I am home schooled on my computer with a program called CAVA (California Virtual Academies) they have a program with k12 an online homeschooling program. With CAVA you have your own teacher, and you have class sessions too where you can video chat with the teacher and other students. Home schooling is more academically challenging. Thats why its a better option then public school.

Certainly not all public schools are better (or worse) than all home schooling. Public schools introduce the student to the problems and benefits of interfacing with other students, perhaps preparing them for the world. But then this may have its problems too. The best we can say is that everything has its benefits and difficulties.
You get to join all these cool classes, mingle with other people you don't even know... and someday that guys gonna be famous and you're gonna be too!

It can be but in nc the public scools suck! they'er teachen em crap that nobody cares about. Im homescooled and i think its sweet but uknow its 10,000,000,000,000,000 times better than public.

In my deepest opinion, I think public schools are way better.

Children have more of a social life, and make friends.

Also, its a better way to prepare for the future, since in homeschool you can wake up whenever you 'want', but when you have a job, you won't be able to do that.

Here are some opinions:

  • You make friends in public school.
  • You have more fun, like parties, field trips, etc.
  • Better way to prepare for the future.

I am homeschooled and I have answered a few questions just like the one that you've asked. Homeschooling is not nessisarily better, but it is easier to concintrate on the work at hand. Our teacher is our mom. She helps us when we are stumped. Homeschooling is fun, but I wouldn't call it better.

Do public schools have more opportunities than private school?

Person who asked question: Ive been going to a private school my whole life, and its okay i guess but i kind of wish i went to public school because the girls are really mean in my school so can any of you answer if public school is any better because sooner or later im going to leave my school and go to public school so can any of you give me advice and stuff? Thanks :) Private school gives off better education and chances for going to a good high school/college. How about you give private school one more chance and if things get worse, go to public school.


What are the chances that you will get a better education in private schools than public?

It totaly depends on each school and your personal opinion. There are good and bad things about each. For instance, a private school has more one on one attention but less socialization with other children.


What is the difference between a public school and a private school?

In a private school you get better education than you would in public school. But depending on what county you live in some public schools are just as good. Private schools provide more: 1. Academic challenging 2. Individual attention 3. Safety 4. Push students for college 5. Discipline -private schools are mostly for kids that usually have a hard time in public school & aren't hanging in the right society of friends and are very bright but don't know how to express it in a public school . They are way cleaner than public schools I've heard. But, in public elementary school, it is almost all free except for field trips or lunch


What is charter school doing that's better than public schools?

It all depends on what type of a person you are. Not having been to a private school, I can't speak for them, but I know they have a schedule similar to a public school (where you go 5 days a week & have homework), and that high grades are often pushed. I currently attend a charter college prep school, but I assume you are referring to homeschooling charter school instead of the type I'm at. I was homeschooled almost all my life, it was great for me and I loved it. It allowed me to sleep in and get as much homework (or sometimes as little...) homework done as I wanted to. Charter programs work great for people who are self-motivated.


Are Catholic schools more difficult than public schools that have a harder curriculum and are well funded?

I attended Catholic schools for 12 years, and later taught public school, so I have a "both sides" viewpoint on this question. Catholic schools are more difficult than public schools largely because the expectations for the students are higher than they are in most public schools. On a grade-for-grade basis, the curriculum in Catholic schools is also more demanding, or perhaps more accurately, "farther along" for a given grade level. In both grade school and high school I had friends who left and went to public school, and later told me they were anywhere from a half a year to a full year ahead of the other kids in their grade in the public school. There are many variables, of course - some Catholic schools are better than others, and the best public schools I taught in were the equal of any Catholic school - those were public schools where the school and the parents had very high expectations for the students.

Is homeschooling better than pubic schools?

I reckon that public schools are better. Although Home-schooling gives one to one tuition, a public school school also builds up a social background and life. I agree.

Is home schooling a better option than public schooling?

Home schooling has its pros and cons. You can give your child a better education than some public schools can offer, but you also take away a majority of the life lessons your child would learn in a regular school. For me, homeschooling was ten times better than the regular school system. I got a ten times better education than the public school system (which is a joke), anyone with half a brain can do better than the public education system. I was also protected from the harshness of the school yard which I am immensely grateful for. And all my life lessons where taught from my mother anyway, all school taught me to do was to swear and have sex with random people. My mother also made sure I never missed out on opportunities to socialize with people I liked. I got all the socializing of a regular high-schooler without all the teasing etc. of the normal school yard and a better education to boot. I think homeschooling is a very good idea and I am speaking as one who has gone through both homeschooling and normal school (til grade 10).


Is homeschooling a high school stundent better than public school?

I'm a little biased because I have 2 at home and 2 in college. All 4 were homeschooled their whole lives. Go to your local library and pick up "The Teenage Liberation Handbook". It is chocked full of reasons why you would be better off at home. You will also find helpful information here: http://www.homeschool-rewards.com/homeschooling-vs-public-schools.html


How can parents help their preschooler?

If you mean in the subject of school, I would recommend homeschooling your preschooler (for now at least). Then, maybe by the time they are old enough to go to an elementary school, You can decide either to keep home schooling them or to send them to a public or private school. Also, if you have doubts about homeschooling your child, you should know that it does not make a college less likely to accept a home schooled student than a public or private schooled student. If you feel that your child could get a better education at home, then you should home school them.


Is private school better than public school?

Depends on what kind of private school it is.


Good reasons to go to public school?

Public school is better than homeschooling for some families. I am a homeschooling parent. For the most part, I think homeschooling is a great thing. Most of the families I have seen are very dedicated, do the work with the kids, take their kids out and make sure they are well socialized, and have a lot of fun. However, I have seen a family or two that don't sit down with the kids to do the work or get their kids out of the house to be around friends or are involved in social situations. In these cases, it is probably better for the child to attend regular school.


How do you convince your parents to homeschool you at age 11?

If you are going to private school, you can certainly try the cost angle as homeschooling is much cheaper than any private school. If you are in public school, you can give many truthful reasons on your part why you feel homeschooling would suit you better. Whether that is bullying, not enough attention being paid to your strengths or weaknesses, too much drama distracting you, not well enough teaching, and so on, you should be honest about it.
