Another major issue with home schooling is the lack of social interaction. Homeschooling, in some circumstances, blocks out all social connections with friends and events. There are many reasons why I, along with many others, disagree with a home-based education, but this is certainly the biggest issue. “One of the downsides of the homeschooling program is the fact that it lacks the social component, which teaches the child to interact with other people.” (Enzine Articles-Low Jeremy). Homeschooled kids lack the social graces learned in the grassroots of childhood interaction.“Sometimes family togetherness can be a little overwhelming. Breaking up time together…goes a long way toward avoiding burnout” (Suite10.com-Jaienne Jenrich). Parent s and children need their space to grow together, homeschooling invades the privacy that allows a family to grow closer. The issue of homeschooling is very damaging to a child's emotional quota.
