Anecdotally, most current or former homeschooled kids I meet seem pretty socially awkward. I wonder if It's because the miss-out on the opportunity to learn how to socialize properly as children. But maybe I'm being too critical, idk.

I was homeschooled and have severe social anxiety and no social skills, whereas two of my siblings having exceptional social/people skills. It's not black and white, and the bad outcomes aren't inevitable, but I myself would never encourage anyone to do homeschooling.

My own parents' motives and abilities were not aligned with good educational outcomes.
