Haha - when someone asks me about socialization of my homeschooled kid, I say, "Oh I know, I'm SOOOO glad he isn't socialized with those hoodlums at the local high school"

If you've never talked to a home schooled kid, you need to. The socialization comment will disappear. Most homeschooled kids I know can talk to anyone about any subject - and do it with respect and genuine interest.

I have a kid next door who is so called homeschooling and the kid is nuts

the reason he does not go to school is because he could never make friends and hit teachers.

for the easy time the father would keep him at home while he went to work and this kid is of his head and no way would I want this kid anywhere near me in 3 or 4 years if he can get a gun and would not be surprised if I hear about him in the future.

You think I am joking or over the top then not one child around here likes him, he has no friends, he has no concept on how to meet people and thinks he can do what ever he wants.

The biggest trouble causer around here is he, in fact one day I caught him looking though one of the bedroom windows.

The best thing for this kid is to get help instead of father leaving him at home to never meet anyone

BTW THE kid is 13 , thinks he is 30 but acts like a 5 year old with his tantrums.
