[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every home schooled kid I've met is weird. [/quote]

It is funny how not true this is in my experience. I live in Northern VA. I am a teacher and know a lot of kids. Of the families I know who homeschool a few are religious, a few are super crunchy, a few have kids with special needs (including being profoundly gifted). All the parents I know have college or higher degrees. There are kids, like my oldest, who started homeschooling in part because school wasn't working for them due to learning differences and so on. Maybe you'd call my kid weird but he's a lot happier, more social, and easy going than he was when he was in school, which was just a bad fit. Homeschooling has definitely made him less weird. The bulk of the kids I know stand out for being sweeter and a little moire innocent than the norm but they are all social, engaged kids. Honestly much more so than most kids I know who go to school and can hardly have a conversation. There may be homeschoolers in rural areas who do it to isolate their kids and teach them strange things but that just isn't the norm around here.[/quote]
