no, they need social interaction

@sissyboyinheels: all need social interaction there are a lot of kids in public school that do not get the interaction because they are withdrawn do to bullying, lack of confidence/shy etc.

i know every state is different, but some states require documented social time, either working with the public, social events, etc.

@kayleyem: oh I know I am a graduate of the Los Angeles public school district and back then all we needed was to show up

@sissyboyinheels: well, i dont know what it was like "back then" or in LA but every where is different and times are different, home school has even changed a lot during the last 8 or 9 years since i've been in it.

i dont believe anyone can say is home schooling better than public school or vice versa as a generic rule. to many variables and no school district is the same. plus each student is different. i do better at home schooling than my older brother, because every student is different. and whom ever is doing the home school is different than the others.
