As a kid, I always thought the correlation approached 100%. Even as an adult, I rarely encountered folks who actually did this. But now the Gaplet is getting involved with the theater crowd, and while we're trying to make these fucking school/worlk/rehearsal/other crap schedules work, I notice that there's a higher percentage of people who reply, "Oh, Biff? Yes, well, we homeschool him."
Strikes me as weird, but I can't decide if this is just (a) you know, hey, LA, man, (b) the weird theater subculture, or (c) some really poor decisions on our part about who we're interacting with these days.

When I meet someone who tells me they homeschool their kids, I immediately assume they are a whack job.
This is based on my experiences with my former neighbor who homeschooled her kids and was a whack job and my interaction with my father's pilot's wife, who homeschools their kids and is a whack job.
Furthermore, kids who are homeschooled seem to have a little problem with the sharing, as based on my experience yesterday at the Boynton Beach Schoolhouse Museum, where I met a wonderful whack job with a child attached to her in a Baby Bjorn and 3 other perfect aryan looking children who, well, did not play nicely with others.
I feel like, in the spirit of Atticus, I should add YMMV.
