Re:Homeschoolers are bizarre (Score 1)

I was homeschooled from 8th grade all the way through high school. The effects of homeschooling largely depend on your parents. A good deal of homeschoolers are independant learners and their parents realize this. So learning in an isolated environment is benificial. Isolated learning environments are also helpful for kids with ADD. No distractions. Socialization is a problem with some. You automatically don't have school as a common bond with other kids your age and you are outcasted from extra-cirricular activities. Besides, social skills arn't exactly taught in public school. You adapt to other teenagers, and usually only teenagers in a certain clique. I doubt the social skills you learn in high school are that valuable later on in life.
