I don't understand how anyone could enjoy being home schooled although it can be better for one's education, high school is not just about the books you read and the papers you write it's also about the experience. I could not imagine going to "school" and not seeing my friends or having an actual teacher teach and the joy of finally being able to go home. Being in a school setting with other classmates and other teachers allow one to learn how important working with other people is even when you don't necessarily agree or get along with the other person and taking leadership and direction from an authoritative figure, even if you don't agree with that person one will always have to take orders from someone else there will always be someone above you that you have to listen to even if you don't like the person you still have to listen to them. Many young adults and students don't understand this they are headstrong and stubborn and can't wait to 'get out of the house and be on their own and not have to listen to their parents' well these teenagers are in for a HUGE wake up call. Not only will they have someone to answer to but they won't have the love, sympathy, and forgiveness of their parents. I think if someone is home schooled they may miss out on these important skills necessary to being independent

  1. I agree -- high school is about the experience as well as the learning.
