How is public schools better than homeschooling?

Answer 1

Research has shown that it is not better. A school has trained professionals teaching a state set curriculum and very few parents are trained teachers. Children also learn social skills at school and can take part in varied activities..

Answer 2

I got a little wordy, here is part 1/3!

OH MY GOODNESS! I've been waiting for someone to ask this.

READ THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!: To preface: I am currently a student in college. In the past, I was public schooled and homeschooled. Best of both worlds right? Here is how you navigate this answer because I made it so daggon long (sorry i'm passionate lol): So there is the first paragraph bit that is a little bit about my homeschool joureny, and why I homeschool initially. You don't have to read that. After that, why homeschooling is better that public school is sorted into points, so you can read the ones that apply to you :)

(Okay I get this part probably isn't relavant to your question, so feel free to skip it, go to the next part) There are pros and cons to homeschooling. Here is a little bit about my journey to give you some. I have 3 brothers (only girl here). One of my brothers is on the Autisic spectrum, and was told by doctors FROM BIRTH that he would never be able to get an education. We proved them wrong, and he went through public elementary and middle school. When he got to highschool, he wasn't the best test-taker. He could do the work, and pass, but he couldn't take the SOLs and exams. They told us yet again, he won't be able to graduate. He can get a GED, but no diploma. My mother wasn't having it. He was ABLE to do the work, he just could do the tests. So she pulled all three of my siblings and me into homeschooling, and as Christians we homeschooled under religious exemption. That's a fancy way of saying that we as students were exempt from taking tests and could STILL get a diploma. My brother is now graduated with his highschool diploma, and going further than the doctors ever thought he could. So that's a plus one :) (I feel the need to say that I and my other two brothers DID taking all of the required tests and exams for a diploma)

Answer 3

PART 2/3 Homeschooling is beautiful. I guess I'm biased, and it does have it's cons, but it's so so so flexable. Depending on what reason you are homeschooling, there are different reasons why it's better. Here are the main points as to why it's better in certian senarios:

BULLYING/SOCIALLITY: Ah, homeschool. The biggest steriotype there is. Most people think we homeschoolers awkward, anti-scocial, and odd human beings. Truth is, some are. Not all though. Deppression, anxiety, disorders of all sorts often stem from the hard social aspects of public school, not to mention the tight schedule and insane expectations. Homeschool is a great option. Here's the thing, the magical key people don't know about: WE STILL SOCIALIZE!! What?!?! It's crazy, I know. Most communites have these lovely things called Co-Op's. A Co-Op can be a thing where 5 or 6 families meet in somones house to learn the same cirriculum together and it ranges to be something more along the lines of a private school (minus the $$$$). So, for my homeschooling carrer I went to an Acadamy (Co-Op of homeschoolers with real teachers) for a lot of my classes, before I completely duel enrolled at my community college. Do some research, and i'm sure you will find something! There are alsp some interactive online classes you can take, and they are in the comfort of your own home, while still making friends. (Not to mention homeschoolers still do sports, clubs, and actually make friends, sooooo, you know. Where not that wierd...) SET YOUR OWN PACE! : Maybe you're a slow learner. Perfect. In homeschooling, you can learn at your own pace, go as slow as you need, and still finish with the rest. Take the time on the subjects that are hard, zoom through topics that are easier. You're as smart cookie? Perfect. You can take honors, ap, and all sorts of adavanced classes, and learn your perfect level. Not that smart? Perfect. You can just go through at a quicker pace than public school does. At the end, you can learn in a way that is completely taylored to you, and it's freaking awesome. (Again, the bias, I know, but it is!!!)

PART 3/3

WANNA ALL THE FANCY STUFF ON YOUR RESUME?: Perfect! There are these fancy advanced dimplomas that are really easy to get when you're in homeschooling. Public schools make it a whole process, but in Homeschooling, it's so much easier! Do it! Guys, I had my assoiciates degree from college when I was 17 years old. I'm not that smart, I just worked my way up fast. COLLEGES LOVE US: I could ramble on for four pages, but I won't. IVY leage schools? They. Adore. Homeschoolers. Universitys of all kinds? Yeah, them too. Do a quick Google search and you'll find that homeschoolers have a pretty good rep when it come s to college applications! I could go on, but I'm not going to. If you have any specific questions or points you wanna hear about, please ask and I'll do my best! There are some ways that Public Schooling can be better, but please please please, if you are considering homeschooling, you your research! It is the best choice we ever made. Let me know if I can help with anything else, I'm an open book! ~River (overly enthusiastic and passionate about homeschooling, and not to mention, doing some hardcore procrastination right now)

Answer 5

It isn't, truly. It all depends on the child to be taught and the teacher(s) at hand as to which is better suited for them (the child).

Answer 6

its because you build a better social skills

Not all social skills.

Public school is better because you can have fun, and you are prepared for the real world.
