What do you think about families who educate their children through the homeschool system?

Why do you think they do this? And do you think this system is better?

I think it works amazingly for some families and fails miserably for other families. It all depends on how much of a routine there is, what rules are followed, etc. Unfortunately with home schooling, you’re socially isolating your child, so that’s something that may make their later life more difficult.

I've seen it go both ways.

My good friend educated her son, he was advanced in most subjects and at grade level in the rest. She especially made him focus on the sciences and art.

And I've seen kids educated in very religious homes who have little to no understanding of many basic subjects. Who are woefully ignorant in science, and history.

The advantage to being home schooled is the child is less likely to be corrupted by society and not impacted by harmful bullies but a child raised in a competition free zone might lack ambition or social tolerance skills if they have nobody to compare themselves to.
