[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has your child been homeschooled? I homeschooled my kids for a year pre-COVID when they were in 5th and 7th. It drive my kids bonkers that so many homeschooled kids were like this. We would go to activities such as to a museum where  there was a guide. So many kids wanted to talk over the guide, interrupt the guide, or wanted to comment on what the guide was saying.

Many of the parents never corrected their kids because I got the sense they were proud that they thought their kids were so clever when it was so obvious the guides were getting annoyed and it was taking too long for the guide to say their spiel. [/quote]

Yes! So many homeschooled kids are like this.[/quote]

I think it is because they don't have to wait to get called on to answer, they can engage their parent or tutor one on one for hours on the subjects that interests them. I disliked waiting around for my kids that year that I homeschooled them because inevitably I would be looking at something in the museum or asking the guide a quick question and a homeschooled kid would interrupt and want to talk and talk and talk.

Wild that the person who isn't institutionalized and dehumanized is the one who gets pathologized. Worry about the kids in school who are banned from having normal human relationships, not the thriving homeschooler.[/quote]
