Home Schooling - are you for or against?

I think both options have advantages, but the ability to relate to your peers is a distinct advantage.

I can’t help but feel that a child who has no experience of school will be at a disadvantage in the workplace.

I agree that home-schooled children may be well mannered but I don't think they are well rounded. They don't learn to mix or take the rough with the smooth. They won't learn the hard knocks.

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.
