I know many home schooled children. I see no evidence of poor social development. In fact I see more emotional scars left by bad interactions at public schools

I know many home schooled children. I see no evidence of poor social development. In fact I see more emotional scars left by bad interactions at public schools than I do from homeschooling.
- richardwhiuk 3y agoCareful about your experience representing a biased sample. For children who had poor social development likely resulted in less likelihood of knowing you at all.
- xupybd 3y agoI agree. My sample is biased and not a scientific study. I'm involved in a religious group that has a higher rate of homeschooling. But the adults, who were homeschooled, that I've met are some of the most well adjusted, charming and confident people around. Yet I've met some who were bullied in school and have to seek help because of it. That is not to say that you can't do home school wrong and screw up your kids. You totally can.
