Looking for homeschool info
I have looked all over the internet and found an overwhelming amount of information that is helpful yet hard to decipher.
Any of you all have any experience with particular programs or person information/incite it would be greatly appreciated.

Do you or your partner have an education background? That's key. My parents didn't, but my dad is basically Jared from the Pretender and channeled anything he needed to (especially high-concept math).

I was also pretty self-sufficient, which saved me.

My sister wasn't, and it really stunted her. She has issues she's still dealing with today (on top of being a goddamn millennial who was spoiled rotten by my folks).

Agree with Rausch on the social aspect. My parents made sure I had a variety of social outlets (travel baseball, home school support group, 4-H, Scouts, church group, etc). They let my sister do just one (dance), which also stunted her.

All of this. My wife and I both have graduate degrees (she has one master's, I have two)....so that helps.

How well-adjusted home schooled kids are is a mix of the kid themselves, and the parents. I've known a few that are awkward (but I've know plenty that went to regular schools that were too), and I've known plenty that were fine, and many home-schooled kids who were much better informed and smarter than their peers (all of these were kids who followed a secular curriculum).

Sadly, I've known more assholes that come from the public school system than anywhere else. Same goes for critical thinking. I work in higher education and most of the younger students I see can't write papers, can't think critically for themselves, are selfish little pricks..BUT they can take a test and do well even if they can't do much else without being told.

It seems sad to think of all the interaction home schooled kids miss out on. I get that parents try to manufacture that interaction for their home schooled kids but it seems like it's not the same in the large majority of the cases.

I know what you mean, but remember there is also other interactions that they miss out on that are a good thing.

Good intentions or whatever, I cant recommend.

They were all lacking in basic kid skills to get along with the other kids. When to kid, be serious and just make small talk with the other kids. That's just my experience.

You can't shelter kids from dumbassery their entire life.

It's about learning to make choices.

Over half of those parents all are doing this for religious type reasons and don't mind mentioning that they believe that religion should be one of the topics on the Friday meetings which it is not and I hope it stays that way.
