The problem I have with my mom… is anytime I hang out or talk to her I get yelled at. So I choose to stay away. 😂

[Brimikyu]

I started getting homeschooled in the 3rd grade. Thanksgiving in 7th grade my father got diagnosed with cancer and at the beginning of summer after 11th grade he passed away. Even though I missed out on a lot of things, thanks to homeschooling I got a LOT more time with him than if I had been in regular school and I am so thankful for that ❤

[hello]

As a public school kid, it’s not even one teacher raising you. It’s a revolving door of adults who “care” until they don’t.

[lexinicole]

If you’re not counting any time spent caring for the child, you’re discounting pretty much all of the time. Meaningful bonding happens during regular caretaking too…

[LlawenSeri]

Actually you shouldn't ignore bathing and all the other tasks around careing for your child. These moments of care are what makes you bond, these are the moments a child learns: my parent cares for my needs and helps me get them fulfilled. This is more important than any word, any conversation could be, this makes a child experience that it's seen, that it's loved, that it's protected and cared for!

[hypnosstratagem]

I was homeschooled since the first grade, entered college at 16, and am now in medical school. Through the entire time, my mother always taught me to love to learn. Looking back now, I cherish the time that we had together, and I am so grateful to have that opportunity both to be with family and to learn as much as I did.

[auxvii]

Even just sitting in the same room with my mom and not talking counts as bonding to me. It’s one of those times when silence isn’t awkward.

[victormejia]

But you’re ignoring the fact that not every parent has the time, patience or aptitude to teach.

[barrel_racing_obsessed]

As a homeschooled kid this is 100% true. It takes a lot of time management will power to stay on task, since you don’t have a “time limit” and your assignments aren’t due at a certain point, but these are great quality’s to have and they have really helped me as I’m entering the work world. I have a great relationship with my family. I have tons great friends, with little drama. I’m very strong in my worldviews and beliefs. And it’s all thanks to homeschooling. I’m also able to spend time doing something I love and am really good at and that’s barrel racing!

[flower]

As somebody who was homeschooled due to disability, but was also in person schooled for all but 4 years I would pick public school everyday. The friendships I built through public school meant more to me then anything. I was still able to do a sport that required 5 hours of practice a day, have a great relationship with my father (so good infact my mom was jealous of it)

[melz]

She was very fortunate to have such a great mom and the opportunity to be homeschooled. A lot of us, like myself, came from terrible childhoods.

[unstabledefusion]

Not every kid has a loving and caring parent who has the reasonable capability to teach.

[saltycat]

You don't always have to homeschool. Just be present in your kid's life. Check their homework, study with them, have deep conversations with your kids. Behave as though they matter and you actually want to spend time with them instead of shoving them in front of a computer screen.

[rebekahtucker]

I am a homeschooled 15 year old and I can say being homeschooled is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. My bond with my family is so much stronger than if I hardly saw them. I can't count the amount of times i have had deep conversations with my parents about life. I don't think it is just for Christians (i and my family are christians) to keep there kids safe at home, I would recommend homeschooling to anyone. And there are plenty of ways to make friends and socialize as a homeschooler. There are many co-ops and groups that your kids can join. Homeschooling might not be for everyone but more people should try it. And the best part is you can mold homeschooling to your families specific needs. The flexibility is amazing and it can provide your child with a better, more hands on learning experience.

[rerojones]

I am so grateful that my mom was able to be a stay at home mom and homeschool me and my brothers. I had a much easier time in home school than I would ever have had in public school. I went to public school through 2nd grade, and it was so hard for me to do well because of my ADD. Not only did I do better in homeschool, I retained a much higher percentage of my knowledge than I would have in public school.

[Al-qrdd]

My aunt homeschooled her kids and unfortunately it was a disservice to their education and social aptitude. She wasn’t prepared to give that level of teaching

[kylebrooks]

I went to public school and learned to harden up because of that. My mom was fresh off a divorce and doing everything herself, I usually didn’t see her until at least 8pm and then it was mostly dinner, get my ass into homework and then bed. I knew though she had my back and really was the only one to show me love and attention. Now older and all the experiences I’ve had, what we sacrificed in time together I know get to shower her with it because she’s always been there for me. 37 years old and let me tell you, the best part of my day is getting to see her and hear about her day.

[luzrivera]

I homeschool both my girls, 24/7.... love it, the girls love it and have so much fun. And they are actually learning without the interruption of other kids, the pressure from teachers and testing over testing over and over again. My girls also get to do swimming class, gymnastics, ballet figure skating, piano, singing.... yup, they enjoy it, and I love seeing them loving it and growing.

[mt]

As others have said, as long as you socialize, hangout with those around your age, do other activities that interest you, you would do fine in homeschooling. I did homeschooling and I didn't do any of those. I was too focused on my studies, my program had deadlines, I eventually felt a burnout.

[kylieyoung]

I'm so thankful that my family is close together and how my parents raised me. My siblings and I have hours of conversation with our mom just talking about everything. It's a shame how families are falling apart and its sad to see some parents don't teach their kids values and knowing right and wrong or didn't want to get to know their children as individuals and help them grow.
