1. Your children have the opportunity to learn far more than they ever will in public school.

Or by far less... Its almost impossible for you to have knowlege of many teachers that have by far more knowlege in their department than you. Child would be influenced with biased opinion on which subjects are more important and might cause him to choose his proffesion accordingly to what parents want him.

4. Your children get to learn what you think is important, rather than what a vocal minority of parents believe they should learn. (You get to read about Huck Finn, Holden Caufield, and Harry Potter. You get to read about Snowball and Napolean and all those other crazy animals on the farm.)

LOL Than you should eliminate parents opinions. In my country parents have no say on what is taught in school (but they can help child in picking his secondary language).

12. Your children won't be labled as hyperactive or get prescribed ritalin just because they're acting like kids.

The most prevalent argument against homeschooling is the theory that homeschooled kids are not as well "socialized" as public and private school children.
|
Private or homeschool?
Well homeschooled kids would get isolated (more or less) from other kids.

Homeschooling does not mean that they lack social contact. Many parts of homeschooling curriculi contain classroom sessions, private tutoring, excursions etc. which generally are organized by a homeschool league or organization parents can join.

Well that would meant that their social development would depend on their parents and not on themselfs...
Were any of you homeschooled?
BTW i can see the benefits of the homeschooling but im not sure that (all) parents can be trusted with so important thing. If anything goes wrong the child would be virtually destroyed and useless in society.
