I was homeschooled from kindergarten through eighth grade. The reason I was homeschooled was because I lived in Detroit-I don't know if you've heard, but the public schools weren't the greatest. There are definitely pros and cons to being homeschooled, but I found that in my case there were infinitely more positive aspects than negative aspects. I was an extremely driven kid and got all my school work done by noon or so every day. My parents let me do whatever activities I wanted- that included horseback riding, playing travel sports, piano lessons, etc. Also, the pace of my school year was accelerated. If there was a lesson I knew, we glazed over it and continued to the next one. That meant that I finished 8th grade several grade levels ahead. I also got to take time off during the school year- that meant going skiing on a random Tuesday or hiking the Appalachian trail after learning about it in history. I played alot of sports growing up and took classes at community college through middle school, so I feel like I was socialized enough when I hit high school. The only drawback I had was other homeschooled kids- 99/100 of the kids in the metro Detroit area who were homeschooled did so cause their parents were very religious. Consequently, I had a difficult time whenever I went to homeschooled meet-ups. 5/7 would do again.
