What are your opinions on homeschooling?

My opinion: Both have pros and cons.

I have heard that homeschooled kids are often better academically and more intelligent compared to average students. But they have bad social skills and have a lot of anxiety.

In normal school, you might have better social skills for sure. And you might grow up good if you don't get influenced by the rotten people at school and if you don't get into drugs or stuff due to peer pressure. But that's IF YOU DON'T GET INTO THESE. If you get into these, good luck getting outta these. And there's the concern of getting bullied too......

So I personally think homeschooling might be a better choice.

I think it is a good idea as long as a general national academic path is followed so the learning we are doing has the basic fundamentals. Socialization needs to occur as well so home-schooling should be offset by community events to get those tykes used to the social messes that can be created and how to handle them stoically.
