You must be skipping over all of the comments on this thread where homeschooled kids do exactly that.

Hi. I was homeschooled. I graduated university top of my class, have a high-skill high-paying job, think more critically (about everything including religion) than most people that I know, and overall I enjoy my life very much. I'm homeschooling my kids.

Pretty similar background here. Maybe successfully homeschooled adults are just hesitant to dive into this sort of discussion anecdote first?

Given the stigma that many people still associate, we probably learned not to talk about it, maybe even subconsciously.

You should be hesitant.

Agreed: generally speaking, diving into any discussion anecdote-first is unhelpful and should be avoided.

It's a pity that some people will take a collection of anecdotes as data and treat a lack of countering anecdotes as conclusive proof.

Yeah that’s what I was trying to imply.
