RE: Why homeschooling is better for your kids
school also is a place where children meets together, find a friends,communicate. What about the social side?

We homeschooled our now adult children. This was the most common default question by far.
I'll answer you question with a question.
Who is more socially adjusted?
A child who is compelled to sit in rows for 6-8 hours per day only with other children of the same age and sometimes gender?
A child who interacts with all ages in many different environments with a wide variety of people? This is easy with homeschooling and next to impossible with institutional school systems.
Actually im not against homeschooling, but i think it for the most part deprives children of being surrounded by a large number of peers
But is it a bad thing to have less of your peers surrounding you rather than a more diverse group of people? Wouldn't this more closely mimic actual society where one will work, interact, and engage with others?
I have never worked, shopped, played or otherwise existed in any scenario that I can rememeber where nearly everyone around me was no more than a year or two my junior or senior. In actual life this hardly ever happens.
