A. This is an absurdly broad statement.

B. They often raise children that are socially awkward and being socially awkward is not a good thing for long term success.

Maybe 20 years ago. Have you seen the shite show that is the American public school system today?

no it’s not

There aren’t any socially stunted people that go to school?

There is nothing more weird than a boy claiming to be a girl then having a Teacher support them in their mental illness.

That is what Public School has become.


Where do you guys live? San Francisco?

I live in East Tennessee and we have solid elementary public schools and no one is woke.

It's commonplace, but not a fact. They have to go above and beyond to force social situations to make up for it and most home school parents don't do enough, but some do.

I have family that home school their kids and the first 2 are weird as shite and they "learned" from that and force the youngest into tons of sports and social things and she is way better. They actually are planning to send all of them to real school by 10th grade now because they admit the oldest are socially weird as shite.

The oldest is in 8th grade and she hides under furniture purring like a cat when we go over to their house.

The well adjusted people I knew that were homeschooled were also part of social groups led by homeschooling parents and only homeschooled through elementary. I think the community aspect is extremely important.

My kid has a friend that is home schooled.

During covid, she got a job at Chick-fil-a.
She is now an assistant manager, and works FULL TIME.

Home schooling (Georgia has an online public school) makes this possible. This kid is on pace to be a manager and have a shot at owning a franchise in her 20s.

Not so weird.

We had two home-school families in our neighborhood and our daughter, who went to public schools played with both of them. In both cases, the parents kept the boys in church athletics and other programs for socializations and the kids were normal. One mom was not a particularly good teacher and when she sent her kids to public high school, they were behind. The other one was a good teacher and her kids were quite sharp and extremely well behaved. They were over at our house a lot.

To think all home-school kids are emotionally stunted is ridiculous. There are plenty of ways to ensure socialization without sending your kid to public schools.

I mean this sincerely. Does she have friends and a social life? If so, how? "Colleagues"?

Works every day and studies presumably on nights and weekends.
