I was a home school kid for a few years after leaving public elementary school and I loved it. I HATED the social dynamics at my school, half the fuckers there were pretending to have mental illnesses or be gay/lesbian (trans wasn't really "in" yet) This was before internet school and not only did I have a good social life (I had friends and got a part time job at a restaurant) but I eventually took a GED exam at the end of my freshman year of high school, and passed with great scores. I tested out of 3 years of school before my peers and later went to become an EMT through a community college program (again before my peers were even out of high school) If anything my social life was better. I was exposed to the real world and wider social dynamics rather than stuck in a microcosm of insanity, indoctrination and petty school drama. Just a home school person's experience.
