Get the homeschoolermug. One who is schooled at home, esp. with curricula designed to teach each individual subject. Schooling at home allows one to work at the pace necessary for that individual.
Homeschoolers are often associated and confused with the group known as nerds, or with non-sociable, sheltered individuals. While there are many homeschoolers whom would be considered nerds by most, to say that all homeschoolers are nerds or non-sociable is a hasty generalization.
In truth, looking at public schools, there are essentially the same amount of nerds and introverts. The problem of lacking social skills is not an issue of the school you choose to go to; it is simply a problem of a personality that one must work to get rid of.
A lack of social skills is unhealthy for nearly everyone. To blame this issue on the fact that someone has school at home makes the problem worse altogether, i.e., it's like dousing a house that is under no danger of burning down with gallons of water, only to realize that the house right next to it is collapsing in flames... attacking something that isn't the cause of the problem.
I, myself am homeschooled and, quite frankly, have more friends than the average public schooler (a good 70% of my friends are public-schoolers, mind you).
I know about more music (meaning many different bands) than the average public-schooler.
Among my favorite places to shop for clothes are American Eagle, Buckle, Banana Republic, Guess, Gap and Target (don't jump on my case. Target's clothes easily compare to American Eagle's, for sure).
So the stereotype condemning homeschoolers is not altogether true. I would admit that it's not absolutely unreasonable. However, I have to say again that homeschoolers are not the issue. It's nerds/introverts/sheltered people in general.

Get the homeschoolermug. According to nonhomeschoolers...they’re different. Everyone has his or her own assumptions about this strange race of students, the ones who choose to sever their relationship with the public school system. They must either be a genius that feels restricted in a normal classroom, a socially inept and reclusive introvert, or maybe both. Besides that, they are devoutly religious and spend five hours a day on bible study. They don’t swear, smoke, wear skirts above the ankle, or drink anything stronger than orange juice. Homeschoolers are geography bee winners, girl scouts and boy scouts, participatants in civil war reenactments, and above all, they love every minute of it. But we're not, really.
See that perfectly normal person not dressed as a skank who could be considered a freak because they are reading for pleasure and don't throw wild parties? They're probably a homeschooler.

Get the homeschoolermug. A smart person, who doesn't have to be locked up in prison for 8 hours learning things that are not needed for their future or career.
Usually introverted, and has only a small circle of friends. These people are generally stereotyped as being Duggars, big families, all well behaved, white, and own 3 houses out in the country to accomodate the family (of course including their grandma), and has to get Whole Foods delivered to their house in a truck because the nearest one is 45 miles away.
But in reality they are just people who are probably better educated than you, have a better chance at getting a well-paying career, and still have time in the day to do all of the fun things you wish you could do, like staying in bed all day on Monday watching YouTube.
