I have been browsing online more than 3 hours these days, yet I by no means discovered any interesting article like yours. It is beautiful worth sufficient for me. Personally, if all webmasters and bloggers made just right content material as you probably did, the web will likely be much more helpful than ever before.

Our children are homeschooled, and they have a tonne of opportunities to meet new people: gymnastics, ballet, soccer, Kung Fu, swimming, floor hockey, racquetball, free time at the Y on Fridays, library programmes, church activities, playing with the neighbour children, and so on.

My comment may not be welcomed here as this seems an adult disscussion, but i am homeschooled. i do all of the work myself straight out of the book. i have friends, but i dont have any opportunities to meet new people. sure i could go to the park or what not, but i wouldnt necessarily find any long term aquaintances. the problem i have with homeschooling is just that. there arent many opportunities for kids, young or old, to meet new people. P.S. i am in high school.

Lack of communication with children your age isn’t a problem with homeschooling; it’s a problem with your homeschooling.

When I was young, and stupid, I had some problems with alcohol, so my parents took me from school. I started homeschooling, graduated it and went to MIT. Today I have my own children and I’m thinking what should I do. The problem with homeschooling is the lack of communication with other kids of your age.

One thing that many overlook is that, while the majority of people in the world today-ncluding homeschoolers-live in urban areas, some do not. My hs daughter seems to be suffering socially despite my efforts, in part because we cannot go to such places as often as urbanites. PS was her source for socialization. Now it is a struggle.
Do not assume everyone lives within 30 miles of a city.

That’s so sad! I homeschool my daughter and she has lots of friends to play with, and a couple of very close friends. I wonder if the mom is aware of how her daughter feels.

My homeschooled daughter has more friends than her public schooled mom (yours truly) ever did.
And frankly, while I agree that kids need time away from their parents, I think we’ve reaped in whirlwind in terms of the behavior we see in youth today, which is for the most part the product of kids being left to raise one another for 7-8 hours a day. My 12-year old receives compliments often concerning her behavior and social skills (introducing herself to coaches and adult scouting volunteers, etc.). Perhaps this is because she was raised by an adult, and not other children.

And I’m sure there has never been a public schooled kid who felt they didn’t have friends…
