I'd been 'socializing' with homeschooled kids for so long (see the last entry at: http://www.nhen.org/newhser/default.asp?id=402 ) that I forgot what it was like to talk to 'normal' teens. When our kids made local friends here before going off to college, I was surprised to see the distrust and ... 'shiftyness' (for lack of a better word) when my husband and I tried talking with the kids' new friends. I felt like my husband and I were Good Cop and Bad Cop trying to get the drop on the perps. As for Jeanne's comment, I'll put it on my List of Things To Do. :) (maybe it'll be a new blog category??) Concerning Karen’s comment, I saw this played out when we moved back to America.

It is reported that a majority of these so-called "schooled" children have no idea how to interact with adults in a respectful manner. Rather, they practice behaviors such as eye-rolling, snickering, and other forms of blatant disrespect when in the presence of grown-ups.
