Anecdotally, most current or former homeschooled kids I meet seem pretty socially awkward. I wonder if It's because the miss-out on the opportunity to learn how to socialize properly as children. But maybe I'm being too critical, idk.

The absolute back-breaker of the US educational system. They keep kids out of school to indoctrinate them by completly incompetent people instead of giving them a proper, universal education and the ability to come in regular contact with kids of their age outside the normal circles.

That does not mean that the US school system is the ultimate solution, on the contrary. But it would be much more important to fix that than to allow any yokel to brainwash their kids at home into a next generation undereducated and narrowminded person.

    a lot of schools are full of yokels. my primary and secondary education were full of yokels. 1/3 of the teacher staff were townies and a lot of them were idiots and drunks.

    i never met a smart person until i went to college.
