gm parents, what are your thoughts on homeschooling? 

Anybody doing it or planning on doing it>

I’m against it. Kids need different point of view from parents. Different studying methods, different places and different struggles. We should not raise our kid as photocopies of ourselves. Life is tough, even at a school. We should teach them to cope with life, not schooling them.

Find different schools if you can or integrate if you think they lack something. We should not commit the error of “protecting” them from something we think is wrong. Otherwise we are only moving the trauma when they grow up and it will be worse because they are not used to struggle

I agree with everything you said, I just don't think the current school system is the best way to do any of that

Agreed. Even unexceptional schools can provide essential experiences, good and bad. Especially with the right patental framing.

Social & emotional awareness is hard to hone without the right kind of stress. Stuff better left to the blooming, buzzing world of public school.
