[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 604021, member: 6546"] Why does homeschool seem like a "cop out" ? One of the arguments usually presented against homeschooling is the social aspect - or specifically, the lack thereof. Well, just what sort of "socialization" are you looking for? The realty is that a lot of what is "social time" happens in public school during unstructured and unsupervised time. Lunchroom, locker room, school bus. And let's face it - these "social interactions" are usually pretty unpleasant. When you homeschool, there is no lunchroom, locker room or school bus. Definitely a benefit! When you homeschool, there are no distractions to learning. Major benefit! When you homeschool, social interaction is chosen. You can find clubs, co-ops, support groups - all kinds of things! And because parents are so involved - bullying never has a chance to start. Conflicts (if any) can be guided by concerned and caring adults who actually have their childrens' best interests in mind. Huge benefit! [/QUOTE]
