I believe high school kills the individuality and uniqueness in most kids that attended these public schools. With all their little cliques, and groups, and most of them are just sheep and follow each other and have real sense of being a true individual. and honestly how does public school prepare for the real world unlike homeschooling in which the student actually has the chance to get out and be around different aged people, and see all sorts of different things, and yet they can graduate earlier then public schoolers as well as attend great colleges?
It's not highschool killing your individuality.
The fact that you get to be out with other people in school actually allows for you to develop your social skills.
You become an individual through your environment and how your natural character reacts to other peoples characters.
By shutting yourself in as a homeschooler, you're simply hiding away from social activity.
That's not being an individual. It's being a social recluse.
And seriously, with all the cliques and social groups?
Is ever American school exactly like the stuff I see on TV?
Do they all act like some crap off of Disney Channel, where you're either a Jock, a Cheerleader or a geek?
I don't see how you mean that you get the chance to be around different aged people.
If you're homeschooled, you stay at home, you learn at home.
Unless you house happens to be some sort of Hotel, I don't see how you end up being around different aged people.
Spending all day with your mum doesn't count.
From all I can tell, Kolo, you just appear to be acting as the social recluse is hard done-by, because everything else seems to be out to get him and rip away his acclaimed sense of individuality.
