The longer I’m in the workforce, the more apparent it becomes that 18 years of schooling did much less than it could have to prepare me for the real world.

Talk about a sub-optimal ROI.

So I’m strongly considering home schooling my children.

Have you explored this route? Thoughts?

As a HS dropout, I’ve been exposed to so much more insight about how the world works than my peers were in school

As a parent, I would much prefer to home school my kid, though my co-parent setup doesn’t quite allow for it right now

The socializing arg is nonsense, take them places, sports, etc

So many sports etc are done through school in high school though

Home school kids are typically allowed to go to their zoned HS to participate in sports. Check with the school.

There are more outside of school 

Mtb teams
Climbing team
Club teams
- volleyball
- tennis
- soccer
- baseball/softball
- swim 
- lacrosse
Surf teams
Lifeguard training 
Literally every hobby has more options outside of school

This is a US thing. in Europe it’s the reverse
