It is becoming increasingly popular here. Apparently approximately 28,500 pupils are homeschooled and the rate is rising. Discounting those who have to because of vast distances to schools, what are your opinions on this? I know several who have been home schooled and they do seem to do quite well intellectually but I would worry that they are not involved in social and community activities like sporting teams etc. Plus they only meet people of similar mindset ( usually various forms of Christianity round here ). Maybe I’m wrong and pre judging. I have a friend who homeschooled her children and they in turn are doing the same with her grandchildren.
