Frank:
The ability of homeschoolers to comfortably interact with people of any age is exactly what initially attracted us to homeschooling.
And to answer the critics on academic front, our oldest just graduated from college magna cum laude with double major and a minor “despite” being homeschooled up through grade 8. One prof asked if she’d been homeschooled, based on her ease of interaction with profs and critical thinking skills. Another prof told her that he wrote her grad school recommendation letter while she was a sophomore.
Another of our offspring recently bought some more Shakespeare at the booksale to do some fun reading. Another spent last summer restoring machine shop tools in a manner that that earned rave reviews from construction professionals. Our second grader reads like a 5th grader.
Are our kids “better than others”? No, but as the helpful saying goes, they are better off
