[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where does the “homeschoolers are weird” trope come from? [b]Most of the homeschoolers I have met are intelligent and interesting, and have unique passions[/b]. [/quote] Your experience clearly does not reflect the larger societal experience. The only homeschooled people (kids) I knew growing up were religious fundies who were absolutely weird, annoying, lacked social skills, talked down to normal kids and were quite far behind in actual intelligence and learning. They seemed to feel superior to others but really had nothing or any justification to back it up. [/quote] And you are basing yours on decades old information from a tiny subset of kids. Homeschooling is now millions of kids, so your stereotypes are outdated and irrelevant.[/quote]
