I'm a homeschool mom. I love being able to be with my kids all day and, because I know what they're learning, I can point out all the real-world examples as we come across them. It's made learning a lot more fun for them and we don't have to spend as much time on traditional academics because I can reinforce it so much outside of the "classroom". While I understand people's reservations about homeschooling, there are co-ops just about everywhere where the kids get to socialize and make friends. I'd highly recommend it for anyone who's able. <3

homeschooling has its benifits, but I still think normal school is better because of the social interactions.

I still get plenty of social interaction via my Church and youth group. And I have friends who I hang out with all the time. Being homeschooled doesn't mean your cut off from the world or anything. I will agree wth you hat you get to talk to a lot more at public school, but some of my friends who are public schooled say not everyone is exactly he nicest person.

I am in the thing that started in the 1970s when John Holt, an educational theorist and supporter of school reform, began arguing that formal schools; focus on rote learning created an oppressive classroom environment designed to make children compliant employees.

I always forget that such things as homeschooling exists and I was baffled how many people can actually get by homeschooling.
In the country which I live in education at home is nonexistent if not illegal. Any degree you can get is from trained professionals with certificates that the government allowed thus they belong to an enterprise, the government or their own enterprises. No such thing as homeschooling is allowed.
I wish I was homeschooled though. It could've been nice instead of the humiliations and disrespect me and my classmates got for over 15 years.

I wanted to be homeschooled but I needed a psychologist's permission for that. They decided that it would be bad for me and gave me lots of help at school that I never needed.
My current school is exhausting, but I wouldn't have anything better on homeschooling

Well there's a third option that should be here - private or charter schools. But I meant that I'm half private schooled and half homeschooled because I do online school. It's a real school but I do it at home.

The school I go to is pretty unique, and I love it because it's pretty much the perfect learning environment for me. However, I sometimes think about what I'm missing from the public school experience. I'm completely missing most social opportunities, in-person activities, friendships, and even hardships. It's almost... too easy. I don't have to worry about bullies, I can always ask teachers for accommodations, etc.

For what it's worth... Don't pine too much for toxicity in your life. You'll encounter plenty, but the less there is, the less it will affect how you see and choose to deal with the world. While there is great value in overcoming obstacles (maybe don't ask for accommodations when you know you don't need them, choose an extra challenging project and keep the deadline, choose a physical challenge you know you can't complete as you are right now, etc.), there is so much toxic behavior allowed in school these days that I would never consider public school for my children at this point.

"Whats the ratio of homeschooled to irl?"

Depending on whose numbers you believe…

low I found was ~3.5%    census.gov & NPR
high was around 10%   https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/parenting-translator/202109/the-research-homeschooling

Lots of the numbers are based on different metrics [​K-12 vs K-6 vs 1-6] and time frames (Covid lockdowns etc caused a surge arguably to 100% in some districts — depending on how one reads the question.)

Then there's the Kodachrome isssue…
