Homeschooling has come a long way, there are tons of programs for homeschooled kids to keep them in a group with other homeschool kids. my brother homeschools his kids and they goto the science centers, museums, airports, etc… for “classes” with other kids. And I know kids will learn more actually doing and seeing the stuff instead of reading it in a book. There are experiences that you get in a regular school environment that you wouldn’t get when home schooled…yes you can go to science centers and what not but thats not the same thing as being in a class room with fellow students and having a social life outside of the neighborhood kids that live on the same block as you. Home schooling is a great option these days but I was implying more that i wouldn’t home school my own children because of any ridiculous rule such as the no cell phone policy that some schools still enforce around the Pittsburgh area. But I understand where your coming from when you say your kids better answer no matter what the situation is…same way i feel about it…because a parent like you isn’t going to call while they are in school unless its an emergency or a situation where you should not have to give up talking to your child like the father did thats in Iraq… --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/kid-suspended-for-answer-fathers-phone-call-during-class/196799)._
