> Also no making friends at school or getting to practice social skills is a big negative.
> 3) no seeing drugs lol, I saw like 2 bags of weed my whole time in school
> 4) no shootings, well you have like a 1,200,000 chance of being a shooting victim, I think we all made it without being shot at
1) I take online and in person classes, so I don't always rely on my parents biases, only my dad works.
2) in in-person classes, you are already getting confronted with the real world, but (this is only my opinion) most homeschoolers are really nice, and I made a lot of friends
3)drugs, you don't really get in contact with them as a homeschooler, but I would say that going to a public school does give you a larger chance of maybe getting addicted or something
4) I agree with you on this one
