You live in your home, but go to someone's house.  The difference is in your degree of intimacy with the place.

Homeschool for sure.\n\n1)My kids get to socialize with all races, ages, religions and gender on a daily basis.  They don't spend 8 hours a day with ONLY people their own age.  \n\n2) They can go to the bathroom whenever they want, and they don't have to ask permission from a teacher who may or may not give it. (I had a teacher in second grade who wouldn't let me go to the bathroom because it was "rest time" and I peed all over myself.  I was known as pee-pee girl for the rest of my elementary years.  Funny, I had forgotten all about that until I read this question) What does all that have to do with schooling? Well, when I had finished my public school years, and entered the working world, I wasn't sure if I needed permission to go to the bathroom....\n\n3) A homeschooled child gets more social time than public schooled ones.  In public school, you get 5 minutes between classes, and if you're lucky, 20 minutes of recess.  Homeschooled children get most of any given day.\n\n4) You get more than 15 minutes to eat your meals when you are homeschooled, and you don't have to spend the rest of the day with indigestion.\n\n5) You don't have mountains of homework when you are homeschooled.  You learn everything set aside for you in a few hours, then your school day is done.\n\n6) You don't spend half of your day waiting when you are homeschooled.  You aren't waiting on 26 other kids to sit down and shut up so you can start learning.\n\n7)  You learn more when homeschooling.  You can take any given subject as far as you want, you don't have to stop when government mandated outlines say you do.\n\n8) You don't have to worry about "fitting in" when you are homeschooled.  If you don't have Tommy or Gap clothes, so what.  Whereas in public school, you get snubbed if your clothes come from Target.\n\n9) When you are homeschooled, you KNOW  your teacher cares about you.  \n\n10) The only real negative to homeschooling is having to listen to, and be snubbed by, public school advocates who don't have a clue what goes on in a home education environment.

We have year around school where I live and I actually liked it a lot better then school the other way. Your spring, winter and fall breaks are two weeks instead of one, you only go to school until the first week of June and you go back either the first or second week in August, you get longer breaks, and I think it's much better, but everyone else has their own opinion.

In my opinion college is much better than high school.  I found high school restricting and ridiculous all around.  In list form I'll give my reasons why college is much better than high school: You can choose your classes (more options than high school) and what time you want to take them.  If you don't feel like going to class, you can make that decision to stay home knowing that you may pay for it later. You feel more like an adult.  You're living on your own (or at least in my case).  You meet new people, and probably people who are in your area of interest.  College is the pathway between being a child and an adult.  You're still young, but you most likely don't pay your taxes and it's ok to have pizza for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  College is the best thing that has happened to me.  :)

It's a matter of personal preference. If you want to go away for the experience or to a particular college away from home then you should go for it. On the other hand if it really doesn't matter, some colleges closer to home can be less expensive. Either way you're starting a new journey and hopefully you'll get the most out of it.

i think they both have worth to society. i have done both, and i will say from personal experience i felt more "accepted" from society when i was working. i liked being at home better though because i could spend all that time with my child. i think a lot of people think being a stay at home mom is like lounging on the couch all day...well those people obviously don't have kids!!! when you're at a job working you get to go home at the end of the day, and when you're at home you "work" literally 24/7 and don't even get paid(except in smiles and kisses:) \n\ni think people need to realize that being a mother is work. so why should it matter if you leave the house to do it!!! work is work!

It's summer and school is out now so why not give it a trial run with your dad. Go spend the summer with him, check out the school where you would go if you moved and give yourself a real chance to see what all the changes would be like. If when you get closer to the end of summer you feel like you'd like to give it a little more time and actually attend the school there then give it the first semester to get an even better feel for those who would be your classmates and friends if you moved. It's always hard when we have to make choices but what's important is that we do so with all the knowledge we can get in order to make the best possible choice. In your case I think this is more about what's going to ultimately be best for you and enhance your life. Your parents are both loving and understanding and obviously want these things for you too.\n\nBest of Luck!!

~~Technically if you home school your children you could bounce between the two places any time you wanted to, however it is very hard on children to be uprooted often like that.  Staying in one place will give your children more of a secure feeling.  The other thing you need to consider when living in two places, can you afford upkeep on two places?  Good luck to you and your family making this decission.~~

I'm homeschooled and I've always loved it. My two older sisters graduated from homeschool. I had bragging rights and my public schooling friends were jealous because I went back to school a month after them and I'm graduating this June...I have tons of friends coming to my graduation and while at first I thought it would feel weird to graduate alone I realize now that it'll be all eyes on me!!

Here's a thought:\n\nCollege is about education. Education includes exposure to places and people that are unlike your hometown and your family.  Try gently explaining this to your parents.\n\nIf you're not expecting any financial support from them, you don't need permission to go, but try to address their anxieties with a calm, reasoning attitude, and perhaps they'll lighten up a bit.\n\nThey're obviously afraid for you to go somewhere far from home.  They'll miss you.  It's a big world out there, and they're uneasy about you "flying the nest." Perhaps they don't understand that leaving home is part of your education and growing independence too.\n\nJust be gentle, and give them time.  They'll come around eventually. Later, when you start to provide them with evidence of how well you're doing (good grades, new ideas, a genuine passion for a particular area of study), I bet they'll even be proud.

Its a tremendous responsibility, but well worth it.  You learn how to get yourself up in the mornings, pay your bills each month, meet lots of new people, etc.  You don't want to live with your parents forever, and going to college is a great place to "test your wings."  You can always transfer to a smaller college closer to home if you find you took on too much too soon.\n\nGood luck!

Parent's don't feel as though their kids are getting the quality of education that they need.  In many areas the schooling is just pathetic.  Some people can't afford to move to the areas with better schooling.  \n\nIn addition, I think more people are home schooling their kids who have special needs or problems such as severe food allergies. \n\nIt's the easiest way to know your kids are being influenced by those things in which you want them to and not the negative influence of certain kids or poor teaching.  \n\nIn my opinion home schooling is good, but I think you could miss out on a lot.  If you home school you need to be sure to expose your children to more social situations and activities to maintain their ability to communicate with others.
