A lot of people seem to think homeschooling means no socialization. While this can be true, it's very frequently not true - if you're in a place where homeschooling is legal, just google it and you'll find a bunch of homeschooling co-ops near you where they regularly hang out.

So is it mostly the same personality types that our home schooled? Or is it different types of people with different backgrounds. That mashing of cultures and personality your would get in public/private school is what I was referencing.

I had friends who home schooled their kids They had plenty of socialization and when they did high school they were able to take part in sports and other activities

It can be extremely difficult for families in rural areas where the next closest town is a trek. Otherwise, you're spot on. Did you ever attend public school? If so, would you recommend homeschooling instead, pandemic or otherwise?

Sometimes, though not usually, homeschooling serves as an avenue to allow parents to protect their children from threats to the parent's beliefs. IE, an indoctrination camp at home. Such is the stereotype, anyway.

I was homeschooled, and the lack of socialization really fucked me over in adulthood

Our daughter was social during homeschooling. The difference is she had very little encounter with confrontation which I think has lead to some of the anxiety she has. And yes, public school socialization is prison brutal. I was bullied, but I think it made me stronger in a way.

I suspect this is genetic? If you give a kid a lot of confrontation you could be like "yeah and that gave her anxiety." If you don't give her any confrontation you could say the same thing. i had very little of it when I was growing up and I have very little anxiety now.

Your description seems like a "socialization monoculture", the group is all people with similar interests and experiences. Many but not all public schools are monocultures. My schools had a broad spectrum of ethnicities, class, etc. There was mixing across groups despite cliques.
-
It wasn't perfect but I did learn from people who had very different backgrounds - stoner lowrider kids, working class families, conservative Christians, wealthy families with every they wanted. None of this was gated/mediated family selecting who was appropriate for me to meet

The problem is that it is not an open and diverse community.
