Mayhem" data-source="post: 2024173" data-attributes="member: 13525">I've been homeschooled basically all my life (I went to a co-op for a few years, and I'm taking my senior year at a community college). My mom's a well-qualified teacher, though; as a matter of fact, she works part-time teaching biology and chemistry. Home-schooling certainly crippled my social skills for much of my life; however, thinking about my peers in public school I'm not sure that I'd like myself if I'd gone to one. I've always got along better with people older than me or adults than with my peers, but that's changed somewhat since the co-op. Basically, a lot of homeschooling families got together in a church building, and taught classes to everyone's kids. It helped my social skills with my peers a lot. One thing that might or might not be a problem with you, is that the majority of homeschooling resources and groups available are Christian-oriented. You might want to check out the Home School Legal Defense Association, and possibly subscribe to their magazine.</blockquote>
