Anecdotally, most current or former homeschooled kids I meet seem pretty socially awkward. I wonder if It’s because the miss-out on the opportunity to learn how to socialize properly as children. But maybe I’m being too critical, idk.

It’s bad for kids. Like, objectively proven to be bad.
While I can imagine all the nightmare scenarios, I’ve known a number of homeschooled kids who grew up with distinct advantages. There are flaws with public school too, as I’m sure you’re aware. At the end of the day, the problems surrounding proper education of children from wildly different situations are not solved with identical tactics.
Which kid wouldn’t benefit from a school situation?
Do you have links to back this up? The only thing I’ve seen that’s been proven to be bad is how homeschooling is usually done, especially in America.
This is a subtle but important distinction. Homeschooling is not the problem. The lack of oversight and regulation is the problem. The lack of proper structure is the problem.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not defending it and do think It’s the wrong choice 99 times out of 100. But saying homeschooling in and of itself is the problem isn’t right.
