Traditional school vs homeschool. Which one is better?
What to do? You don’t have the cash to send your child to private school, where most kids seem to do very well in terms of academic performance, and benefit from the sometimes-lucrative relationships made there. Then again, the local public school in your neighborhood doesn't feel up to snuff; the class sizes are too big, and it doesn’t have a great reputation. So, who’s to say your child won’t benefit from your own knowledge, that you secretly consider to be superior to the average teacher’s. But you worry: not giving your child the opportunity to socialize with other kids might take away an important part of growing up? Is homeschool worth it? That’s what we’ll find out, in this episode of the Infographics Show, Traditional School vs Homeschool.

I must educate the masses. So many misconceptions about homeschooling.
“How do you make friends?”
Same as you. See someone and talk to them.
“Do you socialize?”
I’m talking to you, aren’t I? Of course I socialize. I have friends my age that I know in real life that I’ve met through homeschooling. I have friends older than me that mentor me. It’s really beneficial to talk to other people other than children your own age. The blind can’t lead the blind.
“You must be sheltered...”
honey, have you seen the trash on the Internet? Do you know the things I’ve encountered in real life and online?
“Do you have a prom?”
Too many.
“Your parents don’t know everything that you need to learn.”
My parents aren’t the only ones teaching me. I have other teachers too. Some that were strangers before I was their student. Co-ops are wonderful things.
“You can’t take advance courses.”
Oh? My friends have graduated high school with an Associates degree.
I’m getting tired of ignorance
Werewolf Therewolf how many friends do you have?
Too many
I look like an ugly donkey, why does the number of friends matter? This isn't Facebook. How about the quality of the friendships? The length of time they've been friends? I really don't understand the focus on number of friends.
VintageRitz idk iam just asking :/
I look like an ugly donkey, Ah. I see. Well, I'm not the original poster, but I can answer for my son as he was growing up. During elementary and middle school he had one REALLY good friend (another homeschooler) who remained his best friend until J went away to college. He had other friends as well, probably 5-7 boys and a couple of girls that he liked spending time with. Making friends was challenging for J. He's very smart (part of the reason we started homeschooling), so he didn't "fit in" with most kids easily. By high school, though, his friend world really expanded (like it does for most kids). He had a regular group of guys and gals that he hung out with, probably 15 or so, I suppose. Then there were people that he knew at this place that was like a kid's night club, people that he knew from work, people from the clubs he was in, stuff like that. He went away to college and has no problems making friends.
Jeez.
They say us homeschoolers aren't "socialized" so they want us in public school.
But in public school, what do you get in trouble for?
socializing
@Gingee games Socializing as in talking during class.

I hate that so many people think homeschooling means my parents are the ones teaching me everything. When I was younger they did, but now in high school I learn from textbooks, online classes, and even community college. For myself and most homeschoolers I know, homeschooling doesn't mean your parents teach you, it just means that YOU get to control your own education instead of the public schools. I think that control and freedom is one of the greatest benefits of being homeschooled.
That's right! I can totally relate!
Teachers are great and an important part of the learning process. I love the teachers I have had and I have learned so much from them. My point is not that teachers are worthless, but that a benefit of homeschooling is getting to choose your teachers. :)
@Tucson Jim alright then. :)
Hey, this is the most replies I've ever gotten on a youtube comment. Thanks. :)
I'm in high school and homeschooled and totally agree with. It really annoys me when someone asks if my parents qualified to teach me. It's not like I sit at a desk as my mom lectures me in chemistry and calculus. I learn myself with Khanacademy, and various textbooks, an online course, and soon to start community college.
This is basically public school students
Listen to the teacher memorize for a test
After that chapter drop everything you learned and get ready for the next chapter
Wash rinse repeat
Shu Reborn exactly
I agree
So true
Or, in the UK, listen to the teacher, memorise for a test, after that chapter 'learn' several more and memorise all of them for one big test about everything you've learned in that subject from the age of 11 to 16. Then forget it all and cram for the next subject. 20-30 exam papers in the space of one month...? I'm homeschooling my kids!
Dont generalize public school students if you dont want that done to home schooled
Before watching... Homeschool bruh, School KILLED my passion for art, Homeschool let's u KEEP that creativity... And look at Billie Eilish, Homeschooled, and surrounded by Pianos and music in her house, now shes a star, worth millions

@@hood6089 they all advocate against public schooling.. private school/homeschool for their children. Also Elon has specifically said typical school is dumb.. he mainly refers to college and saying that it’s not needed but yeah.
@@meredithseiss6732 it’s incredibly hard to find someone with a High paying job or a millionaire who has been homeschooled. Either way the teachers and how they teach matters. Not where
TH-cam has taught me more than Ive ever learned in a classroom
ThatKidWhoLiesAboutHisAge OnTheInternet No that means because there is so much loud people and it is hard to listen plus having to ask to repeat it again annoys other people..
Can I take a wild guess that you're public schooled?
ThatKidWhoLiesAboutHisAge OnTheInternet And maybe because of the fact that the subject is so boring that you would rather ignore than listen.
Same here
Yes.
It's better than sitting in a classroom for 6-8 hours. Like a prison.
Obviously.
I was homeschooled! Like if you are, was or want to be homeschooled

I wish i was
I was homeschooled but I sure as Hell didn't like it and I don't trust anybody who did
I wanted
@@moonstarloststar1328 no you don't! trust me
As a homeschool kid, I can say this: Kids don't have to go to a traditional school to socialize. I go to a co-op, scouts, and am part of a volunteering group. I get more than enough socialization.
@@animoo. Then consider me your friend.
Yes I was a public school kid but where are the studies that show we HAVE to interact with 500+ people a day?
I used to play with other kids who were being homeschooled almost every day, we has classes together like 4/5 kids. I went to camps as well. I could learn how to code when I was 14 using online materials. I had more than enough socialising and more than enough opportunities to learn what I wanted. But I do think that if parents don't have enough time or energy to invest in homeschooling then Public or charter schools are good.
@@Deathprf88 500+ people is dumb. You need to actually convert those people into social currency in order to blossom.
@@jaytilala7388 Well yes they are the best options at that point, there is no next best alternative in those cases.

fortnite and stuff PREACH
Getting home schooled would have saved me 10 years of crippling depression and general anxiety. I was the top 10 at both public school and my community College, but I still never gained social skills or talked. I see no difference for me personally. Also taking tests is not a hard thing to do if you just memorize everything, I don't see why the system puts a pedestal on tests to evaluate your intelligence. Pretty lazy
한진환 how would you find out someone’s aptitude in a subject then? You need this information to see whether they should go up a set, do they need extra support, and which areas they need to focus on. If you say ask them to explain concepts and answer questions about the subject, then that is pretty much exactly the same as a test, just written down
A test is there to see how you apply the knowledge that you have gained. You can't simply memorize everything without knowing how to apply it.
Arturs Krasnickis at an A* level you need to understand the ins and outs of how everything works in lots of detail. If you have just memorised the facts, you would fail the test, as you haven’t learnt it properly and don’t have the understanding. You would really struggle to get the top grades purely by memorising facts
Minecraftster148790 i meant to type can't instead of can 😂
Arturs Krasnickis I don't know about that, I went through high school doing just that and passed as #5 in my whole school. I had to wait until college to actually learn something applicable to life
I agree. The school system only cares about passing tests and it stops curiosity. I've had people in my class ask questions and the teachers like, "You don't need to know that for the test. I can tell you about it next year when we study this subject in more detail etc." It's truly ridiculous.
sugeypopplanet My school is around 200 in the USA. Why am I so depressed and sleep deprived and doing a fraction of what I could achieve then??
Yes. I was often told "we're not studying that this year", "you don't need to know that for the test", etc If I was curious about something and wanted to go deeper. I was also discouraged / not allowed to pick out boss from the library that were "above grade level" even though my reading ability was 2-3 grades (or more) ahead of my grade level.
This is so relevant!! This happens to me all the time!! It is utterly ridiculous and poopy.
Very true!
it's so true
When I learn in homeschool: I learned the lesson permanently
When I learn in public school: I learned the lesson temporary

