forget you and your home schooling. = Kids with issues.
Thorax:
I have been in both public schools and I've been home schooled. I felt that I learned a LOT more in home school because I was able to move ahead in the lesson when I was ready. With public school, if you have finished something, you have to wait till the rest of the class is ready to move on. And if you aren't understanding something, you sometimes get left behind, creating confusion instead of learning. I do believe that home schooling limits your social interaction, but that's only if you let it. When I was home schooled, I was involved with multiple sports to connect with peers that I wouldn't have been able to normally. Also, I met a lot of other home schooled kids that I never would have met otherwise. One is my good friend Kikaru. Together, we have worked on many games (While the only two he published were games that he worked on himself...) including the pretty much dead Open Sky. I think the best thing for students would be to have a taste of both just to see what it's like. I was in it for only 2 years, but when I got back into public school, I was at a much higher level of understanding than everyone else.
TL;DR: Homeschooling can be good if done properly. Link is to my home school friend's website. I've done both home school and public school.
Packer:
Home schooling has its up's and downs in different ways and different situations. If the child fails to commit to home school as well as the parent they aren't going to learn anything.

I'm a homeschooler. And i have been doing homeschool for my entire life.
I appreciate my homeschooling and im 14. As a matter of fact i cold go to college if i worked hard enough in less than 3 years.
I have nothing against schooling, but i find it dissapointing that some people think that public school is all about the sociality. There is nothing wrong with making friends make as many as you want!
But also know that your there to learn and expand your knowledge.
People who don't focus on education like one user said usually end up in the labor force.
And yes my spelling probably is bad but some people tend to be more talented in some areas more than others.
I'm currently in 9th grade or at least moving into 9th.

I hate school. All the kids in the classes are idiots and laugh when we watch a movie and someone says "ass." Or they go OMG BAD WORD.

Being homeschooled by a parent is absolute stuff. You need a private tutor.
