Home School Diversity:

When I was in home school, I was socializing. Now, keep in mind, there are different ways to do homeschooling or unschooling depending on who you ask. There are many ways to socialize and it depends on the needs of each individual student, what he or she needs at any given time according to the developmental stages of a student.

Options

Some home-school classes include more than one student. You can get the whole neighborhood together and have ten students per class. In other words, home school can appear to be like a private or public school. A major difference can be that home school can be more decentralized in the curriculum, the flexibility of the transaction and the competition between students and teachers, more leverage, more control, more accountability and responsibility. Education should be put on the free market as much as possible in order to minimize the monopoly of education.

Monopoly

Some monopolies can be dangerous and absolute power from and in monopolies can corrupt the people involved absolutely.

Socializing

Kids can socialize in home school or after class. I was in a homeschooling club and we would have meetings on Sundays, Tuesdays, Fridays, depending on the week, there are different things. We would play. We would meet at a house. There were dozens of families and kids of all ages, from 1 year old to like 15 years old or older. But most of them were around 5-10 years old when I was there.

Homeschool Field Trips

We would go on field trips to parks, factories, stores, to learn how they make pizza or how they make other things. I was also in other clubs. I was around so many people all of the time. I was homeschooled and then I would go outside and play with my friends in my neighborhood. There are kids all around.

Oatmeal Gone Wild

When I was 8 years old, I would ride my bike by myself all over the city with no adults, many miles, any time I wanted. I had so many adventures and then I grew up. I was born and raised in 1985 in Oregon, United States of America. Oregon is between Seattle, Washington and California on the west coast. I went to college in New York. I worked in Hawaii. I taught English in Vietnam for 5 years. I would travel. I was learning how to grow up and travel as a kid. I would learn how to socialize even while in home school.

Good or Bad

Many people on Steem, Steemit, Hive, and other places, write about homeschool. People make videos about it too. It partly comes down to how you homeschool. It can be good or bad depending on how people do the homeschooling, same thing with public education.
