| I can kind of see both sides of this argument. The main benefits of home-schooing are the one-on-one attention and the fact they don't have to dumb it down for the kids who don't care. My wife teaches 8th grade here in Wichita, and it is amazing how many kids don't care and how many of those kids' parents don't care. If a kid is home-schooled, you know the parents care about their education. However, a lot of these home-schooled kids are just weird with no social skills whatsoever. I think some are doing a better job now though of getting them more involved in social activities, such as band and athletics for home-schooled kids so that they can interact with other people. |
