Homeschooling

[Devanna]

I noticed there are a lot of people on this forum who either homeschool their kids, were homeschooled, or advocate homeschooling.

I was thinking about it and realized I don't think I've ever talked to someone who was homeschooled.

What reasons did you have for choosing it?

My parents chose to homeschool because my Dad grew up in a terrible public school environment and he didn't want my siblings and I to experience the same. He also wanted us to have a more faith-based curriculum.
We used to live next to a homeschooling family where the Dad was an atheist and the Mom was......into Buddhism, I think. They were very mistrustful of government institutions, I think that was the big factor behind their decision.
