Schools teach to the lowest level student.

the homeschooled kids who end up being the freak anti-social types are the ones who are not encouraged to seek out social settings since they don't get those in school. If homeschooling, the kids need to play sports or do additional activites so that they can interact with other kids. I think a lot of the perception of home schooled kids and their lack of social skills is because many parents do it to shelter their children and that's when it becomes detrimental. If done correctly it can work fine.

You market yourself, or is is a program through the school board?
I'm not really marketing it because I am not doing it for money. It will just be a small group of kids from our area. It has nothing to do with our school board but I know a school board member/family friend I can consult if needed.
I can go online to see what the public schools curriculum is. That way I know what public school kids are learning in each grade level but I am pretty sure the kids I have will be on an advanced track since I can work with them one on one and won't have to waste time on behavior problems.

and not just that forced kind of interaction on a sports team or church trip. They need unsupervised time with other kids to develop real social skills. I met some people in college who were home schooled and they claimed they got the same social interaction as everyone else because they went to church retreats and played lacrosse or whatever but there's always something a little off about them

But I also think one of the main reasons homeschool kids always seem a little...strange is because a lot of the parents who choose homeschooling are uptight and pretentious types and when the kids spend every day at home with the parents, the weirdness rubs off on them. Doesn't apply to everyone, but a good bit

My son who has earned his GED is enrolled in community collage and my twin girls graduate this Friday from homeschooling. They will be getting their GED and go to a cosmetology school. My son will be heading to Baton Rouge to take an AG program. My children are well rooted in society. All three of mine rodeo, we know where are children are.they are fitting in church well, I would say they are normal people They where all taught to shoot glock 23 for class. They each have a glock 23 and the boy has aglock21. I guess it helps when their dad is a gunsmith

Do homeschooled kids not get diplomas?

As to the OP's topic- I know folks have strong feelings in a variety of ways on this subject. Sending one's kid to a bad school must be a terrible feeling and the folks who have to do this usually don't have the Home Schooling option available to use.
Poverty is a bitch.
I'd strategically move to a better school district even if it meant having to live in a cramped apartment and do without amenities to get my kid(s) in a better school. It's not a guarantee but it improves the odds of success.

I would have have literally hated my parents if they chose to homeschool me. If you live in a shiit school district that's your problem. "I don't like the local public school" isn't an excuse IMO.
My parents moved my sister and I out to a school district in Waco that was like 90% white and didn't accept transfers from people who lived outside the district (you couldnt pay to attend). Great teachers, GT program and almost everyone went to college.
Still friends with a lot of the 100 kids I graduated with and a good amount of us still get together when we come home for holidays.
