Homeschooling....Why Is It Looked Down On So Badly

Tweet

My Sister-in law homeschool's her children as well as many people in the church that her and my brother attend. The children are being taught very well and are very intelligent. As far as socializing with others, most of them are in 4-H clubs and such. They also get the groups together from time to time for different field trips. The thing is that if you mention to people that you are homeschooling children, you get looked at like you are crazy or get comments like you are doing something wrong. When my niece finishes High school she will have completed the same or probably more work than if she were in public school and will still have to take a test for a GED, because of the fact that she was homeschooled. Instead of giving her a test and getting an original diploma she will get a GED. Why is it so different to be taught at home as opposed to in a public school? If I had had that option when I was in school I might not have dropped out. Plus, we might not have school shootings and peer pressure, teenage pregnancy...etc, rising like we do now. You would actually have families spending more time together, and better home environments.
