Basilisa Marie Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I went to public school all the way through, but I had/have a fair amount of friends that were homeschooled. They mostly really liked it, and to me it seemed the like "parenting style" was more to blame for whether or not the kids could survive college or were social hermits or whatever, than whether they were products of homeschooling. Most Catholic colleges are pretty receptive to homeschooled kids too, especially the ones in the Newman Guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AccountDeleted Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I think it depends on the individual child and on the age and the reasons for homeschooling. I sent my daughter to a Catholic grade school and she loved it. When we moved to the States, I couldn't get her into the Catholic middle school (they said they were too full!) so I sent her to public school and she hated it and cried a lot. By the time she got to high school she was nearly having a nervous breakdown, so I took her out of school for a year and homeschooled her. She did well enough that by the following year, when we moved to a new town, she was happy to go back to a public high school to finish off. If I could have gotten her back into a Catholic school, she might not have had the problems, but I don't know as she had other personal issues that she had to deal with by the time she was a teenager (from being adopted at age 7), and these might have come up anyway no matter what school she was in. Homeschooling is hard on the parent - to be teacher and parent, but it is also satisfying too. If your children are extroverts, then they will need some extra curricular activities. The French immersion sounds great, and unless your kids are having problems, maybe you should leave them where they are? Are they happy? Are they learning?

cmotherofpirl Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 [quote name='prose' timestamp='1319038276' post='2323671'] Hey everyone! Long time, no see! I am thinking (now that I have FOUR - in case you haven't been keeping up ) of considering homeschooling. What are your experiences (good AND bad) with this. My biggest concern is that my kid is super extroverted and has great friends. I am not so sure she would be well adjusted to being pulled out of school at grade 3. Plus, right now, all my kids are in french immersion, which I can not offer myself, and I would be a little sad that they lost that. Not sure. Just wanted some feedback past the "it's the greatest thing ever, nothing ever goes wrong" or "your kid will turn into a sheltered hermit". [/quote] Any particular reason you want to start now?

elizabeth09 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 (edited) I saw that awhile back. Wow. People thinks that my mom was nuts after having 9 children. She homeschool us until we move, then she send us to school (Big Mistake), and then homeschool again.
