1. Is homeschooling legal? : Yes it is.
2. What do you do all day? : Study, play, meet other homeschoolers, relax, read, build things
3. Homeschooling kids will not survive in “real” world outside. : Yes, they do see : famous homeschooler you did not know.
4. homeschoolers live sheltered life. – I guess they kind of do.
5. Homeschooling kids do not dress up nicely: Yes, they may miss out on designer stuff.. and it is a good thing
6. Homeschooler are all conservative Christians: Yes many Christian are homeschooler but there are many other religious and non religious people do homeschooling also
