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

There are a lot of benefits to homeschooling if your kids get their social skills through sports and other extracurricular activities.

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

I love the idea of it. But I haven't seen it work out well.

tough to replicate a chemistry and biology lab in your kitchen at home.

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.

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

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, &

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

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

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

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

In some cases, yes. In others, no. Depends on the parents and kids

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

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.

Higher ceiling, lower floor than normal schooling

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

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

Honestly though, 75% of school is wasted time

This. One reason homeschool kids are playing is because they got their work done
