IT'S TRUE, HOMESCHOOL KIDS ARE LACKING

Yes, it's true.
Home schooled kids do lack some of the social skills of other kids their age.
Here are a few. examples:

1. Home schooled kids are less likely to be able to relate to the drug culture.
2. Home schooled kids are less likely to be able to relate to violent peers.
3. Home schooled kids are less likely to be able to converse well using profanity.
4. Home schooled kids are less likely to be able to let adults know that they are smarter than the adults.
5. Home schooled kids are too good at conversing with adults since they have been deprived of age segregated classrooms.
6. Home schooled kids are less likely to be swayed by the opinions of their peers and are therefore less likely to fit in.
7. Home schooled kids are more likely to stay involved in church activities instead of having the thrill of hanging out with their peers.
8. Home schooled kids are more likely to put their self interests aside for others and therefore are less likely to get their "rights."
9. Home schooled kids are less likely to have older kids instruct them to say "words your teacher has never heard come from a child's mouth before."
10. Home schooled kids are less likely to be able to collect welfare, so they will actually have to work for a living.
11. Home schooled kids are less likely to have peer pressure push them into early sexual activity so they will miss out on getting Father's Day or Mother's Day presents before they graduate from high school.
12. Home schooled kids are more likely to grow up respecting their parents and therefore rely on them for advice instead of getting to figure everything out on their own.
13. Home schooled kids will never know the intimacy of gang involvement.
14. Home schooled kids are less likely to understand why adultery among national leaders is OK.
15. Home schooled kids less likely to be overly dependent on others so they won't fit in as well in a one-world government.
16. Home schooled kids are more likely to home school their own kids and thus condemn future generations to these same horrible consequences.

Now that's something to think about!
