[quote=Anonymous]I see the advantages of homeschooling as being able to meet the children at their level. I love that I can use less traditional methods to help my son in his weaker areas. I love how effortlessly he has managed to get far ahead in math, simply because homeschooling is so much more efficient. I love that he can read good literature for hours every day, that he can explore his interests (history, science, politics) in great depth. I love that he is in fifth grade and loves learning.

We have zero issues with the social part. We live in a neighborhood with tons of kids and, around here, if anything the challenge is limiting oneself when choosing homeschool classes and activities. Also, my son plays sports competitively so that provides a constant social outlet as well.

With him, I don't see any negatives at this point. That said, I don't homeschool my second child who is super extroverted and thrives with the constant interaction at school, because he wisely chose not to. I also wouldn't homeschool a child at the other extreme, because I can see how it could be isolating. However, that has not been our experience in the least. [/quote]