Temporarily *

Yeahhh
Ok pull an all nighter for the test. Then dump 80% of that knowledge once I know I passed, done!
I went to public school and I’m a socially awkward freak. Public school didn’t help. Take your kids out of government schools. The best part of homeschooling is that you get to raise your children not the government.
True
same, i went to public school, got socially awkward from that, and now im homeschooled so i dont have to deal with that anymore
@@egg6295 that’s great! You’ll be better off because of it. That’s nothing you don’t know already.
@@egg6295 I hate going to public school I’m going to my senior year and I think my social awkwardness and anxiety is staying here for good
I also feel that public school dumbed me down. School hours and days are too long for children. Too much irrelevant homework too. And a lot of school subjects could be taught at home.
I was homeschooled, and to be honest, if you find the right groups and sports, no homeschooler will be socially awkward. I'm not socially awkward and I was homeschooled for all 12 years of schooling and I even made my way to College. I was always exposed to people, via homeschool groups and summer camps. So, no one should be afraid of the "Socially awkward" myth.
Being socially awkward our being not socially awkward has also to do with talent. Maybe you have the natural talent. But if your social ability's are really bad and you get less practice because you are homeschooled how would they get better? I am not from the US by the way. In my country homeschooling is very rare.
Bun Baby same
Bun Baby in some ways I guess homeschoolers would have more confidence because they never had to compare themselves to their peers and base their self esteem on that
Well I can vouch for your side saying homeschooling doesn't isolate your children, but homeschooling along with bad parenting and living in a small town definitely will.
For real! I was homeschooled all my years and if anything our parents make us to social if anything! Lol
In Homeschool you are able to do lots of different things.
(1) Learn at your own pace and aren't taught to a test.
(2) Mix and match many learning materials and learn about things that interest you.
(3) Sleep in and eat proper meals.
(4) Love to learn and are able to take breaks.
(5) For the friends end, you can join sports or homeschool groups. You also get to hang out with adults and that inrichens your social skills.
(6) HAVE FUN!

Yes! I'm socially awkward because of my school experience!
Thank you!
@@megan6574 Same!
Yees
not at all.
It is completely false that if a parent homeschools, that they have to be an expert in all these different areas. With libraries, the Internet, and homeschool groups and co-ops and classes, and with the fact that many homeschooled kids naturally learn to take initiative for their own learning, a parent is not actually a “teacher” in the traditional sense of dispensing knowledge, but more the facilitator supporting the child’s learning how to learn. I know families who homeschooled their kids all the way until they went off to college, and so for the high school years, the kids were basically taking various community college classes based on their interests and needed college requirements. So parents, don’t believe this lie!
did they have to pay for the community college classes?
Tucson Jim I’m in a public school and I can’t answer those questions.
Thank you! Yes! Every bit of this is what my homeschool life is. My mom makes sure I'm filling out her criteria, but how I do it is up to me.
@@heywhoareyou1943 don't bother he's on a mission. Either he's a teacher or his teacher touched him. In high school most of us just got by and had fun. It's only a few that took school serious and most of the time teachers didn't care. Maybe because they was under paid for the bs that was going on.
Thank you! I homeschool my kids and I have to learn alongside them on some subjects. I am teaching them how to learn as I teach them what I am learning. Lifelong learning.
I have seen both sides of homeschooling as l was homeschooled and now homeschool my own kids. The biggest irritation was not being allowed to go outside during schooling hours for fear the dreaded local busybodies might call DCS. I am not doing anything ilegal so l do not make my kids hide at home. If you are concerned because my kids are at the grocery store with me or playing outside during schooling hours try screwing off. Your input is unwanted.
This is why I love where I live. Oklahoma has so many homeschoolers; generally when we are out during traditional school hours we still run in to other school age kids!

I think I prefer homeschool. I admit, I've never been to a school dance, I've never been to all those "cool" things, but I have the best morals that can be taught. they don't teach morals in school. Not that I've heard. And I'm surrounded by the best people. not "Best in the industry" best, best in teaching you goodness, kindness, and greatness.
Amber dolphin1210 can you tell more about homeschool(im tryna be homeschool )
I homeschool my 7 and 5 year old daughters and I really enjoy hearing such positive experiences from students who are actually homeschooled 😁 thank you
In my schools they teach morals some religious schools

My school does...they teach us the seven habits and it’s rated one of the best in our county
It’s also a middle school😁👍
People are homeschooling more because public education sucks, for multiple reasons, to put it simply.
CosmicRedPanda well what are the fucking reasons
1. More students in the class means less attention to your needs.
2. They teach things that will never be needed instead of how to do taxes, fill out a job app., basic first aid etc
3. You get less time to talk to people, considering you have to raise your hand to talk and can barely touch each other when it's not lunch or recess (which goes away in middle school). This makes it even less ideal for socialization than homeschooling.
4. There's a lot of outlets for homeschoolers that you can't do if you're going to school from 9-3.
5. I personally think my own mother has a lot more insight on what I need to be learning than a stranger who just happens to have a degree in something.
6. Homeschoolers are encouraged to go outside and they do. Unlike public schoolers who don't go to recess, barely do anything in P.E. and spend most of their time studying when outside of school.
7. If your child is smarter than the average 5th grader (haha), they may be better suited to doing online courses or being tutored, rather than being forced to take "special" classes that taught my sister how to use Twitter???? or moving up a grade or two and being the weirdo of the class.
And I have gone to school for kindergarten and 2nd grade. I'm going into 6th grade and I'm currently learning piano, sign language, Spanish, violin and crochet.
Yeah... I'm going to ask my mom so I could do home school... becuz public school is so weird... to much fights.... and too much distraction......... litterly...
Don't forgot to ecounter years, years of anxiety and stress
My son is severely dyslexic. I noticed he was really struggling with his fractions. After watching him for a bit, I realized he was forgetting his multiplication facts (common for dyslexia) We spent two weeks finding tricks to remember all the multiplication facts.
Is he behind? Sure. He’s a little behind, but I can’t imagine how his sweet little heart would feel in a classroom where a teacher with too many students couldn’t take time to notice him.
Audrey Mohrmann yes. It’s because they haven’t been properly trained. One in five people are dyslexic, and yet, they don’t know how to deal with it. They are willfully ignorant about it too. I have a bachelors in early childhood Ed and Dyslexia was only mentioned once in a class I took on inclusion. It’s so frustrating.
Tell your sister she has an amazing brain! Some people on this earth desperately want to be special, and dyslexic people are. We think in 3D, and we are universal thinkers, so we can see the big picture when little details are presented to us. If she’s ever feeling low about it, just Google a list of famous dyslexic people, and I’m sure she will be excited to see who she is in the same company with.
Why people have it????
The struggling with math part is Dyscalculia, not dyslexia. Dyscalculia is numbers, dyslexia is letters. I should know, cause I have dyscalculia.
I'm homeschooled and people always ask me at the grocery store if school is off today. 😹🙌 Then my Dad says that I'm homeschooled, because he doesn't want anyone thinking I'm playing hooky 😹🤣

I was homeschooled for 9 years, attended private school for 4 years, and did public school for my 10th grade year. And honestly, homeschooling was really where I learned the most. I had homeschool group once a week so I had plenty of friends. Private school was pretty horrible but I did learn. Although I really like public school, in my school anyway, there isn't much I learned. Ppl just cheat to get by because the teachers really sucked. Plus when I was homeschooled I got out for summer in april so I didnt really mind not going to public school as a kid

