I used to not necessarily be anti-homeschooling but shared these thoughts that they'd all end up social weirdoes. A handful of years ago a friend who was pro-homeschool, more of a un-schooler type, convinced me otherwise. If I really think about it, I was way more comfortable outside of school and school just beat me down socially.

Every homeschooler I've ever met has been in a different league. I've got a 7 year old girl in the family that is like the best kid I've ever met under 10 by far. She can have conversations with adults in complete sentences, picks out and orders her own food at restaurants, reads books that like would be typical for 7th graders. My 14 year old cousin is a little turd at times, but that's because we're close and he's a teenager. He doesn't really excel socially but he can manage, he's insanely independent and I'd totally trust him in a tough situation over a lot of people I know twice his age. A few early 20s that have good jobs and take care of themselves, that's rare it seems. I can't think of one that's worse off than the average raging leftist.
