Home Schooling - are you for or against?

I don’t mean just at home education whilst Covid is around but those who choose to homeschool ,often throughout their child’s whole school years. I know several who are doing this, mainly for religious reasons both here and in the USA. I don’t think it is a good idea, personally,though I have to admit the children I have come across are very well mannered and pleasant to talk to.

Against. School has so much to offer. Personally i would have hated to even try to home school my children. Im just not equipped. I know school isnt for every child but for the majority it is.

Most children don’t get the choice.

Depends on the relative quality of the home and the school.

My daughters friend has started to home school her 3 children, she is a remarkable woman, she and her husband run a dairy farm, she has many strings to her bow as a campaigner for farming, part time model and promoting farming in education.
In the time it took her to get the children ready for school and drive them twice a day she can educate them.
They are lovely children and the parents ensure they are socialised.
