[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do, yes. I knew a number of homeschoolers of the religious variety growing up. [b]They all liked to talk about how far they were above grade level, but the ones that actually enrolled in school were enrolled a grade behind their age group and weren't exactly academic all stars. [/b]Also, yes, they tended to be a bit odd.

I can see some situations where homeschooling can be the best option for a particular child, but I think most kids do better in a more structured school environment.  [/quote]

I'm the 15:07 PP and this was true for my relatives as well.  Constant talk about how the kids were just so advanced and how homeschooling was providing a much better education than the school could.  My relatives would try putting their kids in public school every few years or so (the mom was and is a hypochondriac so it usually coincided with her deciding she had one major illness or another and needed rest) and the kids would be so far behind, they ended up in classes grades below kids their own ages.  This was, of course, all just a grand conspiracy to punish homeschoolers according to my relatives and the kids would be taken back out quickly (usually right around the mid-year report cards when it was clear the kids were failing all their classes except for gym).

Yes. This! I wonder if we have the same relatives.[/quote]
