[quote=Anonymous]I am a new to homeschooling mom. Here are my thoughts.

I have met various homeschooled folks over the years. Some of them were really odd, and that is definitely the stereotype. I can undersatnd a lot of people not into education but you find that in a lot of public schools too, and a lot of those don't serve the kids either.

One person I knew was one of the brightest students in my graduating law school class. She was a little bit off socially - just a tiny bit - but so were many people there, so I can't even attribute it to her homeschooling. She was so thorough and intelligent.

We had extremely religious homeschooling neighbors who did co-ops over the years. I got the impression from them that their kid's academics were not a huge priority, but in later years, they went on to competitive private schools and colleges and successful careers, and so I revised my opinion on it all.

I knew another really educated mom who homeschools her kids due in part to one of the kids's major health issues.

Now, we are loving homeschooling and I am so glad we have this "choice" - really a forced opportunity because DL was so bad for 2 of my kids. It helps that I have other really educated friends doing the same and helping me out. [/quote]
