I have been unschooled for five years, and spent five years in public school before that.
When I look at my homeschooled friends, and then at my schooled friends, it seems like my school friends are sort of stupid in comparison. They often have more facts stocked in their heads, but they have no motivation, they can't really think critically and they're really peer-dependent compared to us homeschoolers.
And it seems like we're happier. I mean, we're human and we're teenagers so there's a degree of backstabbing, rumors, and so on but we just seem to be much better adjusted and less childish.
My school friends always need to move in packs and seem to be really obsessed with possessions and buying stuff.
They're still my friends and I like them, but I think homeschooling turns out better people in the end.
