I mean, everything I've heard says that they never leave the house. They're always stuck inside.. Isn't it hard to make friends with people if you're only with your family?
Does your mom give you a good grade even if you fail?
Couldn't you just look up the answers instead of doing any work?
Don't you get sick of spending so much time with family?
Look at some of my other questions.. It's easier to understand by reading.
Answer
Most certainly everything you have "heard" is true? I doubt it. In fact, I know it is not.
I am a mother of four children, none of whom have ever been to school. Yet they have been involved in Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts, t-ball and baseball, basketball, gymnastics, theatre, horseback riding, one is about to start swimming and another is about to start gymnastics. These just being the organized activities that are NOT related to homeschooling- they are also involved in our homeschool group which has classes and activities. My oldest has had several jobs even though most children her age has not yet had one. There is also church, family, neighbors, getting together with family and friends to go bowling, to the movies, to the beach or park or waterpark or Chuck E Cheese or the mall, etc. Certainly not sheltered. They are not stuck inside, and we actually have to turn down opportunities for socialization so we can fit in academics.
So to answer your question "Isn't it hard to make friends with people if you're only with your family?" That would be difficult if that were the case, but it is not.
"Does your mom give you a good grade even if you fail?" I am sure this has happened on occasion, but most parents who make the commitment to homeschool want the best for their children and are not going to cheat because that is not what is best for them. While you are trying to make homeschooling look bad, you might want to look at the examples of public school authorities falsifying grades so that they look better.
"Couldn't you just look up the answers instead of doing any work?". That would be possible, but again most parents want the best for their children and are not goign to allow them to cheat. On the other hand, is rote memorization of useless material really education? Is it not good to know how to find the answers- because we will never know them all? In that situation, looking up the answers is a GOOD thing.
"Don't you get sick of spending so much time with family?" I love my family and spending time with them. Too much together time can be a problem at times, but that is why we have breaks- space to separate when we need a break, different activities for each of the children, each child spends time with each parent alone, etc. And again, homeschoolers are not stuck in the house all of the time.
