Because you’re not going to learn people skills through homeschooling and learning by yourself.

“Because you’re not going to learn people skills through homeschooling and learning by yourself.”

You need to go back and read my very first post...you’ve gone off track from my original point.

Nice try with the dig at homeschooling but all it shows is that you're hopelessly out of touch with reality of what homeschooling is all about and how the vast majority of people homeschool.

Perhaps you could explain, then, why colleges are doing everything they can to attract homeschoolers and why they have a special liaison in their admissions department to deal just with homeschool applicants?

You’re entirely right, homeschoolers never learn people skills because all homeschoolers are only children who are locked in their basements all day. Homeschoolers never ever have the opportunity to be team players or work with others which is why colleges don’t recruit them and they don’t get jobs.

Ooops, wait, forgot to disengage my sarcasm generator.

I was homeschooled and somehow managed to develop people skills. Well, enough to fake it anyway. In college, I was always in high demand for teams and was usually the only “young” person asked to join the team with the older part-time students who didn’t have time for nonsense like the college slacker kids. I managed to get a job, a husband, and a volunterer gig helping put on a fan convention for 2000 people even with my “homeschool handicap”.

You got that right! My four homeschooled kids just sit around the house wondering why it is that they don't fit in and don't have any friends and couldn't get into college. /sarc
