They all made the decision to attend public school at that point. The transition from homeschool to high school was very easy and they never had any social or socialization problems. They have always been active in sports, drama, and music and those activities provided their friendships. I love the fact that my kids were all homeschooled and so do they...they are proud of the fact. Aside from all the bonuses of homeschooling is the most important point; you are able to spend quality time with your children everyday of their and your lives. They are raised by their parents, not a well intentioned teacher who probably doesn't think like you do, nor have the values you wish to share with your own chldren. In the end I believe most people turn out to be wonderful adults,,,,I'm just glad I was able to spend more time with my children when they were young than most parents are able to. They are now all intelligent, creative, young men who are easily able to think on their own and don't depend on others for entertainment.

You are correct about the friends. It is much more a factor of the child's personality than anything else. As you can sort of pick up from my other posts in the Homeschooling category, we had to be careful that our kids were not over scheduled with activities and friends. The socialization myth of homeschooling is just that, a myth! -Will Thanks, I’ll take a look at the book.

Homeschooling sounds great - it isn't possible for everyone though. I was a single mom and I had to work to support our household. No way I was going to be able to stay home for my daughter. BTW, I remember a group of homeschooler moms I met in Ohio - their kids had one major complaint - that of having friends. I told them that my daughter, in public school, had the very same issue. It doesn't change the equation for kids either way it seems, tho my sampling was quite small. I'm enjoying your blog very much, Pam Hoffman http://seminarlist.blogspot.com You might consider reading “Rich Dad’s Prophecy” by Robert Kiyosaki to assist you in preparing your children for this new world we are living in.