When you were homeschooled, how did your parent(s) have a job and teach you?
Good story but why so many laughing emojis? None of that information is funny.
Where did you grow up? You don't have to specify a city.
Mr. Glöbetrœtter really?
Robyn 27 my dad worked and my mom stayed home. My mom was already a teacher so she didnt really have issues. Id do work on my own except for english and math.
There seems to be a misconception that home schooled kids just sit at home all day studying. There are plenty of social activities and get togethers for home schooled kids to attend.
Or we just went to normal social events. We talked with people at the grocery stores, church, or whatever. We talked with people of all walks of life and all age groups. We learned we don't need to have 40+ 'friends,' we just needed to be open, honest, kind, and willing to engage with others, wherever we were.
Rex the pig how many hours do you study? Is it continuous or you can choose what time to do work?
but they rarely do that because most of them have social anxiety. I have so many homeschooled friends and its always awkward to be around them. they can get a slightly better ACT score than me but when they break out in the interview because they barely have any social interactions, I win.
Rex the pig I must be doing something wrong, because that’s pretty much how i’ve spent my entire freshman year so far.
I'm homeschooled, and another plus of homeschool is you don't spend as much time "working on school" as public schooled people. I was in public school for one year and most of my time spent was waiting for other kids to finish their work.
Whenever someone would start to say "your parents can't teach you" I would always stop them there and say my Mom is a retired teacher whose weak subject is math, but my Dad is an accountant.
I want to be home-schooled but I'm afraid that my mom against it.. My family are too attach with public school.. They say so I can go to university.. I'm thinking of telling her about the idea and try to search evidence that homeschool are more advantage then public school.. Hope she will grant my wishes tho.. My stress build up from the expectation at school.. It is such a heavy burden... Wish me luck.. Sorry for the bad English, English is not my first language

Public school is terrible private school or homeschooling the best
Man you have what I want and I have what you want
If only we could swap positions
Luck to your plan.
Most people in the comment section don't seem to realize that most homeschooling is done online, not by your parents.
Ikr, I see a lot of people in the comments saying that parents need to be geniuses or something to teach.
It can be both...but yeah
but you can do that in REGULAR school. plus, without assessments, teaching online falls to shit because rarely do people have the self-discipline to stay on schedule. Ever notice that online universities are huge jokes in the real world? same for schooling. online schooling is a huge joke to colleges.
Jason Peng then they face the consequences like an adult. If that ain't teaching then I don't know what is.
Or through Co-ops!
If it's done right, I think homeschooling is the way to go🙂.
Yep
But have to learn in Home
Yees
I like school I am not very social but home everyday will get pretty annoying to me I already get annoyed on like days off or holidays
Yes
There’s plenty of socially awkward kids in public school too. So sounds like all positives to me for homeschooling
I've been homeschooled my entire life, and I just wanted to say that there are many different homeschool groups that kids can be a part of. These groups can do things like go on field trips, have extra classes together, etc
also online friends are a thing too
online friends barely count as friends

