Homeschooling
Do you ever wonder how your life would be like if you were homeschooled? Would you consider homeschooling your future kids?

In a 1999 study, almost 850,000 students were homeschooled. 4 years later, another study in 2003 showed that 1,096,000 students are homeschooled. Then 2012 study, over 1,773,000 students were homeschooled. Personally, due to a lot of researching, homeschooling isn’t as bad as it seems, because it has a lot …show more content…

In an article, it says, “Children can get worn out in the same environment from morning to evening and do not get as much social exposure as they would in a standard classroom setting.” If you think about it, homeschooled students don’t get to face the problems that other students get to face. Most students have a moment in their school years when they face something difficult, whether its a school bully or just a person who is hateful toward others. Students face these type of thing in public schools and private schools no matter what, but homeschooled students don't face those type of challenges. Homeschooled students don't have to worry about boring, stupid high school drama too. Even though homeschooled students don't face these challenges, they still miss out on the good things in high school. They miss out on school dances, school rallies, funny moments inside the classrooms, or even the times they hang out at lunch with friends. They miss out on the high school memories that other people tend to reminisce about. It’s a little sad to think about it that way, but at the same time homeschooled students still have greater academical advantages than

If I completed school for the week in the three days then I had a four day weekend, but if I didn 't take care of that schoolwork then that meant I had no weekend and privileges were taken away. By me knowing what my work was in advance for the week, it was my responsibility to accomplish that goal. I believe that homeschool made me mentally and physically sharp because I had more time to run and play in the yard and go to field trips like the space center, the Houston zoo, museums, robotic competitions and horse rescue rehabilitation ranches. As a family we were able to take vacations and trips when most students were in school which allowed more attention on tours at points of interest.
