Homeschooling is a way of teaching where children don’t go to school properly but take classes at their homes. Many parents think homeschooling is a beneficial choice for their children but it has many negative effects which they are not aware of. One of  the serious negative effects of  homeschooling is that children can miss out on the opportunity to interact with other children. This can stunt their development socially as they do not learn how to communicate or behave in group settings. Home schooled children wont have many opportunities to meet and interact with other children if we compare that child with a child who goes to a regular school. It will be hard for them to form friendships so it will cause some social damages for home schooled children. It takes away their chance to learn in the proper environment which may be more productive for them. Homeschooled children will always lack social skills which is obviously a vital skill in living and working as an adult.Secondly, as parents do not ask for child’s opinion there is always a chance that homeschooled child will look back with regret at missing out on school experiences such as their graduation from high school. Even without the school setting, the fact that they do not go to school with the other kids in the neighborhood will single them out, making it even harder to make friends, which leads us to the first negative effect. As for the last, parents have more control of their childs education in homeschooling. This will decrease both his creativity and his independence.  He will blocked by his parent's intelligence level. He can never achieve an unexpected success and when they face with a problem it is more likely for them to retreat to the willing arms of parents instead of adapting to new situations and strong feeling states by self-monitoring and self-soothing.To sum up briefly, homeschooling has some negative effects for children such as not socializing enough, lack of friends and memories, low self-esteem. These are the disadvantages of home schooling.
