do you think it'll be better if your child was homeschooled or went to a school where every other kids go to?

i dont think i would have the patiewnce to homeschool my kids , they would have to stick to a strict routine and i think home should be a place where you can relax and not worry too much about all that. also a mum should be a mum not a teacher as well. also kids need to be able to interact with other kids and make new friends , how can they do this if theyre homeschooled.

I think that homeschooling can be good and bad..
The good things are that your child is learning one on one which is always great for them. and you can take your time on a subject if they havent caught on rather then having a whole class of students and the child is just left behind..
Its good because no one can love your child like you can, you can be your childs best teacher.
some negatives are that I think children need to be able to be around other children. homeschooling, they will be home and not able to interact with other students on a day to day basis like they would in a regular school, there are homeschool groups that do get together, but I doubt its on a day to day basis..
another thing is that the parent has to be sure they are really teaching this child and not just keeping them out of school and not teaching them anything and the child is just lounging watching tv all day..
I have seen parents who homeschool there kids and they are just as strict as a school teacher and have them call them buy their name as if they are really the teacher of a school or something,, I guess that teaches respect or something..
then I have seen a parent that kepr her son out of school saying she is home schooling when really her son is out hanging out with friends running the streets and getting in trouble and also being kept home to babysit his younger siblings...
so I think homeschooling could be great, but it could be bad also..
I will continue to keep my children in regular school until they give me a reason to pull them out..
I am a little upset that the schools dont want to allow christianity in, so that is a minus and I wish that could change..
