Homeschool myth #6 - Your children will miss out on the prom, school dances, "dating", sports, etc.

I went to public school, and I thought prom was overrated.
I went to public school and didn't do any of those things, despite my mother trying to marry me off into a well-to-do when I was sixteen.
Anyway, schools are nothing more than highly glorified day-care centers. My daughter was in a Christian school for kindergarten and first grade, public school for two weeks in second grade, homeschooled through third grade, public school for one semester of fourth grade, homeschooled through fifth grade, Christian school for a semester in sixth grade (while I taught a Spanish class), and homeschooled through twelfth grade (she finished last December).

This one cracks me up
Homeschool myth #7-Your children will not learn how to line up and walk in a single file line.

They seem to be doing a pretty good job.

It's only fun if you have a date (or friends).

If I had to send my oldest daughter to public school (God forbid), it would cost far, far more than it costs to homeschool her. But I suppose some people hold to that myth because both parents work outside the home.
Parents should consider the real cost of not homeschooling their kids. Even if it costs more, they should consider making the sacrifices necessary to teach their children themselves.
Homeschooling has allowed us to have more time with our children; time that otherwise would have been spent essentially with strangers...
Strangers with candy.
Not to mention how darn cute they are! My mother-in-law actually uses this one for the reason you should send your kids to preschool - so when they get to kindergarten they'll already know how to line up! :doh:
Cool! Amazingly, I didn't think of all the things we get to do that we wouldn't if our kids were in school all day! Four years ago we took a 5 week cross country vacation in October!
