Speaking only from my own experience with kids who have been home schooled coming into our high school (either directly from primary school grades or partly into their high school years), I have yet to see one for whom that has worked out well (socially, emotionally or intellectually).
I suspect there might be a bit of selection bias going on with your lack of negative experiences.
- russellsprouts 13y agoThere's also a Toupee Fallacy effect going on -- you never see a good looking toupee - because a good looking toupee is indistinguishable from real hair. The same way, you will never notice normal homeschooling kids - because you will not know they were homeschooled. They will know the stigmas around homeschooling, and probably won't bring it up.
- zarify 13y agoEheh, I hadn't heard the term Toupee Fallacy before. But in my situation at least I'm told which schools (or lack thereof) our kids have come from.
