I home schooled my kids from 1990-2000. It was still considered an odd thing to do at the time I began, but became less and less unusual as time passed. Those who thought it weird would ask me, "But what about socialization?" So one day I sat down and made a list of all the social skills I wanted my children to learn, and realized none of them would be taught at school. They were all things we would teach them at home, as parents. Home schooled kids don't need to be isolated hermits. Nowadays most localities have some sort of home school get-togethers, or co-ops. My kids had friends who were home schooled and some who were in public school. We saw to it that they had plenty of opportunities to get together and play and interact. Also, church activities gave them more chances to hang out with their friends and age-mates.
When my oldest applied for his first summer job, we learned that the manager always put the home schoolers' applications on the top of his pile, because those were the kids who knew how to actually work, were more conscientious about their job, and could comfortably interact with people of all ages. So please tell your son not to be afraid to consider home school as an option.
Definitely will my friend!😊
I believe with home schooling kids actually get a better education!😇
Church youth groups will definitely help as well!👍😊
