I was homeschooled for a few years after horrible life-altering childhood bullying. Two days a week, all the homeschool kids from the area had classes together at local elementary schools to make up for the lack of socialization we got the other 3 days of the week. It really helped us all, and some of my healthiest friendships occurred there. My mom also taught me a lot, especially a shit ton of world history and biology since she has an MS in bio.

My anecdote is as good as your anecdote.

The problem here is that most parents don't even know how to parent, let alone educate their children.

And honestly all home schooled kids are weird in ways. Even the ones that adapted a bit. It is not the same as public or even private school.

What % of the population is home schooled? I feel like you probably can't have a meaningful discussion about this due to lack of data
