[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most homeschoolers I know have one commonality in that they are interested in segregating for a variety of reasons. Religion. Elitism. Social reasons. Special Needs. Whatever the reason, it is clear they want to be around less people and have more control over their children's lives. They aren't as interested in mixing with society. Whether that is good or bad is up to the interpreter.[/quote]

I agree with this. It’s less religious nuts and oddballs. Although I understand where that comes from. They are probably the most vocal.

My H and I have advanced degrees. I had considered it in the past but until the pandemic, never went for it. There are multiple reasons I did it, virus, consistency of schooling (don’t want more shutdowns back and forth), one of my children is gifted and special needs and virtual wasn’t working.

I agree for us, I do care for socializing but under these circumstances I can care less. We have the finances for extra tutors or other type of socializing. Schools that are open right now are like prisons. It’s opened my eyes how public schools are failing. My son was doing excellent but he has learned so much more at home. I purchased a legitimate curriculum and supplement with private tutor. [/quote]
