I don’t homeschool, but I know families that do.

The greatest misconception I had years ago is the amount of time needed to homeschool. I assumed it was a full day, like public schools. The parents pointed out to me how much time is wasted in a normal class day - not only with pointless, nonsense lessons, but also, simply bringing slower kids up to speed and keeping class discipline.

One of my favorite homeschool movie scenes was in the Lindsay Lohan Meangirls movie Views on Homeschooling. I thought it was funny. "Remington Bolt Action Rifle..."

I wasn't homeschooled, but I was private schooled in a hard-core military/college prep school from grades 1-7. I had 5 years of french, one year of spanish, and one year of latin. I was also helping out my (public)high-school brother with algebra. He's not stupid, he was crippled by public school.

For economic reasons, I continued school in public school and never learned another thing that I didn't teach myself or pay money for. I graduated high school a year early.

Public schools are the greatest waste of money and children that ever existed.
