The Homeschool Event Horizon
#2
RE: The Homeschool Event Horizon
We had neighbors who homeschooled when we lived in SC and were the type who thought any parents that didn't were mistreating their kids. They didn't want them exposed to worldly folk.

As it turns out all three kids were awful when it came to interacting with the other kids in the neighbothood and when the oldest went off to a college that mostly takes homeschoolers...her 'education' turned out to be getting knocked up right out of the gate. (We won't talk about the mysterious son on the dad who showed up that neither the kids or the high and mighty mom didn't know anything about.)

I think the social aspects of school are super important. Kids are likely not going to grow up and remain with only their siblings for interaction.

Not sure how the schools are where you are but you know that you can't provide a chemistry lab and the discipline needed to move on to college.

You can always change paths for one or all depending on your experiences.

Catholic school provided me with a decent education but back then they were more about how many kids they get into college and less about preaching. My nephew when to Catholic school becuase he was a damn dork and they chewed him up and spit him out in public school. He needed smaller classes and more individualized teaching.
