There are many opinions on this topic and I don't believe there to be a right or wrong answer, rather a perception. Studies show academically students succeed higher at home than in public schools. Personally, I see home school as lacking in a single area that public school provides - social skills. I don't believe you cannot achieve social skills at home, but I do believe public schools to provide social schools alongside the academics without extra effort, where at home you would need to self start and locate social opportunities. There are many pros and cons to both and I believe it to be personal preference and perception as to which is best for your student.

I personally love public school. I went there and my children will go to public school too. I never thought about homeschooling my children because I didn't want to fail them. However, it is strange to think of it that way considering I'm going to school to be a teacher and can't wait to do it. I think that homeschooling is great for some people, but I'd much rather have the structure of a public school not only for my kids but as a teacher as well.

I went to a public school and loved it. I don't have any really personal experiences with homeschooling. I have just noticed that the kids who have switched from homeschooling to a public school are behind on a lot of subjects and don't have key social skills.

I personally went to public school and loved it. My cousins are currently being homeschooled and they are struggling. Their parents don't have a lot of motivation to help them and they don't have a competitive environment. They also are lacking necessary social skills. Personally, I think more students thrive better in public schools and they get necessary life skills as a bonus.

I've only known public school growing up. I loved public school honestly it gave me so many opportunities to do different things and have interaction with so many different people. I feel that in a way homeschooling is less discipline than a public school. Homeschooling is more free range and personalized I believe. Homeschool does have great flexibility rather than a public school where it is more structured.

I think public school is a great way for students to learn and grow with other students. I think these experiences will help children in their future life goals. I also think that being in a structured classroom can also be a problem for some students. Some children may learn best on their own and have social lives in other areas. I think it definitely depends on your lifestyle and learning styles as well. https://www.publicschoolreview.com/blog/what-are-the-benefits-of-public-school-over-homeschooling

Two of my friends are avid about homeschooling. I can see advantages and disadvantages to both types of education. An advantage of homeschooling is that it can be more personalized. There are less distractions and it's easier to focus on and spend more time on concepts that are not making sense. There is more flexibility with schedule. There is also great networking opportunities among parents in this community. If there is a subject where as a parent you feel inadequate, there are groups that meet weekly and help and support each other. I think that it all boils down to personal preference and finding what is best for your child. I think both options can be effective. I am more bias to public school because that is how I was educated and it is also where I want to be an educator, but it is good to have options.

I went to public school and loved the various educational opportunities I got. I met lots of people and made life long friends. I understand that homeschooling gives the parents a chance to oversee their child's education and maybe even incorporate more hands on activities but overall I think it is a case by case basis and the family should do what they believe will lead their child to the most educational success.

This has always been a hot topic debate over the years to which is better.  They both have their pros and cons and I really think it depends on the individual themselves to what is going to benefit them best.  Being homeschooled still gives the student the opportunity to interact and learn social skills with other home schooled students.  Many families will get together and teach lessons so those kids can get social interaction. Public school lets students get a perspective of what continuing their education beyond high school will look like and developing great bonds with other students.  There are many options now days that families can decide what works best for their child.

# data[].attributes.body
There are both pros and cons to either home schooling or public schooling. Home school is able to give the students more one on one time. While pubic school has larger ratio of students to teacher. But public schools are able to give children the experience of interaction and learning with other children their age.

Why Do People Homeschool?

Great Things About Homeschooling
There are many advantages to homeschooling children. These benefits include the following:

Excellent education. The overriding goal of homeschooling is to educate children. In this, homeschool excels. Because of the many advantages offered by homeschooling, there is simply no better way to educate a child. That homeschooling is a great way to educate a child can be shown in several ways. First, consider the items in this list. Many of these benefits are easy to understand and the positive impact they have on children are obvious. Second, homeschooled children perform better on standardized tests. For example, in a recent comparison of SAT scores, homeschooled children averaged 568 on the verbal test and 525 on the math; the national average was 506 on verbal and 514 on math. While those differences might not seem significant for individuals, as differences in averages for populations of students, they are very significant. Third, homeschoolers are becoming sought-after for higher education. Many colleges and universities have begun to modify their admission practices to not only allow for, but to encourage, homeschoolers to apply for admission.

Dedicated teachers with a great teacher-to-student ratio. One factor that is known to be extremely important to educating a child effectively is the teacher-to-student ratio-that is, the number of students for which a teacher is responsible. Other factors include the degree of connection present between teacher and student and the amount of dedication a teacher has to a specific child. Homeschooling excels in both these areas. Who can be more dedicated to helping a child learn successfully than that child's parent? Parents love their children and dedicate their lives to helping their children successfully grow to maturity. So, no one is more dedicated to a child than the parent. And, homeschooling is done largely on a one-on-one basis; there can't be a better teacher-to-student ratio than that. In these two areas, which are both critical to a child's education, homeschooling is simply the best scenario.

Education tailored to a child's capabilities and personality. Because homeschool is focused on children as individuals, a child's education can be tailored to her capabilities and personality. If a child excels in a specific area, his education in that area can be accelerated. If a child struggles in a particular area, additional resources can be brought to bear to help. Also, the way children are taught can be based on how the child best learns because of the child's personality. For example, if a child is a visual learner, more visual elements can be incorporated into that child's instruction. Instead of the cookie-cutter approach to education that is required in an intuitional setting, homeschool provides the opportunity for a child's education to be designed just for that child.

Integrated and consistent education. Because a homeschooled child's education is managed by the same person over a long period of time, that education can be consistent with a long-term plan in which each topic taught and the experience gained benefits seamlessly with those that have come before. Because the parent is intimately involved with the student over that student's life, the parent understands the child's experiences and background and uses that knowledge to design future educational activities.

Better teaching materials. Homeschoolers have access to the best teaching materials available. And, teaching materials can be selected based on a child's individual needs and capabilities.

There are so many different reasons that parents choose to homeschool their children, but there are also many reasons parents choice to send their children off to public schools.
