I hate that so many people think homeschooling means my parents are the ones teaching me everything. When I was younger they did, but now in high school I learn from textbooks, online classes, and even community college. For myself and most homeschoolers I know, homeschooling doesn't mean your parents teach you, it just means that YOU get to control your own education instead of the public schools. I think that control and freedom is one of the greatest benefits of being homeschooled.

In Homeschool you are able to do lots of different things. (1) Learn at your own pace and aren't taught to a test. (2) Mix and match many learning materials and learn about things that interest you. (3) Sleep in and eat proper meals. (4) Love to learn and are able to take breaks. (5) For the friends end, you can join sports or homeschool groups. You also get to hang out with adults and that inrichens your social skills. (6) HAVE FUN!

Youtube has taught me more than Ive ever learned in a classroom
@shureborn
This is basically public school students Listen to the teacher memorize for a test After that chapter drop everything you learned and get ready for the next chapter Wash rinse repeat

As a homeschool kid, I can say this: Kids don't have to go to a traditional school to socialize. I go to a co-op, scouts, and am part of a volunteering group. I get more than enough socialization.

Getting home schooled would have saved me 10 years of crippling depression and general anxiety. I was the top 10 at both public school and my community College, but I still never gained social skills or talked. I see no difference for me personally. Also taking tests is not a hard thing to do if you just memorize everything, I don't see why the system puts a pedestal on tests to evaluate your intelligence. Pretty lazy

I have seen both sides of homeschooling as l was homeschooled and now homeschool my own kids. The biggest irritation was not being allowed to go outside during schooling hours for fear the dreaded local busybodies might call DCS. I am not doing anything ilegal so l do not make my kids hide at home. If you are concerned because my kids are at the grocery store with me or playing outside during schooling hours try screwing off. Your input is unwanted.

I went to public school and I’m a socially awkward freak. Public school didn’t help. Take your kids out of government schools. The best part of homeschooling is that you get to raise your children not the government.
@wholock8143
I was homeschooled, and to be honest, if you find the right groups and sports, no homeschooler will be socially awkward. I'm not socially awkward and I was homeschooled for all 12 years of schooling and I even made my way to College. I was always exposed to people, via homeschool groups and summer camps. So, no one should be afraid of the "Socially awkward" myth.

It is completely false that if a parent homeschools, that they have to be an expert in all these different areas. With libraries, the Internet, and homeschool groups and co-ops and classes, and with the fact that many homeschooled kids naturally learn to take initiative for their own learning, a parent is not actually a “teacher” in the traditional sense of dispensing knowledge, but more the facilitator supporting the child’s learning how to learn. I know families who homeschooled their kids all the way until they went off to college, and so for the high school years, the kids were basically taking various community college classes based on their interests and needed college requirements. So parents, don’t believe this lie!

My son is severely dyslexic. I noticed he was really struggling with his fractions. After watching him for a bit, I realized he was forgetting his multiplication facts (common for dyslexia) We spent two weeks finding tricks to remember all the multiplication facts. Is he behind? Sure. He’s a little behind, but I can’t imagine how his sweet little heart would feel in a classroom where a teacher with too many students couldn’t take time to notice him.

There seems to be a misconception that home schooled kids just sit at home all day studying. There are plenty of social activities and get togethers for home schooled kids to attend.
@sugeypopplanet
I agree. The school system only cares about passing tests and it stops curiosity. I've had people in my class ask questions and the teachers like, "You don't need to know that for the test. I can tell you about it next year when we study this subject in more detail etc." It's truly ridiculous.

When I learn in homeschool: I learned the lesson permanently When I learn in public school: I learned the lesson temporary
@cosmicredpanda2420
People are homeschooling more because public education sucks, for multiple reasons, to put it simply.
@amberdolphin1210
I think I prefer homeschool. I admit, I've never been to a school dance, I've never been to all those "cool" things, but I have the best morals that can be taught. they don't teach morals in school. Not that I've heard. And I'm surrounded by the best people. not "Best in the industry" best, best in teaching you goodness, kindness, and greatness.

As a homeschool mom of 3 kids (one with special needs), and as an individual who was homeschooled, thank you for this video. As many have stated, in high school I was taking AP English in an advanced class with a teacher (I also had teachers for math), I was also able to work a job and take college courses at the local community college. I loved the freedom of homeschool and I still love it today. My kids are all a grade ahead of their subjects, get plenty of social time, we are sooo blessed to be able to do it. Working from home is super hard but I’m so glad I have the option.
@kodajsciuto1095
I was homeschooled for 5 years I was in in private school for 2 years and I was in public school for 6 years and I made the best friends in homeschool
@britt709
I was homeschooled for 9 years, attended private school for 4 years, and did public school for my 10th grade year. And honestly, homeschooling was really where I learned the most. I had homeschool group once a week so I had plenty of friends. Private school was pretty horrible but I did learn. Although I really like public school, in my school anyway, there isn't much I learned. Ppl just cheat to get by because the teachers really sucked. Plus when I was homeschooled I got out for summer in april so I didnt really mind not going to public school as a kid
