There are many reasons why parents who want to home school their children should think twice before making a decision. First and most important, children schooled at home are too protected. They are not exposed to the real world, which is not always sweet and nurturing. When faced with difficult situations in the real world, they do not know to react properly. Also, they will be limited in their extracurricular activities. A home school cannot provide the numerous and diverse activities such as band, orchestra, choral activities and many sports without some cooperation from some established institutions. Also worth mentioning is that home schooled children miss many opportunities to interact with peers They are limited to only one teacher and, at best, their siblings. They are isolated from the outside world and have problems learning social interaction skills. Therefore, parents should
give serious consideration before home schoolinq their children.
