A very accomplished teacher in the family tells me that the biggest problem he’s seen in homeschooled kids over the years is that they don’t deal well with deadlines.

Presumably because Mom will always let you slide on a deadline. Aside from that he’s been very impressed.

Our kids understand deadlines - put away your clothes before suppertime or no dessert!

I concur on the deadlines. The other is that none of them know how to stand in lines like good little sheep.

I am a homeschool dad of 4, Scoutmaster to a whole slew of homeschooled kids, coach on a robotics team that is home, private and public schooled.

I can’t say I have every met anyone I thought was ‘good with deadlines.’ Particularly authors and engineers.
