What are your opinions on homeschooling?

My opinion: Both have pros and cons.

I have heard that homeschooled kids are often better academically and more intelligent compared to average students. But they have bad social skills and have a lot of anxiety.

In normal school, you might have better social skills for sure. And you might grow up good if you don't get influenced by the rotten people at school and if you don't get into drugs or stuff due to peer pressure. But that's IF YOU DON'T GET INTO THESE. If you get into these, good luck getting outta these. And there's the concern of getting bullied too......

So I personally think homeschooling might be a better choice.

Responsibility should bear consequences as well, no one should be having the "freedom" to choose to ruin their child's life by turning it into an uneducated detached from society adult. It's not very much unlike a cult deciding that they have the right to keep a child away from society and raise it however they see fit, and I imagine that's illegal in most places if not everywhere.
