23-year-old niece tries to help homeschooled 13-year-old cousin who can't do his times tables, enrages aunt who thinks her teaching is just fine: 'Charlie needs to learn to be accountable to someone besides his mommy'

People are so split on whether homeschooling is a good thing or a bad thing for a reason. Homeschoolers either grow up to be the biggest slackers who have very little common knowledge, or hardworking, professional, and incredibly smart. I've never met a former homeschooler who was totally middle of the road in every way: there's always something a little bit unique about them. Maybe that's because a lack of socialization creates a much more interesting person than a generic American high school ever could. Of course, there are public schoolers who grow up to be extremely productive overachievers and lazy slackers, too, but they stand out a lot less than homeschoolers. Everything homeschoolers do can be overanalyzed as a direct result of them having been homeschooled, but perhaps that's not right. A child getting a proper education that they can carry through their lifetime is far more important than the kind of schooling they receive.
