Really, to me homeschooling doesn't sound that bad. The way these people make it sound, it seems like it's a great thing. I can't really explain in a way that would sound legitimate why I believe learning this way would be better, but I can say this:
even though you may lose social skills (which some people claim they don't.) is having less people around honestly that bad of a thing for your intelligence? At school, usually people only distract other students from the actual curriculum, so a lot of kids don't learn what is being taught. Fortunately, I can usually focus on only 1 thing and ignore everything else, so this does not usually affect my learning unless I well and truly just don't give a stuff. However, from my experiences in high school, that does not seem to be the norm.
Also, by now I have thought of a way to word what I was previously going to say. Though some of these statements may be misconceptions, I'm sure most of you will jump on them.
If homeschooling is a type of school where kids can choose their own pace, then it is a great thing. It would be like school, only where kids do the work on their own and have a teacher for guidance, and they all do work in their own little cell. They could rush through the book and take a test on it, then skip to the next. Or, if need be, they could take it page by page, slowly advancing through the book absorbing every piece of knowledge they see.
If I had a choice, I would be home schooled. Being home schooling for me would mean no god awful teachers grading you down for handicapped stuff, no being forced to stay in 1 place, a lot less rules, and the best of all there would be no idiots to deal with while doing my work.
Now I suppose for others being home schooled would be hell- Maybe it's just my hate for classmates that makes me crave home schooling so much- But nevertheless, homeschooling does have it's benefits.
TL;DR: Homeschooling has pros and cons, as does normal school.
