Personally I wouldn't wish any child of mine to go through what I did at public secondary school. They were the worst years of my life.But of course, each area is different.
I am not satisfied with the lack of education that goes on in public schools. My nephew is currently in public school and thanks to no child left behind, all he's learning is how to pass a test. That doesn't cut it for me. I want my child educated and given options in life that public schools fail to offer because "there's not enough interest" or "no funding".
But if they want to go to public school, I think they should be allowed to. I've heard stories of kids who wanted to go to public school but their parents wouldn't let them - I think that's really sad.

I've heard stories of kids who wanted to go to public school but their parents wouldn't let them - I think that's really sad. All of the children who are homeschooled in my community do so by Choice, not force!! As a matter of fact, my youngest boys best friend is homeschooled and his sister goes to public school. Both of my sons, the younger, more social one included, chose to be homeschooled. They are both smart enough to see that the one real gain they'd make in public schools is social, Not educational. When I put my children back into public schools for the second try after an out-of-state move their grades went from As and Bs at the beginning of the year to Cs and Ds by the end. Next Homeschooled year they were back up to As and Bs again. 'Nuff said. I certainly don't think that homeschooling is for every child and nor for every parent. For those who are lucky enough to have good school systems, Great!! But, for those of us who find our public schools to be a place of horror... well, I seriously pity the individuals who don't have the choice for an alternative. I find that to be sad and am sooo thankful that my children don't have to live in a nightmare..
