I know you are just trolling and I am not responding nearly as much to those
who troll these days, but in case you actually believe the basis of your
attack, here is some information to dispel the myth you are spreading.

    The author examines four common myths that still influence
    individuals regarding their perspective and understanding of the
    role homeschooling plays in the education of American children.
    Myth 1 is that homeschooling produces social misfits, stemming
    from the belief that homeschooled students lack the socialization
    skills necessary for normal functioning in today's society.

    Probably the most widely held misconception of homeschooling is
    the myth of socialization. This myth is born out of a
    misunderstanding of what homeschooling really is like and rests on
    the assumption that school is the only effective means for
    socializing children.

    "Socialization is actually meant to prepare children for the real
    world, which means learning to interact and deal with people of
    all ages, races, and backgrounds," says Diane Flynn Keith. "In
    this case, homeschooling actually does a better job of this
    because homeschoolers spend more actual time out in society."

    Research supports this.  According to Home Schooling and the
    Question of Socialization by Richard G. Medlin, "Home-schooled
    children are taking part in the daily routines of their
    communities. They are certainly not isolated; in fact, they
    associate with--and feel close to--all sorts of people."

    He continues, "Home schooling parents can take much of the credit
    for this. For, with their children's long-term social development
    in mind, they actively encourage their children to take advantage
    of social opportunities outside the family. Home-schooled children
    are acquiring the rules of behavior and systems of beliefs and
    attitudes they need. They have good self-esteem and are likely to
    display fewer behavior problems than do other children. They may
    be more socially mature and have better leadership skills than
    other children as well. And they appear to be functioning
    effectively as members of adult society."

    This and other studies support the irony of the socialization
    issue in homeschooling that we have known for years, which is that
    traditional schools are actually more on a path of
    de-socialization.  In traditional schools students learn to stay
    in a class to which they've been assigned and are grouped
    according to age and academic level, and generally with students
    from the same geographic area and socio-economic background.

    So in a sense, as I like to say, many people are homeschooling
    because of socialization reasons.

And much more on this. While there is some research that suggests things are
not as clear cut as what most of the research shows, almost all research
suggests you are not just wrong, but that homeschooler are *better*
socialized.
