A must read...from Secular Homeschooling, Issue #7, July/August 2009There are plenty of people who will tell you the cons of homeschooling. People who have never homeschooled, never plan to, and are terrified of the very idea of that kind of autonomy will be more than happy to tell you everything that could possibly go wrong with homeschooling: your kids won't learn what they need to; your kids won't learn anything at all; your kids will learn plenty but they won't get into college; your kids will learn and will be accepted by a wonderful university, but won't be able to afford to go because you won't have any money because you spent all that time homeschooling them instead of selling your soul to the corporate devil; your kids will learn and will go to college, but will be bizarre asocial freaks who are only good at things like retaining information and writing original papers because they have no idea how to relate to their fellow human beings. |
