No.
I can understand why people think that, but it's MUCH better than the official school system for several reasons.
1 - You can learn at your own pace, whether it's slower than normal classes or faster. It's unbelievable how idiotic the school districts here think we are, so homeschooling allows us to actually
learn new things.
2 - No bullying
whatsoever. The main reason I dropped out of Grade 8 was because pretty much everybody in my class hated me. Of course, this isn't an issue while homeschooling.
3 - Unlike public schools, which grade you based on how pretty your project is, homeschooling is different in the fact that you're graded based on your comprehension of the subject, which is much more fair.
4 - Since the classes are usually only one or two people, you'll be able to ask about anything you don't understand and get a response relatively soon. Public schools fail in that regard because teachers can't help everyone at once.
5 - It's nowhere near as harsh with deadlines and things like that. I remember at my old school if I was even a day late, I would automatically lose a mark for it, which is, to put it mildly, ridiculous.
6 - Provided you work hard enough, then you'll have more free time on your hands, which can be used for pretty much anything.
7 - What you're doing for a certain subject can be pretty much anything as long as it's relevant. Public schools are somewhat like that, but not enough so that you can work at your own pace without getting bored.
