^^^This.
This thread was by far the most entertaining I've ever read. I do hope she/he/it/op wasn't serious.
But come on guys, you're getting a little tough on the Home-learn-ed!
I was homes schooled K-12. And I'm more 'normal' than most kids at the college I attend haha. It's all about the parents. You either have the, "I dont want my babies being exposed to the horrible world." or the "I don't want to pay for your ass to be put in a private school, and you're sure as hell not going to that school where everyone is getting shot at." The latter being my parents.
I homeschool my kids for the same reason. I want my kids to have a quality education and our public schools just aren't providing that. I'm sure there are people who homeschool because they want to thump their bible but our reasons are strictly academic. A nice bonus is that my kids grow up "in the real world" they certainly don't have to spend 25+ years training for the chance to apply to it in the future.
And it sure doesnt hurt to grow up around mature (in most cases) adults instead of the immature peers we surround ourselves with on too many occasions. Of course, you do need peers. And if the parents did it (homes schooling) right, you find other outlets. (ie. church, boy scouts, girl scouts, and sports)
