Get the homeschooler mug.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 homeschooler mug.A NORMAL person. Listen, I'm tired of the stereotypes. We are not all Mormons, Many of us have amazing fashion sense, and homeschoolers that fit the stereotype are a minority.
I KNOW who Lady Gaga is,I don't have to ask to use Google, I have a YouTube channel, and I'm homeschooled.
Plus, homeschoolers have time to do awesome extracurricular activities and socialize, while other kids sit in a classroom all day and get in trouble for socializing.
Oh yeah, and my chores don't involve milking the cow.

Get the Homeschooler mug.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 homeschooler mug.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.

Get the homeschooler mug.There are the homeschoolers who are infatuated with only their school, grades, scholarships, and graduates. They are the ones who become the greatest of doctors, masterful scientists, and ingenious inventors, who eventually kill themselves once they realize what they have done with their lives and how they had wasted their youth years away, and how, in the end, it was most definitely not worth it.
There are the homeschoolers who sadly just don't know how to socialize. They range from pretty awkward to 'okay, this person is freakin weird' to fuckin retarded. They are the ones who voluntarily subject themselves to the notion of homeschooling and are cast out by every social group imaginable. And are way too stupid to form their unsociable and pathetic group themselves. And as they are way too stupid to end their miserable lives, they end up living in misery forever.
There are the ones who's depression has excelled so far they don't even have the will to fight their enforcement of being homeschooled. Instead they become desperately behind on school, give up on it entirely, and spend their meager lives absorbed in the media. Social networks, TV shows, movie characters, and books become their best friends, and help them to forget about their depressing problems. And they are too absorbed in their fantasy lives to kill themselves.

News reporter: Ground Breaking News.The population of homeschoolers has begun to diminish around the world. Now, is this because people are finally smart enough not to commit the crime of homeschooling or because the homeschoolers have all begun killing themselves at a faster rate?
