Home Schooling

[ellabella20]

Okay, all of you have heard it. Home schooling is becoming very popular amongst parents in the U.S. One of the most common reasons is because parents feel that there child is to advanced for a public or private school and they decide to teach their kid what they feel is "there level." This is a good reason, but what about all those other things about home school. For one, your around your parents all day. That would really suck for most kids. On the contrary, since your around grown-ups most of the time, you get used to talking to them and being around them that you start to exclude yourself from the kids your age and you start to act very mature. While acting mature can have it's benefits[your most likely not going to do drugs and alcohol]it also has it's bad side. Since the kids start acting like grown-ups, they don't feel the need to talk to kids there own age. This could lead to severe lack of social skills. Since being social is so important, because that's how you get good jobs and stuff, you could have a hard time when you go to college and get out in the real world. Also, when your home schooled, its very hard to make friends, or so it seems, since most of your friends are from school. You might think that home schooled kids make friends elsewhere, but what about the lack of social skills? Also, when your home schooled, you don't get to see the world like it really is. Like, there are a lot of people that aren't very nice. Since your not around those people all the time, when you do meet somebody like that, you wouldn't know how to handle them.
So, is home schooling a good idea, or is it just plain stupid? You decide.
