Kids who are taught through a home school education are not exposed to the extra-curricular and curricular opportunities that kids with a more traditional education are. As stated in the first paragraph, homeschoolers are legally allowed to participate in public and private school activities (sports, plays, etc.). But normally they don’t because of their discomfort with the other kids or even the system. A member of the National Education Association says “Parents have enough trouble teaching their children values like responsibility. They shouldn’t have to teach them the core subjects and extra-curricular subjects too!” Some people, like Dave Arnold an NEA member just thinks the parents are not as motivated to teach their children things like math and social studies, and would rather teach them life lessons, like most parents do. But one Parent in Sacramento, California believes the worst part of homeschooling is that the kids don’t have the choice to explore opportunities that schooling provides. That is a way to discover hobbies and develop relationships with kids who share the same interests. But all in all the home schooling curriculum is concentrated to heavily around serious subjects and gives the students no creativity.
