This is satire, right? I want to believe homeschooled kids are not as bad as they are often pictured
Having seen how some evangelical adults act (and eat) after being homeschooled, you could tell me this whole thread was 100% true and I'd believe it. I'm not saying it is, but combine social awkwardness with the hot garbage food fundie women post on Instagram, it's feasible. Or, on the flipside, some of the more granola homeschool families I've seen would also be believable in this.
It’s a troll post. Nothing more.
Homeschool survivor here. It's that bad.
Homeschooled kids are bad because they fart?
it's a common argument against homeschooling that kids who have no exposure to peers in a school setting end up with poor social skills. unless this post is satire, which I am like 99% sure it must be, this seems to be a case of that
edit: I'm in no way saying it's the strongest or the most important argument against homeschooling
If you act towards everyone else how you act towards your siblings (or parents if you're an only child) and they don't take you to meet up and play often with other homeschooled kids, then yes you're going to be weird.
It's a very accurate stereotype. Have you ever seen an unsocialized dog around other dogs who have been properly socialized? And it takes so many more years to learn human socialization.
