Looking back: My kids' perspective
I posed the following question to each of my kids:
Now that you are done homeschooling what do you think of it?
My son, age 20 said, "I love that I was homeschooled, but if I knew then what I know now, I may have requested private school for high school". He felt that he would have had an easier transition time into college if he was forced to have a more stringent time in high school, both socially and academically. He added however, "at the time, you couldn't have gotten me to go to any formal school though, so I don't know how that would have worked". I will add here that elementary school was traumatic and he still hadn't gotten over it by the time he started 9th grade.
My daughter, age 18 said, "I am glad that I was homeschooled, but it is not for everyone. I believe it was best for me though and what I needed". She added, "I feel like every homeschooler should have some kind of community though, like a high school program (co-op, hybrid program, arts program) that they stick with the entire time so they have pretty much the same friend group year in and year out. Otherwise the only friends I would have had would have been my mother, my mother, my mother, my brother, and my mother." She has a lot of homeschooling friends and feels the ones that are happier were a part of a bigger group. I will add that she is the child that the schools wanted on Ritalin and we instead chose to homeschool her. She had never had ADHD medication, and has been allowed to mature into and cope with her hyperactivity (she was never had the other symptoms) rather than be drugged out of it.
From my point of view, I would have made a few tweaks here and there knowing now what I know then, but at the end of the day, I am proud and glad we homeschooled, and wouldn't trade the relationship with my kids for anything!