I was homeschooled for a while, but now I am in public school. I can tell the difference in the levels we are at because I am usually the top of the class.
Same here been home-school for 3 years then high school went to 9th grade now im 10th
I've seen a lot of interesting and new discourse surrounding homeschooling, and I have to say that I am convinced. I went to public school my entire life, and in retrospect, I feel like it truly hindered my abilities. I remember being in 4th grade and working on "6th grade math" just to relearn it again when I got to sixth grade. When I moved to a different state during middle school, the standards were different. Material I learned in 4th grade was at 6th grade level. In 6th grade, we were doing coloring homework and crossword puzzles. I remember being angry and annoyed with my education. I had to retake classes that I didn't need to retake for no reason. I took geometry in ninth grade, and when I transferred schools, they had this program called the integrated math program and put me into integrated level 2. I approached my school counselor, math teacher, and math department head that I already took this class but they denied me the ability to switch to a higher math. I was finishing my school work early and stuck waiting in a classroom until class officially ended. I finished all that was required for graduation requirements but was discouraged from leaving school at an earlier time (to go to work or take college classes) because I was told that universities would not look at me. And the social scene was just horrible!! I was exposed to people that self harmed, sold drugs, and partied like crazy! And this began in middle school! I feel like the public school system really held me back...
Homeschooling works when the student has the self discipline to study.
The same is true of public school, though. Ultimately, a student has to be willing to work to be successful in any form of education. It is up to the educator - be it a parent, a public school teacher, or a private school teacher - to teach students discipline.
@@bethw7686 yeah but in public schools it's not as fun
My mom had the education of a 5th grader.
the reason why the argument"you need to be smart to homeschool." is wrong is that most kids transition to self taught once they reach high school levels. and can complete most tasks on their own with some intervention as support.
Hi! I’m in high school and I’ve been asking my parents to homeschool me. Do you think it would be beneficial to go into homeschooling in high school and if so how can I convince my parents?
@@lyssalouise2705
Starting from HS is very difficult and depending on where you live not even possible.
My advice would be to not worry about High School and instead try out some college classes from a nearby community college.
Many offer free classes to High School students and the experience from a community college if you take online lessons will be similar to regular homeschooling but of course will be more difficult.
If it's free, sign up for one lesson see how you like being on your own and in charge of your work.
Sadly there is no easy way to move from highschool to homeschool. If your parents had started you in middle school it could have more easily worked out. The only really possible option is to transfer to a charter that allows work from home.
By starting out with college classes you will be way further ahead then most people and will have more time to discover what you do and don't like.
This is my advice, from someone who never went to a public school and did just that in highschool and now am transferring to state.
Hi, you said that the kids kind of self teach, as they get into highschool. Ive been homeschooled my whole life and im in highschool, but im on the verge of crying because I feel like im not learning enough and I really want to go to college. My parents don't teach me, i just have a quick curriculum to do but i don't study. Its because all of the resources online i feel like are either outdated or unreliable. I also can't buy any books. What should I do? Do you have any recommendations? 😭
@@tashan4932
Take a college class.
If you have a local college check if they offer free classes to HS students.
The best way to get ready for college is to just start taking classes and see how you like them.
The major issue is text book cost as depending on the college they might be devious with their prices.
The only counter I have for this is if you are a freshman or early sophomore as you are still a bit too young to start worrying about college.
@@Ravenomics idk if I'm just being over cautious, because I feel like anything I find online wouldn't be legitimate. I guess I should get over that lol. I am almost a junior but I'm mainly stressing because my mom told me I could get free college.. although I don't know if she meant classes or what. So what do I do if I take a class, but get a bad score? Is it okay? Thank you for your help!!
i do online school, does that count as home school?, but it’s better than public schools for sure.
@@shrimp7800 no homeschool and online school is different
I would call it a variation of homeschooling.
As a home schooled child, I find that many people see homeschooling as separating other kids (Home schooled children) from other children (Publicly enrolled children). To me that's completely wrong and inaccurate. I have excelled in math, history, English, etc. compared to other children.
so u r a genius?
@@jacinthadang2085 I never implied that I am a genius I have just simply implied that I have learned at a higher level than my peers.
@@jacinthadang2085 Think more... "Gifted kid" type. Not genius, but "Gifted kid" type.
I Disagree with you with separating other kids part. You don't need friends to be cool. You can make friends outside of school. You can become cool on your own
"Parents have to be damn talented in order to homeschool their kids." Not really. I mean- there are things called tutors, the internet, and skillshare websites. The only things that are necessary to homeschool your kids is the willpower, the mindset, and the flexibility to come at problems and situations at different angles. Money definitely helps if you have that bonus.
"What about socialization?" I have no idea where people get this idea where the majority of homeschoolers live under ROCKS for their lives, but I can reassure you that we DON'T. There are internet forums, support groups, co-ops, religious gatherings, youth groups, community activities, and sports that your child can get involved in. Most of my homeschooling friends are probably some of the most socially active people that I know. I can barely get an email or a call from them on a regular basis. (And yes- some of us actually CALL our friends rather than hide from our phones when we get an incoming call) If the only reason why you don't want to homeschool your kid is because you're afraid they're going to end up a hermit.... just don't. 99% of us turn out okay. Which I'd reason is a better percentage than the kids that go to public school.
Exactly. All you have to do is WANT to do it and choose a different route. You can pick one or more people in your life to teach/mentor your kid their unique skills , etc. There are so many resources. The whole world is a resource. Once kids step into school and become little soldier prisoners their options become severely limited. They are not nurtured or made to feel special and unique. They are told to dress alike, talk alike, raise their hand, be on time, walk in a line and keep your head down and mouth shut.
Right! There's so much room for growth and exploration when you're homeschooled. There are literally no downsides to homeschooling this day and age. Now the only reason why homeschooling isn't a good option for people is because they physically can't be there for their children (single parents working multiple jobs), or it's due to the personalities of the parents and the children.
SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK
well, what grade are you? trust me, you don't want to be homeschooled past grade 7. i'm a junior applying to college, and i'll give you a little briefing on why homeschooling is bad past grade 7 if you wanna read.
--By grade 7, often parents wont have the skill and time necessary to fully teach a good foundation to kids, and kids won't have the self-discipline to learn it themselves. While skillshare sites sound appealing, you are practically self learning without any assessments, making it hard to keep on schedule (unless your self-discipine is very good), and if you have a concept that the sites don't explain clearly, there is nobody to look to. and if you're rich enough to pay for tutors, you might as well go to a good private school. Also, you wants kids to have at least 2 years to assimilate into the school environment before highschool, when they MUST be in school. colleges will look at home schooled kids as jokes, and having one year in homeschool in your highschool years will be extremely detrimental.
You won't be able to take AP courses, your GPA will suffer, and your 9th grade grades will not count. In most cases of private colleges, like Carnegie Mellon, Emory, Northwestern, NYU, etc., one highschool year in homeschool is enough for a college an admissions counselor to laugh and throw your application into the trash, no matter how impressive your other years are.
Schools also give kids the opportunity to participate in academic competitions or extracurricular teams, which colleges look at very highly.
I was private schooled from grades 8-11, and I really do think it paid off a lot. I didn't even study for my ACT and only studied 4 days for my SAT, and got full scores. private schools also give kids more opportunities, like college counselors, and they take of your kid just like a parent would. The environment is friendly and positive, and since the class sizes are so small, the community is very tight-knit. if you are indeed paying for tutors, i'd argue a private school is a much better bet.
sure, i guess you'll turn out "OK," and you'll be able to go to a local state/city university that already has a high acceptance rate, and you'll be able to get a mediocre occupation. but if you really want to excel, homeschooling doesn't provide that platform.
@Jason Peng I've already graduated, and I haven't stepped foot inside of a school. I think it really depends on each person's interpretation of the word "excell."
Now a lot of this, as I've said before, hinges a lot on the parents' and the kids' personalities. And it all depends on what you want to do as a career. I'm personally an artsy person- music, writing, and art was always at the heart and soul of everything that I've done. The creative world has been rapidly evolving to the point to where as long as your portfolio is good and you can work well with a team or in a timely fashion, saying that you've gone to college is just a bonus on your resume.
For some people, going to college is essential for the line of work they want to enter into. For me- if I can do it without going into debt, then that's something I'll consider. The only things I'd gain in college is experience working in multiple styles (which is something I'm already currently doing), MAYBE how to work a decent program on a computer, a fancy paper saying that I've spent years working in the subject of art, and a few connections.
And sure. There are colleges that look at homeschooler's applications, scoff, and pitch them out the window. But once again- the work environment is rapidly changing. There are multiple companies and colleges who are specifically hunting for homeschoolers because they know that they're most likely getting a valuable asset once they find one.
