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 grew up in a cult that was big on home schooling so they could socially isolate their kids and keep them from getting any influence from outside the cult. It's good for kids to be exposed to people from different back grounds and who have different opinions. You will never, never, never be able to replicate the interactions and social learning experiences they will have at school, at home. It's borderline child abuse in my opinion.
