- maegul 3y agoI know what you’re talking about, but I don’t think the confounding factor of who and why home schooling parents choose to home school can be easily dismissed. The simple fact that social activity needs to be fostered in a different, but not necessarily worse way, alone means a minority approach is going to cause problems, not to mention that fringe parents are likely to pass their fringe qualities on, especially when doubling down with their child’s education.

- smeej 3y agoInteresting, because I think I can too, but for a positive reason. They stand out to me as the ones more immune to groupthink, and when I encounter them in public, there's something about their style or level of interest and engagement that separates them from the government-trained masses.
