When someone gets his or her education generally from a parent. Stereotypically people who are home schooled are rednecks, and people who are insanely religious, or politically backwards, or anti-science, or they get to slack off all day and sleep until 12:00. While in some situations this is true, not everyone is like this. Some people are just too damn soft and ignorant to believe that people need to learn to ''socialize'' at a young age. It is true that socializing is important, however there are many more vital things that need to be learned at a young age. Not all students are taught directly by they're parents; sometimes private schools will record classes all through the year and ship videos and dvds to the home schooler. The parent is more of a supervisor.
I'm home schooled and I'm liberal and not a socially backwards redneck that believes God hates gays. Nor do I get free rides on anything. It is true that I don't have very good social skills but a part of that is because I hate people.
