I didn't watch, but i know about Homeschooling. When its done right, it is a better option than school. The children are often more educated, have a broader range of experiences and interests, and do not have problems with socialization. Many high level colleges and universities seek out home schooled children because they recognize the potential of how well they do.
But the catch is, not all people do it right, or for the right reasons. This is where home schooling gets a bad reputation. Homeschooling is a full time job that requires commitment and work. Its not about throwing some books in front of your kid and saying 'read and learn' while you sit on Facebook. That's just lazy.
Or some people see it as a chance to isolate your child from everything, and those are the ones who suffer from socialization problems. And while there is a positive side of helping to spare your children from too much negative influence, but children need to see the world as it is as well. But homeschooling lets you dictate that more, instead of handing your kids off to a stranger and a bunch of other children with who knows what kind of habits and attitudes.
I know a home schooling mother, and she is in a group for home schoolers. Most of the mothers complain they are TOO busy doing activities, that they have to make more time for school (Hence the evidence, that when done right, children are not lacking socialization). They are usually going to museums, field trips, sports activities, music lessons, etc.. getting out of the house and into the world.

the vid won't play for me, it's issues on my end, don't sweat that...
Homeschooling is like red lipstick:
Under the right circumstance, when done properly, it is a good thing. But how many Wrong shades of red are there?
Ug Lee (Stan & Bruce's cousin) is right, it Can be done correctly, but usually isn't.
I remember watching the homeschoolers in college. Some of them it was the first night of orientation, others took a semester or two, but they typically discovered sex, drugs, and rock & roll all on the same night.

my child is in a homeschool support centre, so its a happy medium for me. there are only 6 kids in her class, but she is the oldest and is the only one doing grade 7. I just received her report and she has gotten in the 70's and 80%'s her highest being 89%. she has blossomed and loves her school. we had complex reasons for taking her out of mainstream and didnt take the decision lightly.

I started homeschooling my daughter a couple of months ago. She's 13 and was in the 7th grade. And I'll start homeschooling my son, 8 yo second grader, next school year.
We have an excellent school system and my kids have done quite well. But I think they can do better homeschooling. And I'm in the position to provide them with that opportunity.
I worried about the socialization aspects, but they can still socialize after school. I'm still looking for other homeschool groups in the area, but nothing has panned out thus far.
It's going to be great going to Disney World and other places off season, no long lines, etc. Not that that was a factor in going homeschool.
