I do, but I keep them locked up inside. Kind of like 8th grade in my living room.

I don't know if you'd consider my opinions negative but the facts that I know about homeschooling could be negative

Not if you live in Raintree. Then it’s easy to replicate.

Yes. Most homeschooled kids I’ve known were a bit weird. Parents were weirder.

5/19/22 3:24pm

This is the problem. Kids would be just as weird, probably weirder if they went

I’ve never seen it done. All the kids I knew were awkward socially. I’m sure

I have at least 6 nieces and nephews that are home schooled. None of them have

Fruff

5/19/22 3:25pm

That’s my beef with it. All kids I’ve known really struggled socially

Like all educational methods: it depends. Depends on the parents, the kids, &

We are social creatures. Learning how to get along with and work with other

This is a short-sighted understanding of homeschooling. Many are MORE social

runnincoug

I'm sure it can be done, but every homeschooler I know is a weirdo.

I did until I had a chronically-ill daughter.

We have a bunch who do in our ward, and it’s like talking to someone in an MLM

Sure the school system is a mess but you can still learn a lot. Homeschool kids are freakin' weird.

I did until we decided to start doing it 3 years ago. It’s been great for 3 of our kids. Luckily we started pre-pandemic

5/19/22 3:33pm

I’d be tempted to do it on and off if possible.

If done well, ceiling far exceeds public school; but many do not do it well

I’m not pro-homeschooling as much as I am pro-educational choice.

Skipshot

This. I think, strongly, it's important to have choices for families.

The problem with homeschool kids is that they’re raised by homeschool parents.

DieHarder

Homeschool has more variance both good and bad

JollyGreenGiant

Higher ceiling, lower floor than normal schooling

Not anymore. I grew up thinking it was weird and went to CA public schools.

Too many paint home school as idiot mom teaching kids nothing. So many things

The social aweness of the home schooled people in our office is flawed

Family in our ward homeschools and they are so far behind everyone else.

Seems like most people feel their kids are well rounded, home school or not.

I WFH, and the home school kids just play in the neighborhood all day.
