[quote=Anonymous]I think that it’s a stereotype that exists and persists because there used to be VERY few people who rejected traditional educational institutions in favor of homeschooling. Those people tended to have extreme views that led them to that conclusion. I used to go to Econ summer camps in high school and met a handful of homeschooled kids each time. They were weird (and I was weird enough to go to Econ summer camp, so, grain of salt). Spouse has many family members who were home schooled for religious reasons. They were always defending their choice to me. I couldn’t care less that they wanted to homeschool. Now, there’s more people making that choice for much less extreme reasons. I know several, their children are great. But until the numbers reach some kind of measurable mass, you can expect that people will hold tight to the existing stereotype.[/quote]
