There are many reasons why parents who want to home school their children should think twice before making a decision. For one thing, home schooled children miss may 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. Also, they will be limited in their extracurricular activities. A home schoool cannot provide the numerous and diverse activities such as band, orchestra, choral activities
and many sports without some cooperation from some established institutions. Finally and
most importantly, 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 how to react properly. Therefore, parents should give serious consideration before home schooling their children.
