Have you met many people from homeschooling backgrounds?

I live in a community full of them. Social interaction has not been a problem for them. As adults they're some of the most well adjusted I know. As teens some of the happiest I've ever met.

Academically they vary but I'd say it works better than school for most.

I have. My comment wasn’t a criticism of homeschooling. As I said:

> many well adjusted homeschooled kids are those who are exposed to social situations in other ways.

I was criticizing the idea the school is a bad place to learn socialization.
