My sister and I were home schooled by our mother.  Were you home schooled?

Part of the time! My parents conducted home education for a little while! How'd you like it?

I thought it was fine, but feel like I missed out on the social experience of going to a regular school.

Yeah! Education inside the home an be tough! Did you join any homeschool clubs?

No, I was not in any clubs.  That would have made the experience better for sure though.  What percentage of kids are home schooled?
1_Wizard
According to the US National Center of Education Statistics, about 3 percent are! Still, millions though!

Wow!  I wouldn't have thought it was that high.  Is it harder to get into college if you are home schooled?
1_Wizard
I don't think so, for the U.S. anyways. It's a legal alternative to public and private schools so College is still the next step!

Interesting.  I wonder if there is a bias against home schooled kids though since many colleges want kids that are well rounded.

Right! Well in other nations homeschooling is still illegal as recorded by an organization.
