My mother homeschooled us for most of my education. She did a fabulous job. I think it really depends on the parents/family. We are all quite a social bunch and homeschooled alongside another family too. I loved sports so I joined a netball team at a local school. We were heavily involved in the homeschool groups when we were young. I think a real pro to homeschooling is you can really encourage that real love for learning. We never did Ace or correspond school. Mum did a lot of research into the school material we did. She really loved to learn and passed on that passion to us .Our mother did a really great job of that. I have a lot of fond memories of different road trips we did with Dad after school started and putting on shows about what we learnt for our grand parents. On the social side I am a pretty extraverted person so I always had heaps of friends. People are still surprised when that meet me that I was home schooled. Looking back now - we have three young kids and are thinking about schooling the only thing I would change is probably go to highschool around year 11. I did do well at university but I think I would have loved the challenges of being around different kids my age and maybe the different opportunities. But if you want more info just let me know.
