I have found that Public School children either throw a fit, pout or act out. Homeschooled kids gravitate to the adults or younger children.

Interesting. I have seen homeschooled kids throw fits, pout, and act out .... just like ANY kid will do.

It amuses me, how homeschooling parents continually tout the superiority of their children over those whose parents choose differently. It's like you're defensive, and trying to compensate for something.

Just to throw it back at you .... some of the most neurotic kids I've ever seen, have been home-schooled. Not their faults; rather, their parents were so fearful of the outside world, and passed that fear onto their kids, that the youngsters never had a chance. And the "home-schooling choice" was an important element of that fear.

Well, I guess that indicates how many Homeschooled kids you know. I work with PS kids. I never said all of them are bad, in fact, I said that there is an exception to every rule. Both ways.

Seems PS parents get really defensive and bring up the ones “they know” to say how “off” homeschooling kids are. That’s really not the homeschooling parent’s problem. Personally, I don’t care at all how well adjusted anyone’s kids are but my own.

Which is why I have taken the freedom to choose the associations my kids have. Some are public school kids, some are homeschooled.
