[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you ever worry they’re too sheltered?

Homeschooling sounds great to me especially because my own experience in public schools wasn’t that good (lots of terrible teachers, too many disruptions from other students, too many transitions, a lot of classroom mgmt issues and not enough time to focus on subjects that interested me, hardly any individual attention, overcrowded classes, too much focus on testing, etc etc) but public school is also how I learned a lot about others who had different life experiences, came from different backgrounds, and how to be strong, resilient, work on my own stuff through the distractions, etc...I wonder how homeschooled kids fare in the “real world” as they get older.[/quote]

Not really, because they do participate in the community. They do community sports and activities with children from a variety of educational backgrounds. They have coaches and teachers with varying degrees of skill in these areas.

As I discuss in another answer, as their learning needs begin to expand beyond my own teaching abilities, I also plan on using more online classes, community classes, etc. So, as they reach adulthood, they will have experience with more traditional classrooms. In the co-op, they also have group learning experience/distractions/etc.[/quote]
