Re: Public or Home?
Here's my opinion of the pros and cons of each:
Homeschool pros:
You can make the schedule fit with your daily lives.
You're less likely to get stressed and worried about homework and things.
You'll most likely meet less bullies.
Homeschool cons:
Teaching can be hard, if it's your parents doing it, since they can't be doing other things at the time.
More expensive. It could be pulling the parents away from work.
Less social experience, often.
Less team sports.
You may feel left out/different to others.
Public school pros:
More social experience.
You get to meet more people.
Free.
You might feel like you fit in more.
You're more likely to learn a variety of things.
More team sports.
Public school cons:
Chance of bullies.
Might not fit in well with things, since you can't decide when it starts.
Waking up early. >.>
I didn't mention how good the actual education is, since it varies from school to school. As does the stuff I just mentioned.

Re: Public or Home?
I guess I'll also do what I think would be Private school's pros/cons:
Pros:
Generally better education
More resources to work with
You often get good trips and outings
Larger school (usually)
Better teachers, sometimes
Cons:
Expensive, I think it's often worth it though.

I have a large family, my dad is the only one working (getting paid only 50,000 a year). My mom teaches me.

Homeschoolers are probably more socially educated then public schoolers... We go to Co-ops...

WHO U CALLIN SOCIALLY AWKWARD? HUH? Maybe half-life is up for some latin AND algebra... In 6th grade!
Ask me what I'm doing, wait an hour than roll a die, if it's 4-6, I'm playing Skyrim, if it's 1, I'm eating, if it's 2-3 I'm programming.

...and we have 20 people a class usually here, for seven classes a day.
Trust me, social skills are mostly learned in public + high school.
Back in my day.... there were no laws that censored the internet... now, there are.... nah.

Re: Public or Home?
A very simple solution to the supposed "social awkwardness" that some claim to caused by homeschooling, is to go to sports clubs. You know, badminton club, tennis club, football club, etc.

Re: Public or Home?
Everyone's judging. They should not judge because they have never been Homeschooled. I have never been public schooled. Therefore we have no idea what it is like.

Re: Public or Home?
If you have no idea what it's like, then why do you keep insisting that homeschooling is better?
