Homeschoolers get a bad rap in society. The public at large is always very concerned about homeschooled kids not being appropriately socialized or getting an insufficient education, but don't do introspection about whether their own kids attending public, private, or magnet schools are also undersocialized and struggling academically. There have always been parents who use homeschooling to keep their kids isolated from the world and wholly dependent on them for a developmentally inappropriate amount of time, as there have always been parents who send their kids to school and don't care about what grades they bring home or if they're being treated with dignity and respect by the teachers and other students. It can be easy to see homeschooling as nefarious if you're a neurotypical extrovert who got a top-notch education at a public or private school, but not everyone has that privilege. If you're a homeschool parent and don't care what anyone thinks of you, these homeschool memes might ring true.
