Since you went on to say 'and I really enjoy it' in your first sentence, it is necessary to clarify that your friends 'are home-schooled as well'. Also, 'home-schooled' should be hyphenated, as it is a compound verb. Finally, the first sentence would be less awkward if it had a comma after 'home-schooled'.

'Stereotypical' is one word. Again, 'home-schoolers' should be hyphenated.

This would have been less awkward if it had been made a part of the sentence before, separated with a semicolon; as it is, the 'more so' is too separated from its reference point. Also, there needs to be a comma after 'fact', and 'public-schooled' should be hyphenated.

This is not a complete sentence. Also, 'classroom' is one word.

You should have used a semicolon here instead of a comma, since the final clause is independent. Also, 'home-schooling' should be hyphenated.

Again, the last clause is independent, so it should be separated from the previous clause by a semicolon rather than a comma. Again, 'home-schoolers' should be hyphenated.

Incomplete sentence.

This would flow better with a comma after 'honestly'.

The parenthetical is missing a period. Again, 'classroom' is a single, compound word.

This seems to imply that you got a standard education in 4 hours as opposed to 12 years. 'Schoolwork' would probably be better.

It's okay to start a sentence with a conjunction every now and then - even though it's grammatically incorrect, everyone does it from time to time - but doing it twice in a row is probably a little much (actually, it was three times in a row, counting the last sentence).

Yes, all those other kids were wasting all that time working on grammar while you had more important things to do, eh? There should be a comma after 'However'. Your usage of the word 'you' is incorrect; it is better to say 'will allow one to be a lot faster, since one doesn't....' And again, 'home-schooling' should be hyphenated.

Like studying grammar? This is an incomplete sentence. Sometimes incomplete sentences are appropriate in a rhetorical sense, but in this case, it's simply awkward. Also, 'busywork' is one word.
There, I have just home-schooled you. I was going to pick apart the rest of your posts, but I discovered in the process that I am lazy. Well, maybe I already knew that, and simply rediscovered it, but I think this should be enough. Okay, one more, just because it was pretty bad:

This sentence suffers from a lack of singular-plural agreement.
Don't get me wrong - plenty of people who went to public schools have grammar issues - but you're not exactly making a good case for home-schooling here.
