| QUOTE (Grant @ Feb 28 2008, 12:29 AM) | I'm afraid I would have to majorly disagree with the idea that being homeschooled results in lack of social skills (or lack of discipline).
I'm a former homeschooler and I happen to lack both, but I have friends who are extremely social and also homeschooled, and I think discipline is largely dependent on how strict the rules one's parents set are. (I recall getting a lot of leeway, though otherwise the education was top-notch.)
On another note, not to brag, but I actually got out of math classes for my associate's degree in college altogether, because I tested out of Calculus with a CLEP test, getting all questions correct.

It's not generally speaking but rather my personal experience. I always lived in a country/rural setting and was homeschooled along with my younger siblings. Never was I once in some social activity, sport or otherwise communing with individuals outside my family for the majority of my life save in church. The 'lack o discipline' comes from the type of teacher you get, in this case mom, who was rather lenient when it came to the whole thing. Some of my friends were really quite strict and focused on homeschooling. Don't get me wrong, homeschooling is a great thing and it works often for lots of people. It just wasn't good for me.
