[quote=Anonymous]I do not think the kids are receiving an inferior education. At least not for those I've met. But I can assure you that every homeschool parent I know except one is not easy to gey along with, uptight in a way that if they disapprove of something in the least little bit, they are quick to cut you off take their toys and go home.  As a general rule, they raise their kids with the same inflexibility and relative isolation.  Luckily, there are homeschool groups, but having looked into one, I can say it was pretty much the same-- yes kids spent time together, but not really bonding or socializing in the same way as school students. But isn't that what their parents (mostly mothers) are trying to prevent?  It was like the sandbox situation,  where kids play in proximity of each other but not interacting meaningfully.  In that way, mom can say the kid sees other kids and has friends, but they seemed wanting for more kid to kid interaction from what I could tell.  So the kids were not the issue, but the critical and disapproving nature of the parents was.  In fact, the head of the homeschool group was the worst of them all, unwilling to even entertain questions that she took as challenging her choices/decisions.  We are in howard county maryland and hope the other experiences around the area are better than ours was.  Luckily, we wised up quickly.[/quote]
