Private and Home Schooling Isn't Necessarily Better than Public Schooling (rant)

9. Homeschooling is a real advantage for people in your situation. Public and

parochial school exposure helps teach kids communication and social skills with a diverse pool of personalities. How to compromise, when not to, about sharing and working together even if you don't agree on a project or idea. It's about comradery, loyalty and special friendships. (Yes, dancing, necking, drinking, drive-in's,smoking) and all that sinful secular stuff too.
I did it all. A great learning experience. NO sex though, my Mom said if I had a little one, that I would be taking care of him/her, that was enough to make me abstain.lol

There is just so much more that a kid, teenager learns in a public setting, a better, or I should say more rounded pathway into adulthood. I can't imagine what my young years would have been like without all my school friends. The academic curriculum however, was very rigid and I did not do well, I think in a Montessori school would have served me better in that area.
