Is it normal i think home schooling is inferior

Firstly, you're wrong about "A big part of school is to learn to interact in both good and not so good situations and figure out how to deal with all types of people." that in relevance to homeschooled kids not getting that.
Homeschooled kids MUST find a way to socialize, honestly public school foces it buut if a kid aint in school what are they gonna do all day? nothing? They're gonna find some other kids to talk to - even if its like nieghbours after school, and theyre gonna go through the same things. If anything they could end up better off, since theres no school to support them they have to learn how to work/get into education quickly and almost alone, no support to help them with things like resumes or even suggestions of work experience apart from what the parents give (most schools have careers advisors which woudl do this) so if theyre not social they wont succeed.
In a school, you get qualifications. This is free for like highschool. A homeshcooled child CAN take the same exams and get exactly the same qualifications as a school child, but itll cost the parents money. Also, many parents who chose to homeschool bring in tutors for the stuff they can't teach, so the child doesn't get a bad education. (In the UK at least universities and colleges will still accept homeschooled students and people without qualifications from exams too providing they can prove theyre still a good worker.)
Behind on their studies? That really depends on whos doing it. Not all homeschooled students are dumb, i for one know homeshcooled kids who're way smarter than me, because they were schooled well and had a lot more freedome to puruse knowledge over things they enjoy.

You may notice, a lot of what i say is situational, and it is. IMO, for SOME people, homeschooling is way more effective, depending on the person and family. For others, its not the best. If the kid isn't sociable nor willing to work, and if the parents dont know a hting about teaching, homeschooling just won't work. But if the situation is right, they will go further than a student in a shcool.

If you want an education in the US, you aren't going to get it in the public 'babysitting' system. That's all the American educational system is any more; just day care for working parents.
What education there is, the 'No child left behind' system, teaches to the stupidest kid in the class, which completely removes the challenge of learning, for all but the least intelligent.
There are some excellent home schooling courses, like Calvert, that have been the standard for families in the diplomatic corps and others who travel a lot, for a hundred years.
From what I read on here (and other places), the hell that is high school is an experience that those who are a little bit different need many years to recover from, if they ever can. Why you would think yourself better off in that system is beyond my understanding, unless you think you would have been a cheerleader or first string jock (one of the ;cool kids').

You think that way because they are. Public school, or even private school i better than home school.

I totally agree. Public school can really suck sometimes, but it's a more accurate reflection of real life. Schools allow kids to make friends as well as learn how people can be assholes.

Most parents fuck their kids up enough as it is without homeschooling. The only thing worse than homeschooling in most cases is homeschooling without television access. I disagree with the idea of people raising their kids in any old kinda way, children are a responsibility, but they aren't property.

I agree with the statement that home schooling is inferior. Children should go to school, where they can understand and learn the principles and the philosophy of real life. Our children go to school not just for acquiring of specific knowledge, but to get life experience. School aims at making self-sufficient, creative and open-minded individuals capable for planning their future and taking major decisions. Education is not about lessons and poems in the textbooks, education is about lessons of life. And school is exactly that place, where our children study how to live life.

Public schools are a damn joke. The teachers are afraid of the students. They don't get fired if all the kids get F's. I had a friend pass the 9'th grade that had never learned to read or write.

Home schooling will result in a child brainwashed with all of his or her parent's neuroses about religion, and will be scientifically illiterate, proudly stating with certitude such pitiful and imbecilic contentions as "evolution is just a theory", without realizing that scientific nomenclature renders that statement as stupid as "evolution is just a conclusion based on observable and falsifiable evidence."

In my work as an international lawyer, I encounter home-schooling as a major human rights issue, almost as serious as getting common bovine flesh Burkin Bags from Hermes instead of reptilian, like my husband George.

I think you're right, kids should be interacting with other kids because it's so important to understand how to socialize and properly communicate. School gives them that opportunity

I was home schooled for a bit due to a illness my junior year. I had a teacher that came to my house it wasn't my parents. I learned more in those three months then I ever thought about learning at my high school.. With anything there is pros and cons to both.

As someone who works in the public school system, I say that your statement is inherently flawed. If there is good instructional material, good teaching staff and good parental support, then chances are good that the student will succeed regardless of their environment.

Where public schools fail is poor funding. Pure and simple. I don't care if you think every teacher should be as proficient as Socrates, providing instruction to 40 kids of diverse backgrounds is not an easy matter, especially is 25 of those 40 kids come from homes run by parents who either A) Are too busy working to have raised their kids to give a damn, B) Don't give a damn themselves, C) Don't have enough of an education to take it seriously or know hoe important it is or D) All of the above.
