NO. Homeschooled kids are kids like all others. Some are social, some are shy, some are rebels, some are nerds, most are good kids, a few need to have consequences for their behavior so they can learn to be good kids.
Notice that if I took the word "homeschooled" out of that paragraph and put in "Publicly Schooled", the paragraph would still be true. That is because there isn't much difference between homeschooled kids and Public School kids except for the method, and usually the quality, of their education.

That rely's. Why are we freak's? Is it through fact we are clever? Is it through fact we've not got load's of pal's and function subject concerns with fool's at public college? actual, if it extremely is considered freaky, then i could very plenty like to be a house schooled freak. Which i'm, easily. :) and that i'm proud to be a freak! even with the shown fact that, all freakyness aside, people who stereotype homeschooler's have the incorrect concept approximately them. we are actually not, in reality, non secular or holy curler's. i'm not secluded from society, yet i'm not a social butterfly the two (that's basically me i'm a shy quiet individual). And, not all living house schooler's are going to be pint-sized professor's. in reality, some could desire to not additionally be attentive to who replaced into the 1st president. loss of motivation, it extremely is. All homeschooler's are distinctive.

Home schooling is simply an alternative to conventional schooling, and one of many educational choices available to anyone.
The word "alternative" is the key, anything not "main stream "is considered to be "different".
You may want to look, and listen closely because people are always grouping themselves in one category or another, young people and adults alike.
People name themselves, nerds, emo, punk, jocks, geeks, freaks, zealots, or whatever else. Why? Who knows! Maybe they have to much idle time on their hands.
The media, and teen pop cultures love to play into these fads as well.
Just because people are called one thing or another does not make it so.
It is simply annoying, and ignorant on the part of those who feel the need to call themselves, or others these names.
It is often used to play a silly game of one-up-man-ship, or to put people down.
This is an age old dilemma, and every generation has to deal with it in some way shape or form.

That's true. There are successes and failures in brick school, only FAR more failures than successes!
The opposite is true in homeschool. The successes out number the failures.
That average homeschooler is college ready by 16 or 17.

I home schooled all 5 of my children & I think that they turned out quite well.
My oldest is an attorney in California, doing very well.
Next son & his wife are serving our country in the military.
Oldest daughter works for Harley-Davidson, part of the design team for motorcycles.
My two youngest, won a scholarships to a military school & on their placement exam scored high enough for both to be admitted to their senior year. So this year they are giving boarding school a try.
No, I think they have turned out quite well, but then, I was their teacher.

Some homeschooled kids are a little freaky; but the same goes for some public schooled kids, too. It certainly doesn't apply to all of either group.
You're right, it is unfair. Nobody ever said that those who were prejudiced were fair.

My kids were destined to be freaks; I am their mother, after all. I figure that by homeschooling I will spare them twelve years of pain and humiliation until they can get to college, where freaks are valued.

I work at the public school. I home school my son. I know many public school students and many home school students. All teens are weird. (smile)
I don't see any more weirdness in the home school world than I see in the public school world. The public school students are sheltered more from real life because everything is controlled in their choices. Home school students seem to be more in control of their education because they can make their own choices in studies based on their individual goals.
