Indeed... “normal” is Humanist/Satanic.
LOL I was going to post "they will if you're doing it right"
Q: “But what about... whine... socialization?”
A” “We’re not raising socialists.”
Their ability to think will set them apart from others.
Indeed... it is self focused, and self serving as well... which is Humanist/Satanic.
I watched an interview with a satanist priest one time and he was asked what it takes to serve Satan. He said “basically, you just do what you want”.
Good answer... I’ll use it. ;-)
Only if we are lucky, will our kids be weird to gay loving, abortion loving, enslaved government ‘bots, whose fantasy is to be dominated by the “collective”.
By “socialization” the libs mean brainwashing them into hating European history, culture, and all Christian institutions, especially marriage and free enterprise. It means embracing their opposites. So, yeah, homeschooling is all about avoiding “socialization.” Which is why I support homeschooling.
Now THAT is the very reason why homeschooled are being accepted with open arms at colleges who can appreciate quality.
Hey Sopater,
yeah socialization..we homeschool..we got the socialization covered...
my wife is the instructor and I am the principle and as principle I am responsible for socialization, so...
once a month, even in the summer months ‘cause we don’t want them to forget, I do my socialization routine..
When they least expect it, I grab them from behind and drag them into the bathroom....
I tear up one or two of their notebooks...
push them around...
scream and swear at them...
steal whatever money they have in their pockets...
force them to smoke a cigarette...
show them how sexting works...
and as the grand finale give them a swirlie (hold their head in the toilet bowl and flush).
Now they are socialized exactly as they would be at the local high school.

The next-to-last paragraph seems to say it best about weird being related more to the parents than to the choice of schooling. The only home-schooled child I was ever able to observe closely was definitely his father’s son. This was in the context of a Boy Scout group in the 90s. Dad was an Eagle and highly desired that his son achieve that rank, too. The dad’s social skills did not allow him to easily connect with the other adults in the troop. The son had similar issues in connecting with his peers, especially when placed in a leadership position. His difficulties were amplified by an unresolved issue with a speech impediment (lateral lisp) that likely would have been addressed in a public school setting.
There’s no doubt the kid had great intellectual capacity and was probably succeeding in his academic endeavors but it was not translating to interpersonal or leadership success, at least within the scout troop. I think he eventually came through his awkward phase but then stumbled into becoming a lawyer...;-)

If “weird” is unlike today’s hip kids as presented by MTV, then I’m thrilled with these kids being “weird”.
I didn’t take my kids out of public school because of the education. I figure I’m responsible for their education no matter where they get it. I took my kids out of public school because of the socialization. Life is hard enough without having to deal with pop culture filtered through the minds of teenagers.
My kids all had access to activities, and they’ve all grown up to work, raise their families and add to the value of civilization.
There are always kids in our yard and in our house who come to play with our late arrival 12 year old. He has always been home schooled, but he makes friends with ease. He plays little league baseball, can pitch no hitters, and has a 5 gallon bucket of balls he has won from hitting home runs. I think he will do okay in life.
Hope the wife has already covered the lessons on homophones...since the principle (sic) seems to have been absent that day...
My three homeschooled children can, unlike their peers; interact positively with person of all ages.
Having common sense and solid values will make them stand out, in culture void of both.
So, it depends on your definition of “weird”.
The “socialization” issue is nonsense, especilly if they have brothers and sisters.
Growing up with siblings is more important to quality development than any public school setting.
Having homeschooled all six of our children....your comment is spot on...
