There is a sense of school spirit and pride that you will not get while being home schooled. I have friends with children that are home schooled the sporting events just aren’t' the same. Before anyone says anything yes I believe sports are a very important part of young kids lives. The social skills you learn in school are very important. You have to learn to get along with people rather you agree with them or not. Rich / poor, black / white, you have to make it work. The few home schooled employees that I have had never really fit in with our culture at the office. Maybe I just had a bad sample but they were always a little “different”. Maybe because they never had to learn how to fit in before? Who knows…...