...that is IF they decide to go the usual college and job route.
I think your advice might be good for someone who's looking to get into the college of their dreams. However, for someone like me, college is "meh" and not a priority.
Meanwhile I’m socially impaired and went to a public school. The logic in this comment section is flawed.
You know what? I actually blame the public school system as the reason why I have social anxiety today. Well actually I wouldn't blame all of the public school system, but my local French public school system. The education was actually pretty good, but their French language policies were garbage and caused me more harm than good. The policy at my French school board was to always speak French, which is good, but the way they punished you was cruel. Basically we had a French festival once a month where we'd play little games across all of the classrooms, which was pretty fun, but in order to participate in the festival, you needed these tickets.
The way the tickets worked was that you started out with 3 tickets every month after the end of a festival. You can't gain those tickets back, you can only lose them, and you would lose them by getting caught speaking English anywhere at the school. The teachers thought of this as a way to promote the children to speak more French, but it did way more harm to me than good... You see I was only 5 years old and I was growing up in a bilingual household, so I didn't know how to properly express my thoughts in French all of the time. I would express my thoughts in both languages, but whenever I would get caught expressing them in English to my peers then I would get punished for it. The teachers and teachers' assistants wouldn't even really help you with what you were trying to say either. The main focus wasn't that you weren't speaking French, but that you lost the ticket, and you felt like shit for it afterwards. The way I took it was that I lost an opportunity to have fun with my peers because I was just trying to express my thoughts as a five year old. And when you're five you can't really explain it to your parents either, it just leaves a mental impact on you.
As a child you just try and cope with it with the most stupid methods ever. Watch out for the teachers, so you can say what you were trying to say in English. That started me on the paranoia train, then it went to how do I say what I'm thinking in French to the teacher, when I don't know how to say it. I can't say what I'm trying to say in English to them because I'll just get punished for speaking English. Eventually the pressure built up too much and I stopped talking at school because it was too difficult to keep track of everything as a child. You become paranoid in class because if the teacher picks you to answer the question and you're not able to do it in French then you get punished for it. I completely stopped talking at school after that. Then my social anxiety evolved into another monster after that point.
Maybe I would believe that I'm inclined to have social anxiety, but actually my social game outside of school is pretty good. I have no problem expressing my thoughts in a casual area, and actually I get too chatty, but the minute I'm in any professional environment, my social confidence is gone. I love being bilingual and the perks it gave me, but I think I would have benefited from being home schooled for the first few years of my life. School didn't help my social skills, they only made them worse and the best social skills I learned were from outside of that crooked system. So when I have children someday, I'd like to have them home schooled during their elementary days because of my experience. It'll be a challenge, but I'm a person that likes a challenge and benefits from it. Although this all depends on what my kids want to do.
And now let my comment be buried in the sea of comments because I spent too much time on this bullshit. :P
Well at least you know how to deal with other in the real world and not live in a fantasy land where everything is perfect
No, the logic in your statement is flawed. People here are not saying that if you to public school your wont be socially inept it merely lowers the chances of so and even if you come out inept you will still have more social experiences to pull from which will let you have better interactions.
You didn’t only miss the social skills train at your school, you also missed the comprehension train. No one said that if you went to public school, you will for sure 100% not be awkward. It means it will LIKELY make you more inclined to develop great social skills because of the high exposure (practice makes perfect)
Wynter Fox Or just teach them Neon Genesis Evangelion. Maybe that will lower their social anxiety.
As a homeschool mom of 3 kids (one with special needs), and as an individual who was homeschooled, thank you for this video. As many have stated, in high school I was taking AP English in an advanced class with a teacher (I also had teachers for math), I was also able to work a job and take college courses at the local community college. I loved the freedom of homeschool and I still love it today. My kids are all a grade ahead of their subjects, get plenty of social time, we are sooo blessed to be able to do it. Working from home is super hard but I’m so glad I have the option.
One huge homeschool topic not mentioned in this is the co-ops that are becoming increasingly more popular, where homeschooling families get together so that parents who can't teach certain subjects (like sciences, robotics, coding, sports, history, musical instruments, etc, etc) can have the option of other parents teaching their kids them. This also provides a way to have your kids in a social environment. Just some food for thought
Okay, so first of all, homeschoolers are NOT unsocialized. In fact, I would even say that we're better socialized than traditionally schooled students, because we daily interact with all age groups, not just our peers and immediate family. Second, you don't have to teach your kid everything yourself!! There are TONS of resources and curriculums out there for parents who want to homeschool. For example, my mom is not a math person, so when I started high school math, I used a DVD, textbook and workbook set instead. Third, taking your kid out of traditional schools does NOT mean they will no longer see their friends. Your child has plenty of opportunities to see their friends at other times, such as after school, on the weekends, etc. Fourth, one of the best advantages (in my experience) of homeschooling is being able to work at your own pace, meaning you can slow down when certain subjects are hard, and speed up when something is easy. You don't have to keep pace with the rest of a class.
As Tim Hawkins once said, "We think homeschoolers are unsocialized, but then you go to public/private school, and what do you get in trouble for? /Socializing/."
Edit: Also, on the issue of missing prom. There are co-op proms, local homeschool proms, and about a hundred other proms your child can attend.
Of course no comments on the person who actually knows what they're talking about.
Homebirth Homeschool Homestead Yep. People who never had any experience with being home schooled shouldn't even be writing comments. When I see those comments (that trash talk home school without proper grammar), I just ignore them and move on. (While thinking to myself what life they'll have since those comments usually come from people who attend public school.) I'm not home schooled myself so I am not a reliable source of information but I am open to it due to the videos I watch and the websites I look at.
The thing is, the public school system in my local area is actually pretty good. We still deal with the traditional issues but our teachers are well paid and most of them actually grow attached to their students. Still, if I had a chance, I would have picked home school over public school simply because it worked for a lot more people. The main reason why home school gets so much negativity surrounding it is the wrong information being spread, people tending to believe everything on the Internet, and other things about people.
It's not a difference between public school and home school honestly. We need to focus on improving our public schools in the first place and admit that both methods have pros and cons. It's just ironic that the people who claimed that public school is better have horrible reasoning and absolutely no evidence.
I am a "homeschooler" and I hate my life and am very unsocialized.
Alison Carlisle I honestly never knew why parents would chose to homeschool their kids. I’m not trying to be mean but I am just telling the truth. Public school is cheaper and easier and you can make a lot of memories to look back on. But don’t take this to seriously because You obviously are obsessed with being homeschooled.
@@gimmethetea9101 Couldn't agree more. I've always wanted to go to a public school, at least that would mean actually going somewhere/doing *something.* Homeschooling ruined my life, and I am suicidal because of it.
I've been a teacher over a decade and have noticed a few things. In a classroom full of 20 kids, two or three invariably slow things down and distract everyone else. At home school, this wouldn't necessarily transpire. The lone teacher can give individual attention. With two dozen kids, the attention is lopsided to the troublemakers and slower students, which in turn, slows down progress.
A significant determination if a child performs well, however, is if the parent pays attention and takes an interest.
Ever heard of bad parents?
duustin crawford no
I wish the teachers slowed down for me in public school. Most of them just plowed through the material and never gave a 2nd thought to me. Even when I asked questions they got frustrated. I just needed a bit more time to get things down and they had no patience for that. So now I homeschool my own kids. We hired a private tutor for some things and we do have friends who homeschool that we get together and do science experiments and field trips with. It's also nice because we can pack up and leave for a week or 2 and do school on the road.
Mama Pro same with me when it came to math. I only had one math teacher who was patient with me. He would explain the same concept 15 times to me if he has to, and with the same patience as if he was explaining it the first time.
Others would ask me a question about some math problem and I’d say: sorry, I didn’t understand. She would look very annoyed and say: what part did you not understand?
There are wonderful teachers but some not so much
@@duustincrawford2945 my dad didn't have very amazing parents when he was young and homeschooled, but he is still very smart and successful. Books do more teaching than parents a lot of the time when kids are homeschooled. I'm homeschooled too btw
As a 13 year old homeschooled child who is doing a GCSE in psychology, geography and classical history this year as well as being part of a youth circus troupe, I personally think homeschooled is better for me.
There are two extremes in the community, being obsessed with academic work and doing no academic work. Its quite interesting watching the two types clash and watching them in study meets ect...
Really it depends on the adults, their mindset and how well they organise the week, yes you need structure. Personally I feel like I can think more freely, understand people better as well as speak my own mind, which I'm often told to shut up for anyway.
Homeschool gang, Line up!

