definitely! A guy I work with is the strangest person I've ever met. He's always staring and is just weird. Home schooled he is.


That's funny. There were a LOT of weird kids at all the public schools I attended.
There were weird kids before there was any compulsory public schooling, too.

Kids that are homeschooled by weird, socially awkward people will grow up to be weird and socially awkward. Kids homeschooled by different types of people will be different.

It's too bad they didn't teach y'all how to use logic and reason at your schools. At least then you wouldn't form such convictions based on anecdotal evidence that ignores the main influential factor in child-rearing.

I guess this is really my point...the homeschooling stereotype exists because before this recent push...many of the homeschool kids were with families that were super religious (i.e. crazy Southern Baptist/Tongue-speakers).

The reason they were awkward was because their parents were weird...
