In the PHX area most home schoolers are religious, but our kids were in a liberal group with a lot of ASU professor families. Or similar professional parents for the most part. Most of the kids took community college classes when they were in their early teens. Not all of the kids ended up being academically focused but most were. Another thing to note is that in AZ home school kids can run for the local high school.
I was home schooled and was Valedictorian and voted best looking and most athletic .
I now work for the Amway corporation and am looking to buy my first bitoin in 2020.
You people dont have a clue.
One High school I know in the USA segregates Freshman girls from Senior boys.
Bc the Senior boys target the girls.
Fathers with daughters, use plubkic publick schools at your own risk.

I remember being taught if you had a high security clearance ( SCI/SAP) that fact was classified at, at least, Top Secret too.
As a public school administrator I can tell you that where I’m from, people home school to avoid truancy issues.

HS gives just ok advice
What he fails to speak of because he has no experience is the lesbian teachers, the homosexual teachers, the nihilist Physics teachers that warp a decent kid’s world view.
Sure, my nephew makes $ 125,000 in San Franny but he’s been know to pee or urinate on himself and people belonging. Drinking problem (public school association)
Another girl, another public school gem, turned into a world traveler sl*t, now drug user and you know that goes hand and hand with sexual prostitution.
All because those nihilist teachers taught those once kids to be arrogant and self destructive because why live like a religious person? Right? (/sarcasm)
Use at Your Own Risk
For a real live example look up hateful Dan Savage, gay spokesperson, making religious teen girls cry.
Wait "pee or urinate" are those not the same thing? "Lesbian teachers, and Homosexual teachers" (wouldn't all lesbian Teachers also be Homosexual Teachers?)
I grew up very conservative and religious What is wrong with a homosexual teacher? Are they not a human who has the right to have a job?
I don't think you understand what a "nihilist" is.
Depending on what religion you follow people challenging your thinking and making sure you know why you believe what you believe is fine and if you can't speak to the latter I would question how much of that given religion you have faith in.
You know what. I am an engineer not a youth development expert. My advice being "ok" is taken as a compliment. But I wouldn't draw the conclusion you drew with your anecdotal evidence unless you elaborated more and cleaned up your sentences to not sound like a homophobic person who believes blindly in religion without having an informed faith (knowing why you believe what you believe).
FYI - I know 2 guys at Harvard and true geek/genius at MIT that were all home schooled. They all chose to home school because their public HS's could not offer rigorous classes. The MIT guy transferred after freshmen year in HS, when the HS calculus teacher said they had absolutely no classes or expertise to teach him more advanced mathematics. So he dropped out of regular HS, took math classes at a local university, and "home schooled" the rest of his education. The two Harvard guys had both been home schooled since at least 7th grade for similar reasons.
None of these three were home schooled for religious reasons - they were all home schooled because their public schools were not sufficient, and I guess their families did not want to pay for private school. I'm not exactly sure how they got their HS "degrees" as I never asked, but my guess is that MIT and Harvard didn't really care given their SAT scores and other non-academic accomplishments (one is an amazing violinist that was recruited by Julliard).
Wow
You people amaze me
Ok
You don’t know
Yes, you don’t know
a HS diploma isn’t impressive
Homeschoolers get their GED!
Ever heard of Ed Snowden, the genius.

You sir are lying.
Let me explain something, when a kids is bad he or she chooses to leave school. School Admin secretaries go to the kids house, they call the kid back to school. Why?
$11,000 from the State/Federal Gov't per kid
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Follow the money
I know of a kid that had this happen to him for wearing distracting things on his body or clothing.
And causing relative smaller scale disruptions.
Let's do the Math
Typical 5A or 6A school?
980 to 1125 Students
980 students x 11k = $10,780,000
1125 Students x 11k = $12,375,000
Big Money!
They don't care about your kids.
Private school is better or charter or Military school or other options.
Plus Women teachers are raping teen boys.
Birth Control Pill, STDs and your inexperienced sons, how'd you like that equation?
$$$$$$$
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/06/30/married-teacher-in-maines-affair-with-her-17-year-old-student-only-revealed-after-his-suicide-attempt.htmlI lived for a while in Atl, GA. I had a guitar student there in the late 90's who was home schooled. His parents wouldn't let him learn Hendrix' Hey Joe because of the abominable lyrics. The kid was 13 years old at the time.
I thought then people home schooling their kids wasn't in the best interest of children or of the community.
Here in Alaska I know people who home school their kids for a variety of reasons. Some live where there is other form of schooling. But some parents I know home school their kids because they want to spend more time with their children. I think those are admirable reasons to do so and I think the children, the parents and the communities will only benefit from it.