Recently started homeschooling.. In 10th grade
You don’t really have to have that much knowledge to homeschool kids lol All of those skills that were mentioned can be learned through tutors, teachers and groups specifically made for those purposes. Also the curriculum does most of the teaching. Most courses require little parental input. Homeschool was the best thing that ever happened to me, seeing as I was suicidal and depressed at the end of 4th grade. It was a little rocky at first but I wouldn’t change a second of it.
I was also being suicidal in 4th grade bc i have depression and anxiety since 1st grade bc I was bullied and threatened badly....now I am goin to Middle School and my 1st grade bully is there.......he bullied me up to 3rd grade that’s why I wanna be online Schooled😓🥺
Why does everyone think that a school is the only place kids congregate or socialize. These kids are kept in a desk, told not to talk unless they raise their hand, don't dare touch or hug someone...how much "socializing" do you really think is going on? Kids that are homeschooled go to extra classes like martial arts, art, music, dance, sports...plus hanging out with kids in the extended family, their church, neighborhood or community. Older kids can get a job, start a little business or take college classes at the local community college. Homeschooled students are being actively sought out by universities and employers now. I homeschooled mine, they graduated college and have successful businesses and careers. I did it while I worked a full time job and ran a home business. You can teach/learn 24 hours a day. I went to 8th grade public school...BUT I continued to learn and self taught myself everything from the library, book stores, other humans and the internet. ANYBODY can do this. Any class you want can be found FREE on the internet. Research Charlotte Iserbyt and The Dumbing Down Of America by the public school system...and Communist agenda. Public schools are indoctrination centers.
So this is where your comment is! I was looking for you! I completely agree- I'm annoyed with how people think we're hermits that don't know how to say hi. The facts are in: homeschooling is the superior education if it's done well with resourceful and understanding parents. In every way, shape, and form.
Conspiracy Smurf At school I hugged my girlfriend and the school cop got mad at me. So yeah don’t dare touch anyone.
I went to school near downtown Dallas in a very large district. I did very well there...but I was Teacher's Pet...I was Principal's Pet, too. I excelled at taking standardized tests and was their little mascot paraded to Spelling Bees and other events that needed student representation. I made straight A's and later took Honor's classes. I spent a lot of time doing tasks for the teachers like grading papers and taking names...lol. I hated school...and yet I loved to learn and would skip school and once I was skipping and I went to the 8 story big Dallas Library to load up on books...I had a bout 20 stacked up to my nose in the elevator when my Truant Officer Dallas Cop stepped in...he just smiled and sighed and told me to go to school tomorrow. I always wanted to be a teacher. The problem is the school and the people running the system. My kids went to public until 7th grade and then after drama we had to make a change and it was the best thing that ever happened to the family. :)
I personally think that there's a sort of special bond you form with other students when you attend classes that you don't like together and can help each other pass the tests. I have not been homeschooled myself, so I don't know to what extend that sort of socializing is possible when you don't attend schools. Also, you almost passed as an intellectual, until you mentioned the 'Communist agenda' lol.
I think some people have the idea that we wake up, eat breakfast and our parents immediately start "teaching" us without a book or anything, just their pure knowledge, then we spend all day studying and only going out to stare creepily at the children playing.
Homeschooling is wayyy better regardless of what anyone scored 🤷🏻♀️
If I were to be a parent in the future, I would just homeschool my child so they won’t feel stressed and bored in school.
The “I don’t know the answer, let’s figure it out together” attitude is one of the best things to instill in a child. In homeschooling, this is modeled naturally every day.
You don’t need to be an expert in every subject to teach your child. You just need to be willing to learn alongside them. And when a subject proves too difficult - perhaps chemistry isn’t your cup of tea - you sign the child up for an online class or have him attend a chem class in a co-op.
As someone who was homeschooled from 4-12th you don't have to be qualified or know many subjects to home school your kid. All you need is motivation for both child and parent, and a good book. I self taught myself advance math subjects when I was home schooled.
Also I did go to prom as a home school student. I went with other home schoolers who I was in a drama group with and I had a date with me. I also went to track and field competing against schools and went to biology classes with fellow homeschoolers.
and i'm assuming you went to a pretty shitty public university, and got a pretty average occupation.
homeschooling simply doesn't provide the platform to really excel. any good college will laugh at a homeschooled student's application and trash it.
Jason Peng And I assume you weren't home schooled so what would you know about it? I've gone to private school and I was home schooled. I know of many home schoolers who have gone to get prestigious positions as well as a home school graduate who is a leader in the medicial field.
There are many people who have gone to public school and after highschool they end up working at McDonalds or Walmarts or they go to college and drop out. It's a pretty bad argument on your part.
The truth is you can succeed in either public school, private school, or being homeschooled. What matters is your determination or curiosity. Though out of the 3 options one tends to do better when being homeschooled and the facts are in this video.
being homeschool don't mean one not schooling. say that someone only did [k] then was homeschool don't mean one not social with other people [ who mom and dad wouldn't nice] that person still leave the home right?
Jason Peng you are so absolutely incorrect. But I think I responded to you another comment. If it wasn't you, I'll go grab that post and put it here for your perusal.
Jason Peng, My 30 year old son might be surprised to hear that. He was homeschooled from 2nd grade through high school, accepted to his first choice (private) college (along with several other home schooled students), but was also considered by Georgetown, Harvard, and Duke. He graduated with two Bachelor degrees, is married, and works in the IT field in Los Angeles earning a six figure salary. Seems to me that he did alright.
BTW, plenty of homeschoolers are sought after by top level private universities. They are often smart, self-motivated, and curious, attributes that the school system often kills in kids.
My mother pulled me out of school in 2nd grade, we were currently in one of the best school districts in the country as well! since then I have tried many curriculums including Abeka. we finally settled on a program called Classical Conversations. This program is very intense, you meet with a class and tutor once a week where your teacher essentially briefs/lectures you on everything you are required to learn for the week. After that everything is left up to you, whether you get your work done or not is your responsibility.
Many homeschoolers have acquired an amazing time management skill as well as growing independence. The final years of high school through this curriculum are so rigorous they are often counted as college. In fact most CC students graduate highshcool with an associates degree. Many colleges including King's College in New York City will grant you almost $24,000 scholarship money JUST for graduating the program!
While Homeschooling is not for everyone it opens a realm of possibilities for both the students academics and social life! Most of us have more friends/are more sociable than regular public schooled kids as homeschooling has nothing to do with your social life. In fact there are more socially awkward kids in public school as apposed to homeschool meaning it has nothing to do with your education rather your personality/ability to approach others.
What level of challenge are you in? I am in challenge one and I am really feeling the pressure. We started our first year of homeschooling in challenge A which was incredibly crazy but we got a system kinda worked out lol
Certainly interested in home schooling now. At my church there was a family whose kids were homeschooled and were a part of a homeschooling group. None of them were awkward or socially inept. And most of them went to university
The many homeschool kids I have met in my life are so much happier and well adjusted than many of the people that I know who went to public school. It’s almost night and day. When done right, homeschooling is definitely better for kids. You aren’t going to get a custom learning experience like that in school. You’re just not. Plus you have more time to do fun stuff than you do at school. School kids today spend very little time actually socializing. Recess is a thing of the past. People are wrong about what goes on in schools.
I have a hunch these were white upper/middle class kids!
I'm homeschooled and I might be able to graduate in when I'm 15. So yeah!

