You have to admit that their social interactions with other kids compared to a student enrolled in a conventional school are limited. Maybe I stereotyped here and if I did, I do apologize for that but I still feel homeschooling does limit your social interactions and interactions in general with different types of people. The people I knew whom were home-schooled were sheltered honestly. I know that’s not every child who is home-schooled’s experience so I apologize for that.

Perhaps it matters where you live. More isolated areas —yeah the kids wouldn’t interact with other kids on a daily basis.

But around here the local community colleges have math and science courses for homeschoolers —there are a lot of things to do. I think the homeschoolers actually have a lot better interaction with the real world. School, IMHO, is a false world with arbitrary rules that put alot of kids at a disadvantage when they have to do anything outside of school. IT can also create artificial social situations that promote/cause bullying that wouldn’t happen outside of school.
