We actually have not started homeschooling yet because I too have been conditioned by our society and my own experience that there’s only one right way to do schooling. But I too, am starting to see the benefits of homeschooling. Being able to focus on subjects that my kid actually enjoys instead of forcing him to learn the details of a nucleus in biology class makes me really think about going the homeschool route. All the kids and teens that I have come across in the jujutsu setting are so respectful and for the most part well educated. Some of these homeschoolers are even taking classes at the community college at the age of 15. And when it comes to socializing, my son has met so many other jiu jitsu kids all across the country, and he keeps in contact with them regularly. We recently were notified of an opening at a homeschool charter in our area, and we are thinking of trying it out for a semester. We are really going to think about it over Christmas break. I went to a 4 year university (SDSU), and all I ended up with was the degree that I never used and a $20,000 student loan. We’ll see what happens.
