absolutely none of what you just posted is true of any of the home schooled people I know, with the exception of real graduation for a few of them. Athletics, Band/Choir, and Clubs all exist in the public sector outside of schools.
NOBODY is prepared to walk into a lecture hall with 300 other students as a Freshman in college, LOL.
There is this wonderful thing called the internet, it allows children to read, learn, and experience other people's opinions on matters such as politics, religion, morals etc.
Cause you are going to let your child look at whatever they want on the internet right? No you are going to filter what they can see so they only believe what you want them to. As far as all the programs being available outside of school... lol the stuff outside of school are a JOKE compared to what the public schools offer. And honestly, there is nothing out there that will compare to public school Band/Choir programs... church is not an acceptable replacement.

Maybe that's how you plan to raise YOUR kids, but please dont assume everybody else is going to do exactly that.

overbearing parents are going to be overbearing regardless of how their children attend school. Why would I filter educational materials? That's just stupid. Your ranting is baseless, laughable, and outright lies in many instances.

I'm all for it - provided, as has been mentioned, that the one doing the home-schooling has a knowledge base above that of the children they're teaching.

Sure, go the DIY route with your kid's education. That way their future can join the wobbly Ikea bookshelves, your poorly maintained car, and the haphazard array of stocks you call a retirement account...

lol my kids are in public school right now and I don't let them look at "whatever they want" on the internet. But the stuff I wouldn't let them look at, they wouldn't be seeing in public school anyway. Your argument is invalid.
Also, as an example, our community has several orchestras in it, both for adults and for the younger. Most of the kids who are taking orchestra at school want to be in these orchestras, because they are very good. They're not the Philharmonic, but then what community or school program is? But it's not limited to people in the school programs and there are plenty of kids who are taking violin lessons privately, in no way affiliated with the schools, who are part of the community orchestra. Are you seriously telling me that this is inferior to what they'd get in a public school music program?
Plus, public schools are increasingly permitting homeschoolers to take part in band/sports/classes without the necessity of being enrolled full-time. It depends on the laws in your state and sometimes on district policy, but it is becoming more and more common.

I think it can work for some families and not so well for others. It would be great if more parents were interactive with students both at home and in the school classroom too. I have had thoughts about homeschooling my kids if I have some but I am still not sure. High school was really some of the best years of my life. I went to public school and made a core group of friends that I am still in touch with. My life would not be the same without them.
