Hello, it me Peacelover, today I have a weird debate thread that might fail, might succeed, but I want to know if you agree or disagree on homeschooling. Let the best debater convince me.

[medchiller]

If that's what you would rather do then do it. As long as you're getting the knowledge you need. I don't think that parents should force homeschooling on a child because it can cause the child to become anti-social and could develop social issues later in life. As I said before as long as you have the choice.

It's harder to make friends.

I done homeschooling from years (school  years) end of 8- end of 10, I went to a school for the end to take my GCSE's at a school. It wasn't bad , but when you don't keep social contact during the time you can get antisocial, when you don't stay focused you'll fail.
Edit: My personal view on it: I think school is better as you need social contact as it might affect you in someway.

As long as you have friends already then ye go ahead

but if you moved or smth then I wouldn't suggest it.

Yea i agree, I moved from Canada to USA and if i hadn't gone to school i would have had no friends or anything and it would have been bad.

homeschooling is so rare because the role the parent has to play. its a full time job u don't get paid for. then there's the possibility of raising an anti-social child on top of that.

lol same answer every time lol

lol same answer every time lol

Do you plan on being home schooled?

[hur9]

i also had a debate about xbox and ps @ school rofl

people that do homeschooling probably think they are better cause they have their own teachers and full of their attention.
idk if that can help

[Thornz]

I been homeschooled all my life, and I feel that it's actually made me MORE social.  I was in charter/homeschool K-8 and then full on homeschooled through high school.  I've made plenty of friends through the charter school, and also through local music festivals, fairs, etc. I have plenty of friends that I hang out with regularly, just like any other kid.  Idk about full on homeschooling for K-8 though. I think the charter school really helped in the long run.

It really comes down to how well the parent does, and the child's attitude towards it. I've met some pretty antisocial kids, but the majority of homeschoolers that I meet are fun-loving and rather adventurous, especially since your schedule is a lot more open for trips and field trips, and other such activities. As long as you can nail down at least a few solid friends, it's a really great way to go....

The parent doesn't teach when you home school unless they have the knowledge from their job(teacher), because they wont remember what they did in school so long ago unless they will learn the whole book.

Where did you get this from?

[Cooky]

don't know where you got that idea, but as far as I know that's just not true

the parent would purchase lesson plans, supplies, and agendas to teach to the child

obviously they don't just magically remember everything from their school days and teach that to their kids

Are you suggesting that home schooling is done by hiring a teacher to come to your house and teach your child? If so, where did you get that idea from? I've never heard of that and I can't imagine anyone doing that.

I did a lot of google research on 'how to homeschool' and never is it anywhere mentioned the act of someone else teaching your kids. Its the parent(s) that do it, and they don't have to be teachers.

I was refering for it to be a full time job for a perant, I done home schooling before and yes they have to buy packs ect.

At the end of the day it all depends on the person, some people are pretty much just naturally antisocial, awkward or seen as plain old weird, with homeschooling or not. In my opinion I think home schooling could actually provide a better education for a child since many distractions are taken away, friends for one, are pretty distracting in school. I'm pretty sure someone has missed a lesson or two in school because they were too busy talking to their friends rather then listening to the teacher, of course that's not the case all the time, but I do honestly think more can be learned while being home schooled.The only thing I think would be different is the chances of becoming less social with homeschooling since you don't have that many people to interact with.


so basically i think kids who attend school have a higher chance of being social, but have a less of an education.
and kids who are home schooled will have more of an education , but have a higher chance of being antisocial.

all that being said it depends on the person for the most part

[Eat4two]

Both parts have their advantages (the post by mat) and disadvantages, so it depends upon the person. I'd say homeschooling requires a greater liability from the person and chance is more vague of having a fine connection with your teacher/s. Also about being prepared for lessons on every subject homeschooling means a more independently way of working by the student. Just by being in school and actually listen only to the main points the teacher is providing may be more informative than you think. Homeschooling is better adapted for a person who prefers to schedule their work in an independent way and somewhat reject convenient help from teachers. Not to mention the socialization issue, obviously there's a risk of getting a worsened competence of interacting with others, homeschoolers don't get as many opportunitys to socialize as they are working at home.
  Another disadvantage about homeschooling is that I (take me for example) wouldn't  feel the same pressure to be punctional, such as arrive in time for lessons, thus potentially mess up the balance of my daily rhythm and miss out events, and so on. At home you're most likely to be be connected to the internet too, social networks and more can be precisely as distracting as friends in school, which is a huge problem for some.

tl;dr homeschooling may be the better alternative for someone who's disciplined af and can take full responsibility themselves, of their work, socially and financially.

Assuming you have a task about this in school, and will take parts of the answers you agree with.

[Iridion]

imo things should be seen on different perspectives in younger ages, so im more for the normal school

[Jeffalo13]

whole point of high school is friends

don't get homeschooled

[Bombz]

homeschool is better but like really hard to make friends. 

[MedicaL]

Regular school. Less likely to be anti-social & schools have resources that  homeschoolsmay not have.

very hard

[Jeffalo13]

Unless you already have friend then it really doesn't matter. High school is just easier for everything in general and resources etc though.

ok so maybe you have like 3 friends if you're homeschooled.  that's not a very large social group at all.  that's 3 friends.  you miss out on all the parties, all the females, all the sports events to get turnt up at.  those people spend literally 8 hours a day interacting with friends and socializing with tons of people while your parents teach you at home and that's it.

idk what the hell the second part of your statement says

[Scythe]

homeschooling is bad, i met alot of homeschooled kids and they were rlly rlly wierd

school>homeschool

[Allie]

Come on, how many friends do you need.
I only hang out with one of my high school friends, okay maybe two, but mostly the one and his family.
Unless you're a socially needy person, you're not gonna have more than 3 "best" friends that you actually care about.

antisocial allie is antisocial
you might not need dozens of best friends but surely interacting with only 3 persons besides family is not the best thing

[Allie]

Why not?
You're never going to consider 4+ people absolute "best" friends. If you just want people to hangout with who are barely considered your friends go ahead, but that's not necessary and thus does not make for an anti-social home-schooled person.

[Cooky]

I went to high school and I still missed out on all that

by interacting i mean the usual school relationship (that could eventually turn out to be deeper, y not) where you dont have any deep interaction but is still a relationship with someone

i myself have maybe 7-8 close friends that i do something with outside of school often, and 3-4 best friends but i alòso have "friends" that i meet at school and do usual stuff; and im not very social either

you miss out on all the parties, all the females, all the sports events to get turnt up at.  

that a very american-ish way of summarizing high school social side

yeah i agree with jeff cmon the girrrrls

yeah i have one friend that's like family to me, but that doesn't mean i don't want other friends.  different people have different personalities and depending who i want to hang out with i'll hang out with them.  i have baseball friends, video game friends, friends from smart classes, really close friends, friends that are just chill and cool, friends i talk sports, friends i argue philosophical/political shit
