Are Homeschoolers Prepared to Deal with the ‘Real World’?



In Comparing and contrasting Homeschooling with public schooling, there are some important aspects that home schooling parents need to keep in mind to educated their children for not only in the classroom but out of the classroom situations.

While homeschooling is a safer environment to protect children from bullies, predators, violence, shootings, and ungodly values, public schooling can potentially be an environment that prepares a child for future threats and can potentially teach a child what the ‘real world’ is like. 

However, as I have never smoked a cigarette or drank alcohol, I was taught that those things were bad and did not have to experience it.  A parent can prepare a child by teaching sex education, abstinence from drugs and alcohol, race relations, dealing with bulling, and handling other socially deviant behavior should part of the homeschool curriculum, and can be taught in a Christian, and yet realistically practical way.   

What are some ways to teach these aspects of life in a homeschool setting?
