HOME SCHOOL OR PUBLIC SCHOOL?

It has been a hot topic over the last few years, which is best? Public schools, or home schooling? As student teachers, we think both have positive and negative results. Although we have to go with public schools. Children need to develop social skills. This is very hard when you are home schooling your child. We have seen a few kids who were home schooled in grade 1 to grade 7. They then join a public school and just don't seem to adapt. They have few friends, if any. They do not know how to behave or react normal in class. They tend to be loners and seek for approval. They don't necessarily do bad in school work but they have a lack of social skills, which form a crucial part of children. The other problem with home schooling is, is a parent really qualified to teach grade 10 to 12 mathematics, biology and science?
