...or it's all that they chose to do. It doesn't mean it's all that they were capable of doing.

I don't see that, really. I spend a lot of time with large groups of teenagers, all who have phones with all the bells and whistles. They still seem to communicate well with each other face-to-face.

Also, the same could be said of people who are not able to communicate well electronically. Who said one was a better measure of "social aptitude" than another? Provided you can communicate successfully, whether digitally, verbally, or otherwise, I would say you're ability for social interaction is fine.

A buddy of mine was homeschooled. Runs his own business, beautiful home, wife, four kids. I think he turned out ok.

But think of all the socially inept losers who went to public school. That's pretty much us.

Phycoschematic evaluations done by Dr pervsrus have shown, kids that are home schooled are 8 times more likely to experience incest before age 12 and the girls are 11 times more likely to become pregnant before age 16 than kids that attend public and private schools.

It would be wrong to classify “all” home school individuals into this socially inept category. However the majority of the ones that I have known are “Socially Inept”.

Was Obama homeschooled?

Most of the people I've met that have attended private schools have been "off" in the head in some way. I don't know anyone home schooled, but can see how it would fuck them up.
