Public School is the Way to Go

After recently reading an argument about Homeschooling vs. Public Schooling, it is my firm belief that Public School is the best choice for parents.

While many parents argue that with homeschooling, their child gets more individual attention, I argue that though this could be true in some cases, this does not prepare them for life after high school.

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but unfortunately in today's society, people aren't concerned with helping out their fellow man, or in this case, co-worker. The world we live in is all about the individual. Humans are very self-centered. There is no room or time for individual attention in the workplace. Each person is focused on the goal that he or she is committed to accomplishing.

Another down side, is the social aspect of homeschooling. How much social interaction can you really have with the same three or four people every day? Sure, every day is different. But people react to similar situations in similar ways, which is seemingly repetitive and dull.

To really learn strong and effective people skills, more intermingling with different types of people is necessary because of the numbers of diverse people all around. Some may have different emotions, habits, and religious beliefs than our own. It is very important to learn how to deal with this.

Homeschooling is, at this point in time, definitely not up to par with public. The advantages of public schooling far out way that of homeschooling.
