The issue with homeschooling (my opinion)

So over the years it became clear to me: an issue in society. Homeschooling, to be exact. I know it benefits a lot of people, but there are tons of negatives.

A. Less social interaction
Homeschooled kids have less friends because they rarely meet people their age.

B. They are to sensitive
Those kids never experienced third forth and fifth grade. Those grades are where you become to realize that the world isn’t perfect, and nobody besides your family truly cares about you. That makes them sensitive to every single “inappropriate” topic that kids have every right to discuss.

C. They think the world revolves around them
These kids think that there more important than everybody else, which is extremely not true. To be actually respected in school, you have to earn it, not act like a little baby and boss everybody around you.

Please comment what you think about this. And this isn’t about every single homeschooled kid, just a lot, so don’t get mad at me.

Homeschooling = no fwends. No fwends = sad. Sad bad. Homeschooling bad.

Exactly.

Well, kids like me for example, start later (like 6th, 7th grade) so it really depends

Uh ELDEST IS HOMESCHOOLED AND HE IS ONE OF THE SLAYEST PPL I HAVE MET

I swear this is gonna turn into a war

DOVE I SAID NOT ALL

It’s also harder for things like vce exams and stuff

#7 oh phew-ie!

And yeah Winston, mostly people need to go to public schools for grades 3 4 5 for reason b

There are many wrongs with homeschooling. Little to no social interaction with anyone isn’t good for anyone. It’s too easily to be brainwashed into certain point of views, and not having exposure to the real world is bad as well. 

His views of the world are very flawed, though.

Reason 3 is not true
I know a few homeschooled people, and they are probably the nicest people I know (by thar, I mean that they have never done anything that makes others mad, cuz they mostly keep to them self)

I think as long as ur parents are decent at homeschooling u, its fine

I think dragon meant that homeschool kids feel more entitled, which is most definitely true.

Yeah that’s what I meant.

Note: I didn’t write this.

The home-educated typically score 15 to 25 percentile points above public-school students on standardized academic achievement tests (Ray, 2010, 2015, 2017; Ray & Hoelzle, 2024). (The public school average is roughly the 50th percentile; scores range from 1 to 99.)

• A 2015 study found Black homeschool students to be scoring 23 to 42 percentile points above Black public school students (Ray, 2015).
• 78% of peer-reviewed studies on academic achievement show homeschool students perform statistically significantly better than those in institutional schools (Ray, 2017)
• Homeschool students score above average on achievement tests regardless of their parents’ level of formal education or their family’s household income. (Ray, 2013, 2010)
• Whether homeschool parents were ever certified teachers is not notably related to their children’s academic achievement.
• Degree of state control and regulation of homeschooling is not related to academic achievement. (Ray, 2013, 2010)
• Home-educated students typically score above average on the SAT and ACT tests that colleges consider for admissions. (Read more here.)
• Homeschool students are increasingly being actively recruited by colleges.

#1 first reading it, I noticed there was a lot of generalization. After all, can it really be true that a lot or most homeschooled kids are self-important and sensitive?

In fact, I would argue that sensitivity is something seen in public schoolers as well.
