Homeschooling or Otherwise?
~ Miss Relina ~:
well I liked that topic
In my opinion , it is a matter of time changing , so long time ago 'for example your parents time ' the education through schools was much better , that's due to the fact that technology didn't meet the needs of the students at all sothey have to rely totally on the schools theoritically and practically. However , as the time proceeds , the intellctual technology develops causing more students to dispence with schools because they save time wasted at schools . This fact maybe noticed in teachers who mostly neglect the students at school forcing them to rely on the private tuitions so that they get paid by another way that's shameless but it's a fact which end up a student not having enough time to study. Moreover , technology has provided the twenty-first century student with online books , youtube eductional videos , online tutors ,and forums like this one ;D
which make the student able to depend on himself/herself.
On the other hand , schools have a considerable role in the social part of the student life . This can be expressed in providing the student with experience needed to sail through the long life journey , make him/her able to take decisions in the everyday life , make friends ,..etc . As a result , the student will have confidence to interact with the community especially that most homeschooloing students who don't have any activites feel depressed and suffer from low self-esteem .
that's all for me ;)

I've found that people who have been homeschooled work a lot better when they join highschool than others that have been educated in school their whole life. This is because those who are homeschooled have already adapted to the distractions at home, and are used to studying in that environment.
A bad thing about homeschooling is that there is very little competition in academia at a daily basis, which is why I suggest you move to highschool at that age. Ultimately, it's the best of both worlds.

According to what I know, homeschooling and self-teaching are two different things. Homeschooling involves a tuition teacher for each subject coming over to your home and teaching you the syllabus. Self-teaching involves a student teaching ownself the syllabus and taking the board exams through an external centre.
I have done self-teaching througout the past three years and I choosed to do so because most my teachers were very unreliable.
I believe it is worth it provided that you are responsible and motivated enough to work on your own.
During my IGCSEs at school, my teachers never bothered to teach the difficult chapters, more than half of our day used to be free and a few students spent whole day at school sleeping. When i started self-teaching at home, I used to wake up early, teach myself alot everyday, stayed active by doing the house chores and even had social contacts by taking work experience. Now even if my exams get over, I am so determined to start studying again after I finish my last exam.

Home schooling is good until a certain age. You learn a lot more.
I was home schooled until grade 6.
Now boarding school is a much different conversation
