Which do you prefer?

I hate my home so I went to school every damn day just to get away from it!

homeschooled kids are just weird.

I wouldn't really know as I've only been to public.

I'm homeschooled. So much better than public school. I finally don't feel like I'm going to hell every weekday.

Public school taught me virtually nothing academically, but it did teach me enough about playing and making friends that I'm still playing and making friends even now.

Educationally, though, I'd have been much better served by being locked in a huge library for eight hours a day and spending half the time with recommended reading and the other half just self-directed. Virtually everything I know, I've gone and found out myself anyway.

Public schooling teachs yo how to interact with others in society, home schooling is a better chance to leanr everyting except social interaction.

I went to public school up until the last 2 years of GCSE level education. Then I was home-schooled, which was good. The only downside to it is that I met only a couple of other home-schoolers at a GCSE help group I went to. I have only met about 4 girls outside of school too. Most of my friends are from my previous school years.

I definitely prefer it to school though, where I learned pretty much nothing other than how much I hated the education system here in England.

Personally I prefer public school (not that I have any experience with homeschooling), because I think that a child cannot develop normally without learning social skills with other children. It's good for them to be exposed to children their own age when they're young so they'll function properly in society and wont have angst to socialize.

I don't know how parents have the patience to home school their children. There are enough arguments in my house trying to get my son to do his homework!!

This largely depends on the culture, home situation and the parents in question.

In the UK most homeschooled children are from middle/upper class backgrounds. I have spoken to public school teachers who swear that they can instantly tell which children/teens have been (at least partially) homeschooled as they are usually more emotionally mature and have a more positive attitude towards education than the public school children. However, these kids also find it hard to adjust to being among more 'misbehaved' rebellious peers.

Private. I was home schooled and I feel like it put me at a huge disadvantage that and, it ostracized me from my peers. The educational system for Public schools is very lacking in my country. I feel that the best education that a child could receive is from a Private school. Not only would they be safe from Public School violence and bad influences, but they would be getting socialized and the fear of them being indoctrinated wouldn't be present. The cost would be worth it.

I hated going to school because I was really fat. I lost the weight later on and then gained it back, but I still hated going to school because nobody talked to me and I sucked at every assignment I was given.

Public school is like torture if you're not good looking or good at homework.

Public school is better, you get to interact with others and learn how to behave yourself in society. You learn how to stand up for yourself and how to make friends. Occasionally it gets rough, but that's not so bad.

I somewhat feel sorry for homeschooled children since they don't learn that all. Therefor they turn out to be lonely weird people that can easily be abused.
