Freaking sweet comment ... I'd totally expect a dumbass comment like that from a dimwit who obviously knows nothiing about homeschooling or homeschoolers. My homeschooled kids were in the top 2% of the nation in their tests scores and are now college honor students.
Smoke on that, dumbass public school bozo.

Homeschoolers are funny. There's no doubt that homeschoolers are intelligent, but that doesn't make them better. In fact, it makes them different, which prevents them from having normal relationships with normal people. The fact that you defend homeschooling so rabidly belies your inability to have educated your children in normal social interaction.

It's hard to deny that most homeschoolers are weird. That weirdness is usually due to spending inordinate amounts of time clutching mother's apron strings and a lack of socialization with non-homeschoolers.

What am I saying? Let's give it up for the weirdos, because without them, we wouldn't have this gem of a comedy concept: the socially awkward homeschooler.

Okay, brainiac, I never said they were "better" - you are making false assumptions and saying I said something I never said.
That pisses me off, first of all.

Why don't you do your research, because it's all there, if you see the facts and statistics about why homeschoolers are MORE adept socially because they come in contact with ALL age groups through extracurricular activities, i.e. sports, music, volunteering, etc.

In addition to being honor students, my sons have always had excellent relationships with all people from their peers to the elderly. They also have great empathy and passion, which most people lack.

We didn't educate our children so they could be part of the academic elite, although they are, as I said, in the top rankings among college students; we educated them at home for the very reasons you believe they aren't 'normal' -

As far as the 'apron-clutching,' again, you show your stupidity about something you nothing about. My sons' father was extremely involved in all stages of their education and my boys are leaders among their peers and stand head and shoulders among most young men their age.

You are using the lame excuse of 'socialization' to make a blanket statement about a steadily growing number of students in this nation. Go ahead. Use your head. Do your research before you blather on about what you think you know about homeschoolers/ homeschooling.

There is a fringe element of the movement, as there are in all, that believe in isolation and non-socialization, but again, the facts bear out that homeschoolers as a whole are bright, enthusiastic leaders; it's too bad that this fringe element plants pre-conceived ideas about this movement, making unknowledgeable people, such as yourself, make broad, sweeping comments that have no basis in truth and in facts.

Look up the Home School Legal Defense website (HSLDA) and read the facts and statistics for yourself. There are many other websites that will support these facts.

It's so easy to label and say negative things when you know nothing of which you speak. Nothing.

Knowledge is power. You should try it sometime. Seriously.
