What are some negative effects of homeschooling?
I am doing a research paper on the negative effects of homeschooling (Didn't pick the topic, not personally for or against it) My Thesis Statement is "Homeschooling is an inadequate form of education" I am trying to find research on some of the more negative aspects of homeschooling, such as social problems, family problems, lack of a balanced education, etc news articles are helpful along wit;h any type of statistics, books, quotes from schools, anythings written by a doctor, or government official etc. Thanks in advance!

What is the best schooling option for my child?
My husband and I have been trying to decide on this issue for quite some time now. We have already decided that public school is not in the best interest of our son. Our reasons being that public school are institutionalized, indoctrinated, limit free thinking, and most importantly the curriculum is sub-par. We have also decided that homeschooling is not what we are looking for either. We want our son to be in a school setting with other talented students as he, at the age of 2, is extremely intelligent and loves to be around other children. Another negative aspect of homeschooling is limitation in fine arts and elective courses that are so important to a well-rounded education. We are also looking into private schools without any religious affiliation but that is easier said than done. We are also considering hiring private European tutors, however the issue of social interaction is still of upmost importance. We are a financially stable upper middle class family, and as I am a dentist and my husband is an attorney we will continue to be so throughout the education of our child. We need a place where our son can exercise free thinking, challenging authority, solving problems, and learn useful skills in productive and healthy living. We would be willing to relocate (even possibly out of country) if we found this perfect school of our dreams, however as time goes on I feel more and more like it is only a dream and doesn?t actually exist somewhere. Are there no solid options for education in the USA? Any input on this topic would be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance. ? Post script: My husband and I both attended average class public schools K-12. We feel that they seriously lack personalization, challenging curriculums, and proper social interaction. It is also a place where they instill values that are not of our own and most importantly children in public schools are very much suppressed in freedoms, rights, and critical thinking ability. We also disagree with their disciplinary standards. Post Post Script: Military schooling is also not an option. Thank you all very much for your responses. Special thanks to Kerry Broadbent. I had never heard of Waldorf Schools and I will most certainly research that in fine detail. Also special thanks for Person A. I feel that you understand my dilemma and I want to say thank you for your input. Public school for preschool is something to I'd like to consider. :D
