    I was home schooled,* and occasionally I wish I had gone to public school, because I missed out on a lot of cultural touchstones, but then I’m reminded that kids are fucking horrible to other kids at any sign of differentness, and I was a fat, nerdy, gay bookworm, so, yeah, I’m good with the way things shook out. Haha

    *Got a great education, not a religious nutjob, was not raised by right wing zealots.

      Home schooled kids on average are smarter. Public schools tend to lower their standards to get a certain percentage of students to pass.

      Plus I bet your teacher was hot.

        Considering half the home schooled kids are kept for indoctrination and/or abuse purposes, I doubt it.
