[quote=Anonymous]I find it really interesting that one thread is critical of homeschooling, while a parallel thread is all about how much parents supplement their child's school day with tutors and workbooks because they are unhappy with the level of education their child is receiving.

We homeschool and like another parent mentioned, I looked down on it as a choice before I had kids. Not that different to
how a childless adult might be critical of a parent whose child is melting down in the grocery store. Changing circumstance sometimes forces you to eat crow.

I will totally agree with you that one of my kids is socially awkward, but she's always been that way. Her neuropsych would support the argument that it's not homeschooling that made her socially awkward. Some of you see anecdotal evidence that homeschooling leads to socially awkward children, but there's no evidence the link is causation.

Btw, to the PP who said homeschoolers don't actually do all those field trips, we do and I see many other families like us at museums and performances on a regular basis.[/quote]
