I am so glad my wife pushed homeschooling 8 years ago now. I was against it for fear of "socialization". They do WAY more socializing with peers now than when my oldest went to state sponsored indoctrination camp. All they did was get demerits for talking and 20 minutes outside... fuck public schools.
I was in public school. Some of my best friends were homeschooled. I mostly met them in non-school activities that we had common interests in. Though, some of them I met at school since their parents would take them to public school for minimal exposure to things like PE.
They were YEARS ahead on education with their peers (and me as well sometimes). Good dedicated parents are a massive foot up in the world and if they have half a brain in their head they can teach their kids what takes until the age of 18-ish.. well, they can teach that before you are 12. A good friend of mine is a professor and homeschooled while minimal pairing with public school. By the time they were out of "highschool" all of his kids had at least 2 associates degrees, were exceling past the AP level for the public school and only spent a couple of years to get their "4 year" degrees(s) which they all dual majored for. It might be a extreme example but its just more proof the public system is fucking useless unless you are happy with half brain dead minimal "education".
Oh yeah, the Demerits.. That was fun. I was a A+ student in a class. I passed with a C because of the fragile teacher that hated me.
