NO
Don't homeschool them, do not
Homeschooling pretty much ruined my life, I turned out pretty okay, most people are usually surprised when I say I was homeschooled cause they say I don't act like it, but it took a lot of work and getting out of my comfort zone to become "normal"
But if I could go back in time I'd slap my parents and have them put me in normal school, I missed out on so much

Thank you for replying. Were you homeschooled for reasons of faith?

Have fun with your socially stunted brats.

Your kids are gonna hate you, if you're this obviously devout. Guaranteed. Just send them to a religious school.

I was home schooled, and it set me way back both academically and socially. It took me going to a charter high school to get me to the point I could function socially, and I still have some weird tics left over from being that weird kid who doesn't know how to act around people even years later.

Do not...

Nice spook

Faith has to be tested. Children need to grow up in the world as it is. Let go, man.

I was homeschooled for religious reasons.

Most of the kids in my homeschool community were much smarter and well-mannered than our school counterparts.

Due to the particular skill-based curriculum we did, most of us became incredibly talented in multpile fields (music, athletics, arts) up to national and international levels, but at the expense of conventional academia.

In terms of socializing, we learned to socialize, but within our subculture and not the mainstream one. As such we did not fit in to mainstream society (but many droves of kids end up like that anyway in normal society. See: whole of 4chan).

Those of us who were naturally emotionally intelligent quickly learned to assimilate with wider culture after our schooling years. Those of the group who did not have this psychological trait remain unadjusted to this day, but go about with their lives.

In terms of religion, I still ended up turning away from the Lord. Almost all of the group did not.


Overall, I believe the success of homeschooling deepends entirely on the suitedness of the parents. You have to be psychologically aware and skilled in guiding your children to success (eg foster love if learning; impart character traits etc). A lot of parents just aren't up for this task.
Second, you must have a good likeminded community. This is invaluable to the developing psyche, and depending on the qualities and abilities of the members, can offload some if the child-rearing duties from the parents ("village raising a child").

In general OP, I'd say only consider homeschooling if you are that kind of parent. Otherwise, just look for perhaps a private Christian school instead.

All parents have a right to attempt to set up influences for their kids - that is a right of being a parent.
But understand that whatever you do, your kids can turn to the dark side anyway.

I know two people who were homeschooled until it was time to attend college and they're both assertive and well off socially (the only "odd" thing about them is that they're somewhat right leaning) but that won't be a guarantee for your kids, if you do it right then there shouldn't be a problem

My professor homeschools his children and he thinks that's the best way. What the fuck.

How are people even Christians in the year 2017?

There's so much evidence that contradicts the holy book, and it's hard to have faith in something that has been blown apart from every testable angle.

I can understand wanting to instill Christian values on your children, but philosophy can do the same thing without the lies of religion.

Why bother?

It's so obvious there's no god.
