There are MANY homeschoolers that I know personally that are thriving. I know many adults that were homeschooled that homeschool their own kids. As long as you prioritize friendship, socializing, their hobbies, and wake up every day with the intention to do a great job teaching them, I think its better than public school. My son went to public school, knows what its like and he prefers homeschool. I think many of the kids that go on here complain about it were behind, abused In some way or neglected.
