Homeschoolers don't match stereotypes


One of my favorite reactions happened at my school, Fox Valley Technical College. I was chatting with another student before my class and, somewhere in the conversation, I mentioned having been homeschooled. She looked at me in amazement, and exclaimed, "I would have never guessed you were homeschooled!"
To my dismay, her comment was actually meant as a compliment. She seemed to think that if I had been homeschooled, I wouldn't be able to keep up a good conversation or be able to offer ideas and somewhat intelligent comments in the classroom discussions.

"The nature vs. nurture debate explores the relative importance of cultural (social environment) and biological (heredity) factors in the developmental process of human beings. Is our biology most important in determining who we are or is our social environment? Do we learn our character or is it determined at birth genetically? In all likelihood the answer to this question is a complex interaction between the two." SOCIALIZATION, Russ Long's Lecture Notes

“The Moral Life of Babies:” Evidence of Human Exceptionalism » Secondhand Smoke | A First Things Blog

But that matter is of no consequence to us here at SHS. “The Moral Life of Babies:” Evidence of Human Exceptionalism » Secondhand Smoke | A First Things Blog
