I think school study is better then study at home. I am a student to and enjoying meeting people of my age and explore the world not by just reading the books but by watching it and it's beauty.

I think this has to be decided on a case-by-case basis. There are definite pros and cons for each.

I think like anything, it has its pros and cons. I think public school is good for kids as far as socialization goes. With home schooling though I think they have the ability to learn more with the one on one time. I knew a kid that went to a catholic school the first 6 years and then transferred to public school and he had a really hard time adjusting and relating to people.

I have several friends who home school their children and swear it is better, but I disagree with them and think sending a child to public school is much better.My friends say they home school because bullying is such a problem at schools and because schools brainwash our children with a lot of untrue stuff. However, I believe that children need to learn how to deal with bullying and that yes perhaps teachers do have their own prejudices and beliefs that they teach the children, but so do parents, and at least at school children get a wider range of opinions. My friends also say that they home school because their children get sick less, but I believe that generally its important for children to catch colds etc. as it helps build up their immunity system and makes them stronger. In addition, I think public school is important because it give the child very important socialization he or she needs. I have noticed that my friend's children who are home schooled do not have very good socialization skills, tend to be withdrawn and do not know how to deal with conflict well. I have also noticed that if asked the very large majority of children prefer to go to school than be home schooled. Home schooled children tend to be bored a lot and I think most children just want to be "normal", and going to school each day is what is considered "normal".

I think it depends on the person. As for a person like me, public school is better, because it lets us socialize people our age, get to take part in community programs and school events, hear funny quotes on classes, make friends easier. But home schooling can be better in that sense that the teacher is only caring about you personally, so you can learn everything in your own rate, you're not gonna fall behind, or won't feel bored (because there would not be people understanding the tasks slowlier than you asking the teacher when you've already done it).

for me much better to let children go to school than home schooling because your kids can learn a lot outside your house than in home schooling, your kids can have more friends and can develop her/his talent, can meet people of same age and can interact more to other people.
