Truth be told, the majority of homeschooled children are no different from those who attend public and private schools. And while some are pulled from other schools due to learning disabilities, a good number of their parents simply think their educational needs will be better met at home. Homeschooling can come in many forms, from literally being taught by a parent to a co-op that hires teachers for their kids.
 
Homeschooled kids do not show up in media very often, but when they do, they are usually shown as either [[No Social Skills|socially inept]] [[Nerd|nerdsnerd]]s or [[The Fundamentalist|religious fundamentalists]] who have been sheltered by their paranoid parents. While some homeschooled kids fit these stereotypes (the term 'homeschoolers' in some parts of the homeschooled community refer solely to children fitting this stereotype; in other parts of the homeschooled community 'homeschooler' is a self-identity for anyone homeschooled), not all do. In [[Real Life]], there actually are homeschooling-parent-led networks of homeschooled kids who get together with other homeschooled kids for events just to offset this sort of social issue, though each homeschooling family's involvement in that sort of thing varies.
 
Usually when homeschooling does come up, it is either by having a stereotypical homeschooling character introduced or by having the main characters attempt homeschooling themselves. Usually, neither turns out well. Occasionally the [[Moral Guardians]] will be pro-homeschooling.
