Have you ever met a home schooled kid that wasn't weird?

    My best friend was home schooled and he is one of the most social people I know. He played soccer on my high school team. I have met some very socially awkward kids who have been home schooled but I also know several that are very outgoing and normal.

    I completely lost it on this one! :lol::lol::lol:

    I don't know many home schooled kids, but the few I met seemed a bit awkward.

    I know quite a few kids that are home schooled the majority lack social skills, but the others that participate in sports and focus groups with other homeschooled kids are actually pretty well off socially, But I would not label any of them weird.

    I'm with Vito... only not quite as PC. I'd say the parents are more weird than the kids. LOL Plus, none of them ever seem to beable to smile, have fun or just let go a little. Maakes you kind of wonder how they ever got to the point of making babies.

    What are the odds that both Zimmerman and OJ were homeschooled AND collected swords?

    Hilarious! I guess in many ways it is! Allows for a lot more time in the tree.

    I work with a kid that was home schooled. He just turned 21 last month. He already is married, has a son and just purchased his first house. Super polite and a very hard worker.
