Comment on Ask HN: Anyone homeschooling their kids?parent

In a negative way. They weren't bad children, just undersocialized.

The benefits of school go beyond what the teachers teach.

Counterpoint: I was also a camp counselor in my teens and 20s, and I even taught homeschool.

They were definitely easy to pick out, but I think in a good way. They were undersocialized with children, but felt way more at ease around adults. They understood more mature humor, spoke larger ideas in better sentences, and behaved perfectly.

And sure, they were a little "weird." As everyone ought to strive to be.

But that problem can be solved.

It can be solved, yes. But it almost certainly won't be, in aggregate.
