There is no and has never been any true evidence that home schooled kids are worse at socialization then the ones that go to a traditional school, at least as far as I can tell. It's a meme that people propagate because it is "common sense," but none of the studies I've looked at supports it.


I was homeschooled and the anecdotal evidence is overwhelming.

Try finding adults who were homeschooled who speak fondly of the experience.


I have known several. I've also known an overwhelming number of people from public and private schools who hated those experiences.
