Great for parents who want their children to become maladjusted loners. Or nonces, of course.
Good luck!
p.s. it's WHO for fucks sake, what did you expect?!

I know quite a few kids that are or were home schooled.
Pretty much all of them have a similar ability and grades to your average school educated kid, but nearly all of them lack social skills when compared to school kids or schoo, educated and some are down right bonkers.
Up to you, but that's my genuine observance.

There’s no reason that they can’t do well academically as long as you and your missis have half a brain. My worry would be the social side, sporting and artistic opportunities. That being said, the levels of indoctrination in our school system are worrying. I’d say it depends on where you live and what schools are available.

Having dealt with my children's teachers and seen how terrifyingly thick the majority of teachers were, I would have home schooled them if I hadn't had to work.

Just sit him on this site for 12 hours a day.
All questions about life he has will be quickly and truthfully answered by posters with an immense wealth of real-world experience (and a few super-models).

You dont even have to follow the curriculum and the authorities only check once yearly. I think they take the artistic part away and replace it with confusing problems and then give them homework.
I'm sure any problems will be solve with the academic folk of who.

My experience is you really have to do both, with the stuff covered at home providing the base and the school doing the “real world” learning stuff. Anlso plenty of voluntary work as soon as they show any inclination goes a long way.

He will grow up disconnected from society, socially inept and with a complete lack of any well balanced, rounded view of society.
Other than that it’s a great idea - crack on.

Personally I thought the most important part of school for my kids was learning to socialise, making friends and not being odd.
Very important not to be 'odd' when you're young. I know one kid whose parents took him around the world on a boat for a couple of years when he was about 7 or 8. Now back in the UK he goes to a normal school with other kids and loves it apparently.

Stacey Solomon opened up a whole debate about this, one of her sons complained to her, that the school disapproved of him being the class clown and this altered his personality, so she decided to home school the poor little snowflake.
No worries now though as she is shacked up with Joe Swash, him
who asked Martina Navratalova if Prague is near to the Czech Republic?
Seems to me the whole experience will be quite an education.

I’m thinking of that effeminate kid who was on Mastermind years ago with blonde curly hair who was bullied and eventually transitioned into a woman.
He looked like a gay minature David Gower.
That is the most likely outcome for home schooled kids
