I get tired of defending homeschooling because it seems if you even mention you're homeschooling someone interprets that as saying your a better parent than they are, and they get all huffy. Although, usually, those same people have no problems criticizing your choice of homeschooling, in some very insulting terms.
Yes, I know exactly what you mean, thus the reason I had submitted that letter to my local paper that I posted in another thread. I get so tired of the MISCONCEPTION that homeschooled kids are socially retarded. This judgement is always made by those who have never been homeschooled nor do they homeschool their own kids. I think it is good to have your kids involved in a lot of activities and yet, I know homeschooled kids who rarely get any social activity outside the home and they have the ability to socialize with people of any age.
The funny thing too, is that people will associate any personality quirk a homeschool child may show (shyness, short temperedness, etc...) to the fact that they are being taught at home but any child can show these same traits. I spent all my school years in public school yet I was far more shy and less social than my own children are.
