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.

Homeschooling is an oxymoron unless your legal guardian is a trained teacher who commit themselves completely to their trade and teaches the standard curriculum 8 hours a day including PE, shop, and regular excursions Monday through Friday for ten months per year for 12 years.

Also you need a family of about 20 or so siblings who take these home classes with you because that's integral to developing essential interpersonal skills at a critical psychological window during childhood development.

There is no home "schooling", you either go to school or you don't go to school, those are the options.
