wasn't in public school.

Frankly, if I could go back to being home schooled I would do it in a heart beat. Friends wouldn't really be an issue because a lot of my really good friends are in my dance classes and the ones who I only see at school we talk outside of school. Anyway I'm rambling, but trust me there is NOTHING wrong with home schooling and those who say there is don't know what home schooling is really about. They are just going by what society leads them to believe home schooling is.

Answer 14

much from  homeschoolers does not have a large social communication. it is may be the more affect for home adaptation studying without community communication.

Answer 15

well I've been home schooled my hole live and I'm now 14 and i have already graduated.

there is nothing wrong with it besides the making friends part but you can always go to skating rings that's how i have so many friends.
