> This "homeschooling results in poor social skills" trope is absurd and needs to stop. There are a number of other problems with homeschooling, among a number of upsides as well. But barring Branch-Davidian type social isolation, social skills are just not an issue. I never understood that to be honest. Most of the people homeschooling their children that I know also participate in homeschooling groups where there is a lot of social interaction, as well as church/religious events etc. It maybe rather ideologically siloed, which can be a bit shocking when the child starts emerging from the silo, but that is different thing than having “poor social skills”.