I say homeschool because the school education isn’t that good unless it’s Finland but the American school system only cares about your exams they don’t care about what you study that is the opposite of Finland.
thats a bit generalized. my school is one of the best in north america
As an American in high school, I completely agree.
WellTaco that is not true the American school system cares about sending kids into college so they can get good jobs
WellTaco Canada has a good education system
Jett Newton Not even a bit generalized alot generalized
i go to traditional and it is hard to socialize bc of my social anxiety and depression that started from bullying in the past, some ppl are still mean now. school also gives me alot of stress for tests. so i do believe homeschooling is better.
y’all better not forget homeschool groups, homeschoolers socialize enough.
You r not socialising with different people
You are socialising with people who don't meet people who are not home schooled
I think homeschooling is a bad idea
And parents are for sure not experienced enough to teach, that's why there's a qualification to become a teacher
I like homeschool so u know what your kids are learning and Helps them to not get bullied at school
The good news is that if you're homeschooled, you're always one of the most popular kids at your school ;)
Wrong, that was my sister.
Aggressive Elevator Music "one of" not "the"

Not necessarily. Especially if you go to a co-op. A teacher I had hated my guts but smiled in my face.... she really was creepy.. not sure if she was even human

"You won't socialize as much"
What if you can't socialize in normal schools because the kids just shush tou because you aren't their friends. I honestly can't make friends because of the fact im not their friend. They just say "shut up" and shove me away.
Gonna be homeschooled this year!❤️ wish me luck!

Homeschooling is not a way to save money. Infographics seemed to put it as if because it only costs a couple thousand per year vs public school costing $12,000 a year that you save the excess money, but that isn’t accurate. When you homeschool you still have to pay taxes that go towards the school system that you are not even using. So to homeschool, you actually have to have the money to pay for school materials for all your children ever single school year. Homeschooling is far from an economical choice, it is a sacrifice.
Levi Pittman Yes! It definitely is a sacrifice. In no way are you saving money, but honestly, homeschooling is worth the extra money.
I think they said it costs 'the people' $12,000 per year, which I took to mean the taxpayers. In other words, on average it is more financially efficient for society as a whole, to homeschool.
Laura Castle a charter school is totally different then actual at home homeschooling. That is financially backed by the state and closer resembles a private school then a stay at home parent teaching their kids
@@lauracastle8778 I get what you mean. We do that too here in Utah. It's still homeschooling, they just give us money and we tell them what we did. (to prevent from fraud.)
The homeschooled kids I know - all were wealthy. I did a sport, which costs honest to god money, and there were charter kids, private kids, homeschool kids, and the rare public school kid (me). From my perspective, one parent has to be a stay at home parent, and you need to be financially stable. It looked like they homeschooled for the flexibility of time. The demographic could have been affected by the fact that we all did this sport, which costs like 100$ for a 25-30min one on one session(class).
Although, homeschooling does not mean parents must handle all the teaching directly by themselves, right? Also, as I understand it, groups can be formed, so it doesn't have to be such a solitary experience. Is this true?
mothman84, you are correct in both instances.
Yes, there is now even a program where kids combine their learning with their love of Minecraft and play with other Minecraft homeschoolers from around the world and even take live highschool level classes. There is of course also the stuff on the local level like co-op, 4h, and the vastly larger homeschool conventions.
Not only is this true, but most public school districts must allow homeschooled students to join things like band and sports if they want to. Plenty of homeschoolers do a hybridization like that.
In my experience, a lot of preschoolers have tutors in high school.
100%. Parents are RESPONSIBLE to provide the education- it doesn't mean they do all the direct teaching. There are co-ops, online classes and dual enrollment in colleges for older students. If a parent isn't confident in their abilities they find someone who is.
If my teacher called me out in front of the whole class for my grade, I would just say, “My grades don’t define who I am. I define who I am.”
I actually did this as a child lol. I was mostly an A student, but I remember saying out loud that grades are just symbols written on a pice of paper and they do not define me :D

