Though not a true disorder, this epidemic is plaguing children and teenagers worldwide, hitting the homeschooling community most of all. It is characterized by a lack of conforming to social cues. While those afflicted can understand social cues, they simply don't care; believing that everything is about them and nothing can have a negative reaction.
Person 1: That dude doesn't even care that he's acting like a douchebag.
Person 2: Wow, he must have Homeschooler Syndrome.

Get the Homeschooledness mug.A homeschooler who looks and acts like a normal kid, has friends, but is still less likely to get into drugs and alcohol. Contrary to popular belief, 75% of kids who are homeschooled are actually hip homeschoolers.
Normal kid: "Where do you go to school?"
hip homeschooler: "I'm homeschooled. But don't worry, I'm not what you think, I'm actually a normal kid who has friends and knows how to talk to people."

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.
