Having worked as a Special Education teacher, tutor, and youth mental health professional, I am intimately aware of the downsides of public school. Honestly, it is one of the reasons I homeschool. I personally have seen to many children in middle school that do not have a firm grasp of arithmetic. I think homeschool has innumerable benefits. It also has its downsides. It feels like I am with my children ALL of the time. Everyone does not want to homeschool, some cannot homeschool, and some should not homeschool. So if both homeschool and public school have their pros and cons, which one is better?
