The biggest problem I can think of with Home tuition, is not the lack of
association with other children, but the lack of freedom a child has in his
or her own home. When would the child unleash his or her anger? When will
they have the chance to learn the importance of rebellion? And how can we
stop a child's parents from imprinting dogmatic views? Children are an
important part of progress, and some of the thing's parents find wrong are
the very things that aid that progress.
Also, couldn't constant contact with adult's lead to an inferiority complex?
Isn't there something to be said for sharing discovery with others, rather
than the "yes, yes I know" attitude of adults?
