Are you asking how homeschooling gives your child an edge? I’ll answer that, sorry if that’s not what you meant, please clarify if so.
Homeschooling bypasses all the indoctrination, if you so choose.
Homeschooling saves time and resources. No commute, no waiting around. Time spent on classroom management in schools is a colossal waste of time and teacher resources. In homeschool, you turn classroom management into character lessons
Homeschooling gives your child 100% customized learning. No struggling to keep up, or boredom when the class has to pace with the slowest students.
Homeschooling saves resources on a macro level. The state spends $18,000+ per year, per student. You would be hard pressed to spend more than $5,000 per year, per family on homeschooling. Unless you add in travel or private coaching in sports or music, which can escalate your budget. I realize this is an apples to oranges comparison, but one day (keep praying for Betsy DeVos and President Trump!🙏) I hope to see full freedom in school choice; ie, your tax dollars are fully returned to you should you bypass public “education”.
Minorities and the poor can't afford to be home schooled. They are either working, don't know the language, don't know the curriculum (you know Common Core), and/or many other reasons. Trump pushing for schools to be opened helps the minorities and the poor the most.
I'm Chinese and I know if I got homeschooled, I would have been as dumb as brick. So no, it's not racist, it's a fact that minorities and the poor needs access to schools and not online classes, which bastardized the schools. Minorities tended to be immigrants who can not speak English or have a limited understanding of it.
So the guy (you) advocating for home schooling called me an idiot for asking for a source for you to prove your claims. If that is how you want to represent homeschooling then you're doing the entire system a disservice.
I’m the source. I’ve homeschooled my children for 8 years, not good enough for you? That was hardly a lazy reply, and your comment shows your projection.
We are too smart here for your games, thanks to the homeschooling!
You're the source. Glad to hear. So tell us, what college did you graduate from, what percentage of your class, what's you're annual income. Seriously, if you want to convince the masses than tell us. If it's good we will listen brother.
And btw, I know several brilliant homeschooled colleagues, but you certainly don't sound like them you're actually one of the few that's made me doubt homeschooling.
How is your two word comment “how so?” clear that you were only asking for sources and not an opinion? And speaking of laziness, maybe you could have made a more detailed request in the first place instead of blaming the person who spent the time to at least try to answer you.
The one thing often overlooked is the cost for 1 parent to remain at home and provide the schooling. Today in America they have made that infeasible for most families.
Yes, that is a significant hurdle. I would love to see a hybrid where kids could join public or private schools for music, theater, sports, labs and such in a group, and homeschool the academics. That would allow mom at least a part time job. Many mothers have blogs or other work from home type jobs to provide extra income, but it is tough, I imagine (I’ve been sahm since marriage)
Homeschooling communities often have day-long workshops or there are lots of activities you can have your kid be a part of. It would still be difficult to structure with a job, but it isn't like you have to be with the kids 24/7. The more people choose to homeschool, which is already going up dramatically, the more these things will be
available.
That's an interesting idea. I mean, also, more work-from-home options for mothers would be feasible as well, after the reality with this COVID shit that so many jobs can easily be work from home.

Kinda racist to just assume that visible minorities don't make money, especially when asian americans make the most

why would they come here if they don't even speak english
Cite your source bro. Didn't ask for an opinion. All these late joining redditors are lazy as fuck and it's getting old.
Idiot. You didn’t ask for a data based answer with sources easier. Your question was, and I quite, “how so?”
Not exactly a clear and specific question.
So the guy (you) advocating for home schooling called me an idiot for asking for a source for you to prove your claims. If that is how you want to represent homeschooling then you're doing the entire system a disservice.
Good representation of homeschool parenting bro.
I don’t give a shit about homeschooling or not.
I’m calling you an idiot because you were rude to someone for a stupid reason.
Idiot.
You shouldn't home school then if you need sources as "proof".
What do you need sources for?
The $18,000+ per year per public school student?
The cost of homeschooling resources? That's variable and it depends a lot on how you decide to implement things.
Personally, if I was going to home school (no kids so don't have to worry about this), I'd purchase a set of McGuffey Readers as a top priority.

Wtf is your problem, dude?
You can't even write a grammatically correct sentence.
It's clear public schools have failed you.

Look at this faggot treating online comments like they're fucking term papers. Comments don't need foot notes. Learn to use Duck Duck Go.
Again with personal attacks and then you come up with calling people "faggot". Apparently homeschool has done wonders for your intellect and class.
