Common Objections to Homeschooling – The Natural Child Project. John Holt is considered by many to be the father of modern-day homeschooling. He was a recognized teacher for many years but came to realize our public education system leaves much to be desired.
Socialization
Enough of the Socialization Debate. “I’m not saying kids don’t learn valuable lessons in [public] school, I am merely pointing out that there are limitations in social learning due to class sizes and priorities that don’t apply to life outside an educational institution.
