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 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.

  • I really think it depends on the person if homeschooling would be beneficial or not. Some people would be better at pacing and pushing themself to study and learn and some people need the reminders to learn and do their work that teachers provide. I personally do not want to be homeschooled.

    • I agree, I think it does depend on the type of kid and what they need to learn.

  • I think homeschooling can both benifical and unbenifical. Students can focus and be able to learn more at home because there are no distractions. Although, it can lead to a lack of socialism and fun. Personally, I would not like to be homeschooled because it doen't seem fun.

    • I agree, it can be beneficial, but in the end they don't have any fun with your peers, and have a lack of social skills.

  • I think homeschooling can be beneficial because you will fully understand the topics because it's just you and whoever is teaching you. It allows you to do better on tests or quizzes. I don't think homeschooling would be a good idea for me because I've already started in public school it would be so different and lonely if I was homeschooled.   

  • I think it is worth it only if it helps the living situation or schedule. I wouldn't wanty to be homeschooled because I feel it is harder because if you were to ask questions, then you can't ask a teacher who would know the answer. 

  • I think that being homeschooled could be beneficial because you could get more one-on -one time as long as your parents do not have a lot of kids to teach or other things that they have to do. If your parents are teaching many kids/siblings then it will be harder because every kid is learning something that is different from the rest because of the different ages. Homeschooling can also interfere with the child's ability to interact with people their age which can be bad later on.

    • I agree, I think homeschooling could be good for some kids if they need extra help with some work.

  • I think that being homeschooled would be nice. For the social issue, you could make your kid participate in activities that allow teamwork and other social stuff. Also, when you are learning something with just you and a teacher it's more focused on you.
