Does homeschooling benefit kids more than public or private school? Research shows that homeschooling is actually a very helpful way for kids to succeed in the future. It can help kids with certain skills that others aren’t able to develop in a public school. But, homeschooling also takes away the social and active aspect of public or private schools.

Homeschooling is an easier way for kids to learn. When at home, you are in a more comfortable environment than at a school. They have no distractions from other kids and it ends up being a better workplace. Homeschooling ensures that you get all the education attention you need personally. Kids in public or private schools are often overlooked academically, and homeschooling prevents that. Homeschooling students often are more skilled and intelligent. Being homeschooled is based on your academic skills, so you can take advantage of it at your own pace. 

However, homeschooled kids don’t have the same amount of social interaction as every other student would. They often miss out on the opportunities to see other kids their age, and interact like people do in the real world. It can then make it more difficult for the kids to make friends. As they grow up, homeschooled kids often have raised stress and anxiety levels. They aren’t used to working with people their age and it frequently takes a long time for them to get used to.

  • I don't think being hopmeschooled is good because kids don't get to work on their social actions as much. I would not want to be homeschooled at all.

  • I feel like in some ways it could, but it wouldn't be worth it. Students who are homeschooled may be risking their education but not getting anough hours or work. Yes, it offers you time for other events but in my opinion it wouldn't be worth risking your education.

  • I believe that being homeschooled is beneficial depending on the student. It allows students to learn at their own pace and reduces the major stresseors of time and other social factors. Many kids that are homeschooled have more flexibility and freedom. Personally, I would not want to be homeschooled because of having to readjust and adapt to the changes.

    • I agree, students should do what is best for their learning and what helps them.

  • I think overall, it is better to not be homeschooled. While it might be safer and you can learn at your own pace, the future downsides are too big to not worry about them. After you're done with homeschooling, you would be sent into the workforce or college with little to no idea about how to work with others.

    • I agree, I think it is important that kids no how school works before going to college or workforce.

  • I have many cousins who are homeschooled and they seem to be doing okay. They are very smart. I am not homeschooled, and I have never been homeschooled so I don't know which one would be better. I like that teachers can help the students inperson and can help them by themselves if they don't get it.

  • I think homeschooling is a benifital thing for kids. I've known several people that homeschool and they have had incretable progress with there education. it would also help kids who have bad social anxiety. they wouldnt have to worrie about what people think of them or worrie about being called names. but i  would not like to homeschooled i like the social aspect of school.

  • I think part of the point of schools are to teach and get a grasp of what the real world is like. This can't really be achived at home as you would never need to leave for a while. Also, if it's a parent or gardian that is teaching you, then there could be extencive gaps in their knowlege; this is the whole point of having multiple teahers.

  • I do not think that homeschooling is worth it. I believe that people should go to school with other kids and their peers to gain social interaction skills. Social anxiety is bred from homeschooling and being isolated. You need to be able to talk to people.
