I'm very sorry that you had a bad experience homeschooling, but there's little evidence overall that homeschooling damages children's social skills more than a traditional school environment. Many homeschoolers lead very vibrant, active social lives in inclusive communities.

Again, I'm very sorry you've met some people who were weird and happened to homeschool, but it's unfair to pass judgement on a large group of people, just because you met a few who didn't fit your own standards for normalcy.

I've met hundreds of articulate, friendly, intelligent and confident homeschooling families.

I think the myth that homeschooling leads to lack of socialization is largely untrue and a treat to those families who want to create an education that honors their child's unique academic AND social needs.

I could write a lot more on this and I have, in this blog, if you're curious to learn about the real lives of highly social homeschoolers. https://joinmodulo.substack.com/p/but-what-about-socializati...
