Is homeschooling as good as regular school?
My wife and I are thinking about homeschooling our kids. We're worried about the quality of our local public school. But people say homeschooled kids have no social skills. Is that true? What curriculum do people use? Do colleges accept homeschooled students? Is it legal in all states? We both work so how do we make time?

I think the real issue here is that society is changing faster than most people can keep up with. What was normal 20 years ago might be considered outdated now, and what we think is normal today will probably seem old-fashioned in 20 years.
I think kindness goes a long way here. Whatever the 'right' answer is, you can usually find it by treating people the way you'd want to be treated. That old rule still works better than any complicated theory.
Great question. I've thought about this a lot and honestly I think both sides have valid points. The key is finding a balance that works for your life rather than following what everyone else does.
I used to have a strong opinion on this and then I lived in another part of the country for a few years and completely changed my mind. Travel does that. What seems obvious where you grew up isn't obvious everywhere.
