There are some awesome suburbs out there. This thread will be full of regurgitated generalizations.
All the people i know who bash suburbs for being boring don't do anything exciting themselves, they just go to bars. But it makes them feel cool about themselves.

and introverted people. There's nothing to do and there are no real opportunities to grow in the suburbs and you can't fully develope if you aren't exposed to a lot.
the most sheltered people Ive ever encountered grew up in the country. Yea baw, get up early, work on the farm, eat dinner and go to bed. Never socialize outside of family.
City kids are always fricking weird. You want to talk about nothing to do, talk to a landlocked city kid.
suburbs are most structured and there were tons of things to do growing up. It was safe, we had our own little world. Built in friend system if you're not a total loser.

I think it depends on the age of the kids, younger kids would be fine in the country, or maybe suburbs if there were other kids their age to play with.
Once they become Jr high school age I think the city, or as someone else put it, a nice "uptown" area of a city would be best, so they get a good introduction to culture and a diversification of things to do beyond just playing outside. I think teens that grow up in the countryside or burbs turn to things like drugs and alcohol because there is nothing else to do.

No outside social interaction at all? You don't see a problem with that?
Hopefully, you don't call your grandkids by all three names.
I will create her own school consisting of 5-10 kids that are around her age (cousins and friends). We plan on doing lots of social activities and go on field trips with others who homeschool. Lots of great museums, zoos, and other educational trips to take.
She has lots of outside social interaction. That wont be an issue at all. We are not homeschooling for religious reasons or to shelter her. We are doing this to give her the best education possible.

the suburbs

Agreed mate
Suburban kids have the best of both worlds. Safe environments to play outside and a lot to do/see/experience nearby. The farm kids I know were mostly socially retarded from not having friends when they were little and city kids are snorting Xanax at 15.

I grew up in the country, lived in a big city, lived in a suburb, now I live in a midsize city and prefer that to all over the above.
But it helps that I have a 6k acre farm to do country stuff when I feel like it an hour away.

I was raised on 30 acres surrounded by 35,000 acres of National Forest. We raised, grew or hunted almost all of our food. It was pretty awesome as a kid. I had so many forts in thise woods. Our nearest neighbor was a mile away.
Downside is that I went to a shifty school and tons of meth
I'm raising my daughter in the city. If I could raise her in the country I would though. Both have positives and negatives.
Never the burbs though. frick the burbs.

Yes but is your son considered the "crown prince" of those 6k acres like gingerkittie's grandkid of their 100 acre woods?

My experience is the complete opposite.
I grew up in the country and we all had friends and we didn't have to do that much work. I only knew one kid who was actually a farmer.

I had plenty of friends growing up in the country. We just couldn't exactly walk to each other houses.
But that is what 4 wheelers were for. ..

Whenever I have offspring, they will be homeschooled on the farm until 13 or 14, at which point they will promptly be sent to Brandon Hall or Indian Springs.

To me suburbs are just the worst of country and city life combined

It depends on the suburb. It depends on the city. It depends on where the rural is located.
