I have a kid next door who is so called homeschooling and the kid is nuts

the reason he does not go to school is because he could never make friends and hit teachers.

for the easy time the father would keep him at home while he went to work and this kid is of his head and no way would I want this kid anywhere near me in 3 or 4 years if he can get a gun and would not be surprised if I hear about him in the future.

You think I am joking or over the top then not one child around here likes him, he has no friends, he has no concept on how to meet people and thinks he can do what ever he wants.

The biggest trouble causer around here is he, in fact one day I caught him looking though one of the bedroom windows.

The best thing for this kid is to get help instead of father leaving him at home to never meet anyone

BTW THE kid is 13 , thinks he is 30 but acts like a 5 year old with his tantrums.

So?...Why is it always the assumption that confining an emotionally ill child in an institutional school setting would be somehow better for him than homeschooling?

I suggest that he would be worse off. Institutional schools have many of the aspects of prison culture. The kids “imprisoned” in that environment detect emotional insecurity like sharks smell blood in the water.

Also....By having an emotionally ill child in an institutional school, what about the kids who are emotionally well-centered and eager to learn? Are they better off by having a kid who might pull another “Columbine” ( as you suggested he might) or worse off? The parents of the dead Columbine kids would have more than happy if the two Columbine killers had be kept at home.

If the two Columbine killers had been homeschooled maybe they would have just be friendless weirdos rather than assassins. The former is far better than the latter.