The team appeared at Vidcon this year I never went to Vidcon this year and they never revealed their faces but they said they would be at Vidcon but not show who they are the reason I say team is sometimes you hear one voice in one video and a different voice in another video one way to possibly found out who they are is for anyone in Vidcon who is new and also recognize their voices but that second option might not work because it partially sounds like they use a bit of voice distortion in theory it seems like it or we just wait until they possibly the two man team or more reveal themselves
I am so grateful my parents homeschooled me.
I could care less about having a girlfriend, going to prom, and having little to no time to do the things I like.
One thing that would have been nice is to not have High school age sports leagues be restricted to High schoolers.
And I do have friends. Why is it that people think that you can only make friends at school and nowhere else?
(This was bumped to my notifications so I'll update.)
Currently graduating from my 2 year college with a 4.0 and transferring to state to get my 4 year.
yeah they would
*couldn't care less
About high school sports replacements, do you have house leagues at your local community center, that could be a decent replacement.
Can you explain how did u get the chance to be homeschooled? What can I do to have homeschool? How are people from government accepts and how is it works out? And also is homeschooling reasons change like do u have to be sick mentally or physically? Can you guys lemme know I am seriously thinking to be homeschooled
@@Birbbb No you don't have to have any physical or mental problems,you can ask your parents for the first one if how to apply and also you have more time to do things on your on pace
Im home schooled and its better then public schools
lapiz x leah but don’t you get lonely?
lapiz x leah is it expensive ?
lapiz x leah than* think again.
@@aafx3083 no. I have charter school
@@yomy-6135 no....why the hell do people think that? Lmao
They say that homeschooled kids don’t socialise, yet in normal school you get in trouble for socialising......
I think it depends on how the parents teach their kid and how well they teach them.
School has failed me in every way to teach me anything that actually sticks with me or that's interesting. That's the biggest problem with education. They cram useless knowledge you won't remember after a week so the test scores look good.
I've had teachers purposely give us correct answers to tests because of it. It's a competitive market, and people are greedy. I've taught myself more by simply just reading and learning things in books or informationional articles. Hell, even CYBER CHASE taught me more math in 20 minutes than an entire school week !!
UsoppFanGirl Maybe it's just you? I have no problems retaining knowledge expecially not math.
UsoppFanGirl Also it isn't useless knowledge. You clearly have no grasp on what you are learning and why you are learning it.
obviously you don't pay attention in class. also, they give you a textbook, just read it and stop complaining. a single textbook is enough to learn from.
school is fine. just because you have some bad teachers doesn't mean the entirety of the schooling system is shit. nobody who goes to a good college like and Ivy or good private college comes out of homeschool.
Oh, back to the whole homeschool vs public school... I am homeschooled.
I am super focused on what I want to do (videography and audio engineering) Chances are your parents are not teachers... So my parents use online school for me which is sooooo amazing. Anyways I am only taking the 4 core classes, my mom knows I hate school so I am currently taking economics instead of history and personal financial literacy instead of math. The school day is super short (only about 4 hours) which gives me time to snowboard every other day and maintain my videography career. I’m 16 and currently own a business while other people usually start paying $30k/year for collage or are out socializing with other children XD
ikr, i learn alot more from vsauce and things than in public school. im going to 7th grade, and i like algebra, as math is one of my passions, and i guess history is sort of important too, but if i can comprehend high school and college level texts according to the tests you gave me, and Honors classes aren't that challenging, can you make a third set of classes for the kids who do REALLY well in the hard classes? i literally understood linear equations in a school day or 2. honestly, sometimes i think about being self-educated by taking online classes or something. and what's annoying too, is the fact that social barriers exist in skipping grades. if they didn't, and i could be taught online, i TOTALLY would be.
Regardless of this argument, public education really needs to change it's ways. There needs to be less time spent on arbitrary math and history, and a little more focus on just general adulting. Of course, keep the basics of all subjects we normally experience, but leave the heavier stuff for college. Give us a bit more insight on getting a job, doing taxes, food preservation, budgeting, etc. I know a lot of those things are built into some of the subjects already, but you'll get like one assignment out of a hundreds on determining something like net/gross income, but rather on focusing how that affects your adult life, you just do more adding and subtracting. Breezing passed what the lesson SHOULD be.
i hope you do realize "arbitrary math" is required in 60% of the job market, and engineers, which make up 40% of the stem market, avg 150k+ a year.
not to mention medical specialists, which avgs 400k+ a year.
i'd argue getting a job of 400k a year is way better than learning how to do your taxes, which can be resolved with a few youtube videos.
Dingleberry Tech no math science and LA should be kept the same they are to important but History is useless half the time it’s propaganda made by the gov to hide the fact that America causes wars
Dingleberry Tech- Isn't that home economics? I hear it has been phased out of schools, and if that is so they should think about bringing it back.
edit: I looked it up, and it's now called "Family and consumer science ".
Dingleberry Tech, Amen!
Jason Peng, As someone who has been sought to help struggling students, I can tell you that these requirements are not worth the struggle to every student, especially when they are more cut out for the other 40% of the job market. And every time you are requiring one thing that a particular kid doesn't really need, you are keeping him/her from something else that could be far more valuable. Really, a lot of it is the worship of certain kinds of intelligence over others.
High School really needs a different approach to graduation not every child needs to graduate with the goal of going to college affect most of them don't. They need to graduate and go into a construction apprenticeship or go to trade school for welding or electrician or Plumbing. These are jobs that are not being filled that are very, very much needed that make a good wage. Our high schools are so focused on getting our kids graduating and into a college but no one is considering that these skilled labor jobs are necessary and not getting filled. There are more jobs available then unemployed people to fill them and the majority of them are in these skilled labor categories that either require an apprenticeship or trade school and not College.
We need to bring back the old system where a child depending on their skill set either started training for trade or training for college depending on their skill set and their interest. Not everyone should go to college I really wish when I had finished high school there had been seamstress classes, sewing classes available to learn how to upholster furniture and sew a lot of different items from purses to making and altering clothing. I'm learning on my own through books and TH-cam and trial and error it would have been really nice to have some skilled teachers to guide me and I'm hoping to be able to offer these subjects in classes to kids in the future. Once my own are done homeschooling.
I really, truly frickin' hate that weak and pathetic excuse that the reason why most parents don't have their kids homeschooled is that they want their children to socialize with other children their age---it's nothing but absolute utter bullcrap! When I attended public school, the only form of socialization that I got was nothing but getting bullied constantly from elementary school to middle school (middle school being the worst of all). So, when I was getting bullied during my high school years and was going through huge amounts of depression, anxiety, and self-esteem issues, my mom finally took me out and had me homeschooled and I did way better. Mainly because I could concentrate on my schoolwork due to having privacy and working at my own pace. Plus when I was in public school, I didn't even care about making friends or being popular since I was a super shy child since I was little and I already serious trust issues due to my mom being an authoritarian parent. Along with me not giving a dang about going to my homecoming dance or my junior/senior prom because I'm not a party girl.
And besides, the real why most parents don't want to homeschool their kids is really because they believe that it's not their job to educate their children. And they don't want to spend quality time with their kids either.
I’ve been homeschooled my entire life, and it’s awesome. I study even after school hours because I’m genuinely interested, I have a small social circle 🥰. And I’m very happy! :D
Thanks for this. I'm homeschooling for the first time ever my daughter in 3rd grade and as of today we finished the whole curriculum. Starting next grade in January. We are loving it . My baby of 3 years old, is getting so much from his sister's schooling
Our 3 kids have done great home schooled destroying the state testing every year.
Just like you destroyed their social skills?
Master- Baitor
are you trying to get in an argument? what a bait, you are!
Master- Baitor Since you are baiting me, I'll take you up on that, if only to prove a point how dumb that argument is. Things my children do, with a LOT more time for each than any brick and mortar schooled child would allow. 4H, TKD (2nd Dan and now training others x2 kids and poom x1) , Theater, State artsin, home school association and events.. Then other more family related.. ValleyFair any time time allows not dictated by school schedules. Family vacations any time anywhere around the world if desired, get togethers, reunions. Beaches, volunteering at animal shelter, We host/attend community gardening events such as training and garden management/care. I have taught all our kids how to repair thier own cars, so now they are helping thier friends, and thier friends friends. I could go on for many pages. This is just a small set of the more common or long term things my kids have been social with. They have MORE real life social activity than standard public schoolers who are in an environment full of click, artificial meme driven cultures. Your argument is weak, ill informed and rather ignorant.
wolvenar
okay
Wolvenar
Hey memes are great, there is no need to insult the interest of others because they don't fit your own.Sorry if I have misinterepted your last sentence. I'm just having fun
As a recent graduate from 13 years of homeschooling, I can honestly say I LOVED IT! I learned so much more than I usually would have at a typical school (and on my own time schedule....I was able to travel all over the country). Plus, I'm completely socially adjusted! I was able to make friends through co-op, sports, and the robotics team I was on. Believe me. No homeschooler will be lacking for friends if the parents are maybe willing to drive a little farther than usual.
I want to go homeschool, because I hate seeing other people.
But my parents don't want.
🙍🙍🙍😢😞😞😣
Show this video to your parents
Try seeing other people and do homeschooling
Him: try being with someone 24/7-
COVID: I got you bro
*makes everyone go to quarantine*
I instantly trust people more when I find out they’re homeschooled
average joe my high school friend was new to public school she was observant and bored lol she told me she missed homeschool.
I was homeschooled for most of my school life And I Loved It!!! At first my mother put me in a private Methodist preschool I was the smallest and youngest in the class, the teachers loved me but when my mother came to see how I was doing the much bigger kids where bulling me punching and kicking me, and the teacher gave me a diaper from another kid and I was potty trained but the teacher didn't want to be bothered with taking me to the bathroom! So my mother immediately took me out of that zoo!😂 So I had the really cool really educated mother, she made it her job that I had lots of fun and friends not just in the neighborhood but around town! Oh and I took up skateboarding as my sport, she taught me how to work on house since she was a realtor, and I graduated from high school at the age of 13 though the board of education! Lived the retirement life for a short moment started owning my own properties at the age of 18 and since then have owned more the 9 properties! So Yeah THE HOMESCHOOLED LIFE IS THE BEST LIFE AND I WOULD NEVER CHANGE ANYTHING ABOUT IT!!! AND I WILL BE HOMESCHOOLING MY KIDS TOO!
Alexis Giles that's awesome! You have a beautiful mother god bless.
here bc im writing a whole essay to convince my mother to homeschool me🤡✌️
But if you're homeschooled, how are you able to go to university and get a job?
Good luck!
Crossing fingers for you! Did it work?
@@laurengaskell2098 almost, but i gave up on trying to convince my mother
@@melduhsia I dont live in USA so if I dont go to university I can't get a high paying job and live a peaceful life
my mom homeschooled me cuz in 4th grade I still couldn't read cuz my teachers screamed at me every time I needed help. and they kept putting me i speech theropy classes. but i couldnt talk right cuz my teeth were crooked. i hate our school system
This if false: "You also have to be the kind of parent who fully understands subjects such as physics, chemistry, calculus, the industrial revolution, and at the same time, be able to decipher some great works of literature or know how to write a compelling short story." And the rest after that is utterly silly, including the statement "you must be damn talented if you want to homeschool kids." The parent only has to be talented/intelligent enough to do some of the following: order some printed curricula, be willing to switch to different curricula if one isn't working for one or more subjects, know how to watch some youtube videos or read blogs/articles, sign up for some online classes, exchange homeschool class favors with another homeschooling parent differently talented, sign up for a homeschooling co-op, have the child's other parent or aunt/cousin/grandfather teach one class, or pay for a tutor for a strategic subject. If the parent knows how to learn, he can teach his child how to learn, and knowing all of it himself isn't necessary.
Right on, they can also enroll them in community college courses when they get to middle high school age.
Yes! My mom homeschools my siblings and I. She is smart, but hates math and science. However, that doesn’t mean I didn’t learn math or science well. I just finished a community college biology course and I absolutely LOVED it! Parents only have to know enough to get you enrolled in the right curriculums and programs.
We added TKD and 4H to the mix of home schooling for the physical and socialization. The two of them made for incredible benifits on top of home school.
wolvenar what is TKD?
Taekwon-Do. And that's great! I do Taekwon-Do and absolutely love it!
I do online highschool and do real college classes and lectures which isn't possible in a public highschool where I live. I also am able to complete change my highschool courses to fit my occupation and it has really taught me how to teach myself and learn self control. Homeschooling is definitely not for everyone but I absolutely love it and it helps me so much.
So happy that we started as parents homeschooling our child. We get to know what his learning strengths are and what we noticed is he learns faster and more focused if we integrate his lessons through play. We even started our TH-cam channel on his lessons through play.
I was homeschooled for 10 years. I loved it and hope to homeschool my own kids someday!
Wow
Me too I need to homeschool my own kids someday too
I love that this channel has made a video about homeschooling. As a homeschooler myself, I often feel misrepresented as most news coverage about homeschoolers tends to be negative. However, this video has done a fairly good job weighing the pros and cons. If I were to redo this video I would make the following revisions:
Homeschoolers are socialized. Despite the name homeschooling homeschoolers spend a lot of the time out of the house on field trips with other homeschoolers, trips around the country, and playing with the neighbors. When I was in elementary school I went to a history co-op with friends every other Friday, field trips at least once a month, and yearly trips to locations like Boston or Williamsburg. So we do get out and about. This brings me to my second revision, homeschoolers have friends to go to prom with, and proms to go to. So homeschoolers do not miss out on prom and sometimes even attend more proms than public schoolers because there are multiple options for homeschool proms. Finally, parents do not need to be talented or very educated to homeschool their children, nor do they have to write their own curriculum. There are many online resources such as Khan Academy and curriculums such as Bob Jones, Apologia, aBeka, IEW, and Singapore Math to name a few. These allow parents to have a plan but they can still customize as needed. I am part of a homeschool co-op that teaches many subjects this helps supplement any deficits my parents may have (a.k.a. any science). As for the education of the parents, I have a friend who is homeschooled and is a straight A student and very good in science. However, neither parent has a bachelors degree or is scientifically inclined. This just goes to show that the education of the parents does not determine a child's success but rather often lies with the child's ability to teach him/her self.
Thinking of starting a family after 3 years of marriage and I have been thinking about home schooling alot. Thats the route I wanna take for my kids ,as I wanna move out of the busy city to the countryside and countinue being a homemaker. This video and the comments just gave me the confidence that I needee to fully invest in homeschooling.
I've been homeschooled my whole life. My mom used to be a public school teacher before she had me and my siblings, and she knew she didn't want us to be in such a crooked system.
Wished my mom mindset is same like ur mom but it isn't 😔
Here’s the opinion of someone who was homeschooled. I was homeschooled all throughout elementary, middle and highschool. I’ve done 3 semesters at my community college so far. I would say my social life was more active/diverse than most of my public school friends. Is this the case for most homeschoolers? Idk. I’ve met my fair share of awkward homeschoolers, because when you’re homeschooled, you typically do small school groups to cover material that your parents cannot teach. By the time we were graduating, it was difficult to tell the difference between homeschooled kids and public schoolers based on social interactions. There’s definitely a difference, but it’s usually subtle.
Overall I’m glad that I was homeschooled because it let me pursue learning in a way that I enjoyed. This is probably the reason homeschoolers score higher on average. I think there’s is a large difference in how I look at school and the public schoolers I’ve met. While many people complain, I look forward to learning. It confuses me how so many people can go to a school that they pay for and not care at all for what they’re learning
Kids can make friends outside of school. In fact they're more likely make friends first with neighborhood kids. And there's many clubs like Scouting they can get involved with.
Lucky.
yes homeschooling is way better than public trust me ive done both
Andrew Mead same but public schooling appeared to be more beneficial 😂
What public school did you go to? Do you have anxiety? There is no "ones better", it depends on the kid or even the public school.
Pretty funny stuff. I'm a homeschooler and actually there are distance learning options where your child can go through a guided curriculum online. You don't have to know all those subjects. I don't use such programs but plenty of people love them. Also, there's homeschooling groups/co-ops for socialization. They are diverse and work extremely well.
The funny thing is that all of the concerns about homeschool can be fixed by hiring tutors for the subject the parents are weak in and putting the kids in social activities like sports, creative classes, dance, home school social groups for field trips, public playgrounds etc.

I am currently a senior and under 17. I have been homeschooled since PreK. My mom used to design my courses before I went to cyber school and I learned more by my mom's teaching than by cyber school even though I am still learning from cyber school. I get to go at my own pace and do not have to worry about different things. We do have to take standard testing so the state knows we are learning and doing well. My sister struggles with learning and needs a lot of attention and she does very well with homeschooling.
This was sooooo helpful for my debate at school! Thank you!!
my mom is finally considering homeschool. Our public school is a TRAIN-WRECK and I have had multiple panic attacks within the first two weeks, and become more withdrawn and antisocial.
