I’m trying to understand why people home-school their kids here. For a start, the kid is home and thus missing out on making friends and also becoming socially stunted by missing out on interacting with his/her peers. The facilities at home will never be the same as at a school in terms of books or sports teams. In school you have a teacher who has trained to teach, something you rarely have in home-schooling. It seems that home-schooling your kids disadvantages them on all fronts, so I’m interested to know why people home-school their kids.
