No, homeschoolers are not inherently antisocial. There is a common misconception that homeschooling leads to social isolation and a lack of social skills. However, this stereotype is not true in most cases.
Homeschooling families often engage in a variety of activities that provide opportunities for socialization, such as co-ops, homeschooling groups, sports teams, and extracurricular activities. Homeschooled children may also have opportunities to interact with a wider range of age groups and have more diverse social experiences than traditionally-schooled children.
It is also worth noting that socialization is not the same as socializing. Socialization refers to the process of acquiring the norms, values, and behaviors of a particular society or culture, while socializing refers to the act of spending time with others and interacting with them. Homeschooled children may have different socialization experiences than traditionally-schooled children, but this does not necessarily mean that they are less social or have poorer social skills.
Overall, whether or not a homeschooler is antisocial depends on many factors, including the individual child’s personality, the approach to homeschooling, and the family’s lifestyle and activities.
