Are Homeschoolers Antisocial?

2 / 2

No, homeschoolers are not inherently antisocial. There is a common misconception that homeschooling leads to social isolation and a lack of social skills. However, this stereotype is not true in most cases.

Homeschooling families often engage in a variety of activities that provide opportunities for socialization, such as co-ops, homeschooling groups, sports teams, and extracurricular activities. Homeschooled children may also have opportunities to interact with a wider range of age groups and have more diverse social experiences than traditionally-schooled children.

It is also worth noting that socialization is not the same as socializing. Socialization refers to the process of acquiring the norms, values, and behaviors of a particular society or culture, while socializing refers to the act of spending time with others and interacting with them. Homeschooled children may have different socialization experiences than traditionally-schooled children, but this does not necessarily mean that they are less social or have poorer social skills.

Overall, whether or not a homeschooler is antisocial depends on many factors, including the individual child’s personality, the approach to homeschooling, and the family’s lifestyle and activities.

Every Day is Different

Written By: Wislaine

Every day isn’t created the same when homeschooling. Some days you will find yourself overwhelmed from the days before. You may have created a schedule your always readjusting, adding and removing lessons based on your children needs. It doesn’t mean your not teaching. Your just going with the flow. You know what works best for your family.

In my house I have a scientist, mathematician, dancer, artist, chef, athlete, stunt man and more. They are my children. They love to learn. The way they learn is different and I can adjust and readjust based on their needs. They have no limit. My daughter doesn’t have to wait to be in the six grade to show interest in six grade work. If she is interested in a new subject or harder work I can accommodate her without asking for permission. I don’t unschool my children but some days my children makes special requests.

Children are sponges and this is why everyday isn’t made equal in my household. They do learn everyday. Bible study is mandatory everyday in my home. Some days we may add an extra 30- 60 minutes to a subject that intrigues them. My son has ADHD and his learning style is completely different from my daughters. He gets more frequent breaks to burn energy. He usually love reading at night time. Sometimes he will beg me to keep learning and I keep teaching. Some days he want computer work. Everyday is different and the they do learn all required and needed subjects.

Sometimes I may school them 6 times a week. On holidays I may have my children complete math, reading and watch educational videos or documentaries. For instance, on President Day they watched videos about the presidents and my daughter read a book about the presidents.
