It is said that Home-Schooled Kids are not able to relate well to other kids, Do your kids have Home_ Schooled friends, What do you find is true of their interactions and your inte3ractions with Home- Schooled young people?
I heard a radio broadcast where the comment was made that Home- Schooled children might eventually profit our nation as elected officials and community leaders. The advantages I've seen from working with Home Schoolers over Ten years in a Home- School Co-Operative are the following-
1, The students are more clear- thinking, inquisitive and probing
2. They tend to be oriented to being problem solvers.
3. They tend not to want easy answers- they seek solutions that are more likely to be comprehensive and enduring.
4. They challenge their instructors to be demanding of them.
5. They are grateful and appreciative of their instructors and the instructions that they are provided!
6. They really are invested in quality results and outcomes.
7. They are greedy for knowledge and understanding-m They really learn to grok what they are being taught.
In my humble opinion, These are all qualities that would be RARE and hard to find in the average Public School Student. While private school students Might have more of these characteristics, They would still be harder to find in private school students than they would be in a typical PRIVATE School Student!
The seven qualities that I've listed above cause me to believe that these students will develop into quality leaders that will seek workable answers and who will not settle for whatever " lowest common -denominator answers" that they can convince a slim majority of the population to buy into!
