Does anyone here have any firsthand experience of the pros & cons of home schooling? Whether as a parent, child or friend/family member/neighbour?

    I was homeschooled for my early teenage years but it was on an absolutely deranged Christian fundamentalist curriculum. I educated myself out of it once I got to college and I would assume that you’re not planning to do the same thing but I figured that since I have experience I would chime in.

    Developmentally it just made me weird and separated me from my peers and ensured that I had several years of catching up to do in terms of learning how the world worked and how society functioned and what was normal and what wasn’t and all of that, once I left the nest.

    Would not recommend.
