Are Homeschooled Kids at a Disadvantage?
Heroic
I applaud any parent that has the courage to home school. I cannot imagine having the time and ability to undertake such a task. I imagine home schooled children learn a great deal more due to the individual attention. However, they may miss out on the 'school of hard knocks' lessons we all endured growing up. I don't know that I'm better off now because of those lessons. Given a choice, I certainly would have skipped a lot of them.
