Real Life

One of the arguements that I hear often is that homeschooling doesn’t prepare your kids for “real life” because they are isolated. I always disagree. I think that being around real people, volunteering and apprenticing lead to a good picture of real life. We now have proof that the education system doesn’t care about real life.

There is a person who has been given advanced medical training in the military. But now that she wants her degree, the school won’t recognize the training or the experience. So maybe it is the ivory tower that shields your kids from “real life”?
