In my experience growing up the homeschooled kids were usually from very religious families who did not want their kids being social with the general population, so you have a point there. I wonder how a "regular" family that happens to homeschool their kid would differ.

- sotojuan 8y agoI guess my point is that in my anecdotal experience, parents homeschooled kids to "protect" them from regular society. Ergo, they were very sheltered and only able to socialize within the church. If it works for them, great, not hating - but I doubt that's what people in this thread mean when they talk about homeschooled kids having a normal, social life.
