Parents are finding out that there are good things about homeschooling their kids - and there are also a lot of drawbacks.

New research from Harvard looked at the good and bad about keeping your children out of public schools.

The researchers say homeschooling will make a child less likely to give in to peer pressure to drink, try drugs, or get into a lot of bad relationships as adults. They're also more likely to volunteer to help others.

But, homeschooled kids are more likely to not get a college degree. 77 percent of homeschoolers don't even bother getting any more education past high school.
