> Why are tech people suddenly so into homeschooling?

Are they? I mean statistically. Or is that just an observation from some random articles about a handful of freaks?

> and let me tell you, at no time were my six siblings and I considered the cool kids on the block.

I don't want to defend homeschooling but in my experience, the cool kids on the block tend to end badly. These are the girls that end up pregnant at 16 or in relationships with abuse partners, the boys that end up in addiction and a career of jumping from shitty jobs to shitty jobs.

Having said that it is nice to be able to develop social skills. I used to be super shy and had to force myself to grow a more sociable person and I am glad I had to force myself doing that by going to school.
