Look at post 55 and tell me how any of that typical government school BS has anything to do with the "real world."
In the real world, people work with and become friends with other people of all different ages, rather than being segregated into age-specific groups.
In the real world, assault is punished, not ignored.
One great thing about homeschooling is that you don't have to give a tinker's damn about how someone else thinks you're raising your kids, including their levels of interaction with the "real world."
I am intrigued as to why you wouldn't homeschool your kids. Not my business, I know, but I'll share some general information with you, which I hope will be helpful.
People homeschool for a variety of reasons. Some out of religious or political conviction, some because of personal, health, or family reasons, and others (like us) find the public school system inadequate for the needs of their child. Heck, it could be a combination of all those reasons.
We don't all fit into a single box. There are many different teaching methods and materials that are available to homeschooling parents. Some folks use the "third grade in a box" concept where all the materials are available from the same vendor, neatly packaged and ready to use. Some of these even come with DVD/video options where a "video instructor" does the teaching. Some folks use a "pick and choose" method wherein they might select a particular math curriculum and a different method of teaching history.
A certain segment of the homeschool community chooses "Unschooling." This is a child-led method, much more relaxed than traditional methods. If the child is interested in reading history books today, then that's what they do. Maybe do some math tomorrow. This is a bit of a simplification; I'm don't know any Unschooling families, so I'm not too familiar with this particular concept.
For the record, although we homeschool, I am very supportive of parents who choose to send their kids to public school, and I wish only the best for them (as I hope they do for me).
Parenting is hard. Lots of calculations have to process for any decision, including how to educate your kids. Homeschooling is a very rewarding path, but if anyone tells you every day is a wonderful experience, they are telling you a Clinton-sized LIE.
