Re: What's Wrong With Attachment Parenting?

[intrigueing]

Wow, creepy. I've known quite a few homeschooled kids and most of them were totally fine -- but they all had a LOT of outside activities with their peers, in fact, more than most non-homeschooled kids usually have, just not school.

I was homeschooled for one year (second grade) because my family had to travel during that year. My dad is an ex-elementary school teacher so he did a pretty damn good job. Also, apart from math and writing, the curriculum for second grade was mostly reading (which I already knew how to do very well) and a huge amount of fun stories about saints and loads of beautiful poems.

However, homeschooling was so not for me. I was bored to death the entire time, like going out of my mind bored, hence, because the thing I always did when bored was read until my eyes fell out, second grade was The Year Of Being So Bored I Snuck Into My Parents' Bedroom To Try To Read Books No Other Second Grader Would Willingly Read. (I'm prettttty certain King Rat and Shogun are not at the second-grade level...but I honestly just that bored.)

I think maybe home-schooling works best if you have at least one sibling close to your age (and your parents aren't crazy).

Re: What's Wrong With Attachment Parenting?

[intrigueing]

That would make sense. My sister was four years younger than me and since we were traveling, I had no opportunity to make friends to play with during that time, so yeah, probably not a great situation.

That makes sense. I'm the 15-year-old homeschooled anon from upthread, and I have siblings who are 2 and 4.5 years younger than I am (so 13 and 10 now) and have also been homeschooled all their lives. I am totally willing to believe that's part of the reason homeschooling worked for us. (And my parents aren't crazy, which probably also contributed.)
