What are your opinions on homeschooling?

My opinion: Both have pros and cons.

I have heard that homeschooled kids are often better academically and more intelligent compared to average students. But they have bad social skills and have a lot of anxiety.

In normal school, you might have better social skills for sure. And you might grow up good if you don’t get influenced by the rotten people at school and if you don’t get into drugs or stuff due to peer pressure. But that’s IF YOU DON’T GET INTO THESE. If you get into these, good luck getting outta these. And there’s the concern of getting bullied too…

So I personally think homeschooling might be a better choice.

    The parent must be intelligent, well read, a good teacher and not an extremist. The kid also needs to be forced into a ton of socializing events/leagues/sports. I still think a public or private school system would probably lead to a better adult. When I say better adult, I strictly mean their ability to function in society/socially.

      And they must be self-reflected enough that homeschooling poses a severe risk of stunting your childs development, however well-intentioned. So in theory, if they were intelligent, well read, a good teacher and not an extremist, they’d send their children to school.
