Probably will take a while

If you can barely read at 10 that's a problem, not a pedagogical preference

I'll have to use that on my boss. "I'm taking an alternative pace to learning."

I wrote a big paper on this once. My conclusion was that for kids with competent parents and an active social life,

The usual home schooling I see is not like this, though.

How much do you actually see though?

I have cousins who were home schooled. I have two families in my ward.

Seems like you’ve only seen poor examples

Yeah, the good ol' 1700s when no public schools existed. Fun times.

Usually home schooling is correlated with the issues of having too many kids.

Fewer resources to go around. Parental breakdown. Higher incarceration rates.

TheWanderer

2/18/20 10:09am

I would bet there is a strong correlation between those stats and single parents

It's an interesting question, but maybe not the only factor.(Or the reason here)

I've found that a lot of people think their homeschooled kids are adjusted well socially

We'll just have to disagree on this one.

Also, some people home school because of made up fears of public school being too liberal/conservative or whatever
