Were you homeschooled?

What was it like? How well did you do later in life?
Did you know anyone who was homeschooled?
I look at tweets like this and I wonder if it will be the future.

Edit: so many people who never made a typo. Reddit would be proud.

It’s too early for this

Yes. It was great. I’m 50 so early adopter.
Our boys are starting kindergarten and first grade (yes I’m too old for that). They go to Veritas school in Greenville. It’s all day Tuesdays and Thursdays and rest structured homeschool. We like this hybrid. They go to three days of “regular” for middle school.
Sports, clubs, good specialty teachers, etc etc
Our rising first grader can read pretty much anything. And is writing way above grade level.
I do think we will take a year to travel and 100% homeschool.

So - now your kids will only be halfway socially adjusted rather than not socially adjusted at all.
Well done, papa.

I asked ChatGPT to teach me more about itself and after talking with it about AI, it created a syllabus for me and a daily schedule in which it would teach me a 3 to 10 min a day lesson about itself.
So at any time want, I can ask it to teach me the next phase of its ChatGPT lesson. I have always learned better teaching myself, especially math or anything I have to figure out. Let's say I never took calculus. Today, I could probably learn it faster than it would take in one semester.
I think the social skills are important, but other than that, any responsible parent could use Chat to teach them and be able to do so more effective than them going to school.

Right, I’ll make sure to teach them to make idiotic comments anonymously on a sports message board, then they can hope to join you at the pinnacle of educated intellect.
Era: but in all seriousness, the high schoolers at the school are incredible. Definitely not the stereotypical (fairly or not) weird homeschoolers. They are very involved with the younger students and are always respectful, as far as I’ve seen.

Tell me you went to a public school without actually saying it...

I was homeschooled. So were two of my siblings. I started public school in 9th grade. Academically, public school was not as challenging. My two homeschool siblings were both valedictorian of their class. One is now finishing her PhD in maths after working in tech for several years, the other is a CPA and makes a lot of money. I was never the best student but tried hard, and somehow became an engineer.

No.
Thank goodness.

You didn't capitalize the "i."

I think the best way to do it is homeschool till 8th graduation. Then you will have your kid I. Honors classes from freshman to sr year of highschool and they can learn to cope and deal with the rest of growing up.
I have some friends who did this route and it working out great they are doing very very well and we’re 100% normal by sr year of hs, if not real party animals in college which is good. I was super proud when he got in his first fight in highschool.
But to answer an unasked question I would love to homeschool my kids till 8th grade. I’m def not smart or disciplined enough for that, way too much ADD, but my wife would be a great teacher for our kids

Some of you are stuck in a 1980’s mentality towards homeschool it you sound incredibly dumb and uninformed when you say stuff like this. We have homeschooled all 4 of our kids and two of them are now in college and are thriving. In a room full of people their age they are the most confident kids in the room. They are able to talk to adults as well. Are there still strange homeschoolers. Of course. Are there a lot of strange public school kids, absolutely. It all comes down to parents. Strange parents will have strange kids. But when normal people homeschool their kids their kids will likely be the most competent and well adjusted kids around. We take great care in making sure our kids interact with other people. Because we have more influence over them our kids are kind of a hybrid of GenXers and their generation in all the right ways. Homeschooling has been a sacrifice, especially financially but I’d do it again and wouldnt even hesitate.
