There are two versions of "homeschooling". Distant learning and just the normal homeschooling. Distant learning is when you actually do sign up for a real school, but you basically learn by mail. They send you your assinments, and you would do it at home. Usually, you would need a tutor to do this, whether it's a relative or an unknown hired tutor. The regular homeschooling, I heard, is very hard – harder than both public school and private school. Sure, you have more freedom, and less time learning, but it's very hard to keep concentrate, and about 30% of home-schooled children aren't very "smart" this day. But, that's not for all. It depends on your concentration, because you're balancing both your home errands, and your school errands at the same time. If you get a trusted teacher to home-school you, then you're good to go. My mother's sister's friend didn't trust public schools or private schools to educate her son, so she did it herself, and with her strict discipline and teachings, her son turned out very well – I've met him – SMARTICLE! ^.^

Public schools, err.. *shivers*. The beginning levels of public school; like Elementary, and midway middle school will be extremely easy. Most public schools do not have much expectations in their children, they're job is to just "teach what the book teaches", so there really is no point for teachers in public school. Kids who have been in public school are more "wild" and savage like than homeschooled and private school children. I've seen many middle school children on the bus, it was horrific. But, I have to admit, not all public school kids are like this. It depends on the quality of the specific school chosen. Public schools take things easily, and work in a "go-with-the-flow" plan. They let their children settle in their way, whether it takes them 1 year, or 5 years. I go to private school, in seventh grade now, but in sixth grade, I learned 8th grade stuff, so yeah. So if you want easy, flowing work, public school is for you.

Now, we get to private schools. Private schools are usually VERY hard and very strict, but again, it all "depends". They skip ahead, and usually are in front of the public schools, either by a lot, or by a little. I have to say, my private school is pretty selfish, so I'm guessing some other private schools are the same. They charge HANDFULS and handfuls of money from you and your family. They tell you to "work" for them, by like cleaning the school on the weekends, and your parents have to attend special %#3*@2^% stuff. It's so LAME. They make you PAY if you don't do it. But, the good thing is, you get good education >.< Which, lulz, is the most important, right?

SO YEA, compare and contrast. I have to do that in Social Studies EVERY FRICKEN' day.
