[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where does the “homeschoolers are weird” trope come from? Most of the homeschoolers I have met are intelligent and interesting, and have unique passions. [/quote] Unique passions = often weird Weird is not bad. I would propose that homeschool kids are not more likely to be “weird” on their own (nature). It’s the nurture impact of the fact that they are being raised by adults that for religious or philosophical reasons choose to exclude their kids from mainstream society and segregate them within an insular community. Whether that community is Quiverfull families, leftist homesteaders, Van life full time travelers, Ultra Orthodox Jews, or Utah polygamist doesn’t matter. By cutting children off from outside influences, they will naturally have a limited view of the world and limited experience interacting with people outside their community. [/quote]
