I Was Deprived Because I was Homeschooled

Guest Post by Ashley Schnarr....


Someone recently asked me if I thought I missed out on anything because I was homeschooled. After our conversation it got me to thinking….. “Was I deprived any thing?” “Did I miss out because I was homeschooled?” After much thought I’ve come to this conclusion:

 

Yes. I DEFINITELY missed out because I was homeschooled.

 

I missed out on so many things like:

• One size fits all teaching style
• Grade segregation
• Mandatory training on subjects that go against my beliefs
• Being restricted to the average grade for my age
• Being unsheltered in a peer dominated environment
• Constrained religious freedoms
• Limited flexibility
• Reduced family time
　

Homeschooling provided me with much flexibly, freedom and family interaction. I learned to thrive socially by mingling with people of varied ages and God’s Word was instilled in me virtually unhindered.

 

So you ask me “Do you feel deprived?” Yup, I definitely missed out, but you know what? I don’t regret it one bit. I wouldn’t change it for the world.
