To many modern children and teenagers, the homeschooled kid is something of an enigma. Do they ever leave their house? Is there something wrong with them? Are the parents from some radical political fringe (either far-left hippies on a commune who mistrust The Man, or members of the alt-right)? Are they fundamentalist religious types in Flyover Country who want a Christian education? Are they from a brainwashed cult? And the most questionable of all: do they have social lives and friends? Despite popular belief, homeschooled kids are typically no different than kids who go to regular schools (such as public schools or private schools), and their parents range from progressive to conservative. While some kids are placed in special schools due to disabilities, a good number of their parents feel that their kids' educational needs will simply be better met at home. Homeschooling can come in many forms, from literally being taught by a parent to a co-op of neighborhood families 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 socially inept nerds or religious fundamentalists (as of 2007, 72% of American parents who homeschool list a religious motivation) 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. The Final Boss of a Spelling Bee is often a homeschooled character. Compare Embarrassing Relative Teacher, which is about parents being actual schoolteachers. Also see Private Tutor. |

Two examples in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit In the more intense example, two brothers are homeschooled because their obsessive, possessive and controlling mother wants them under her complete control. She winds up manipulating the older boy into killing his own brother to keep social services from taking him away. The episode did include one normal homeschooled girl to pay lip service to how this trope doesn't portray reality entirely accurately (indeed one of the antagonists of the episode had a lawyer who automatically decided that the villain was being persecuted because of this trope). ... At the same time, the episode also went on a short tirade for how homeschooling is dangerous since the state can't check up on what parents teach their children or hold them up to any educational standards, so they're not being guaranteed a quality education. In the second example, a ten-year-old girl is adopted by a couple whose only child had been abducted ten years previously. The adoptive mother is so terrified of losing another child that she keeps her newly adopted daughter in their apartment the entire time and homeschools her so she never leaves her sight. Naturally, the ten-year-old feels suffocated by this and has to find a way to escape. |

Owen Cronsky in Less Than Perfect was homeschooled by his parents, and there were a few jokes made about it(like Claude and Ramona being surprised that he had an actual graduation ceremony), but it's still one of the more positive examples of this trope, as Owen turned out fairly successful from the experience. | |

In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, it was stated all Wizard families were allowed to keep homeschooling their children instead of sending them to Hogwarts, although few, if any, did so. It becomes forbidden when a Voldemort-controlled Ministry declares Hogwarts attendance mandatory. The option is presumably restored after Voldemort's downfall. | |

In Tokyo Ghoul, Ghoul children are unable to attend school and as such, any education they receive comes from their families. As a direct result, suspicion of home-schooled children is heavily enforced with CCG actively encouraging people to report home-schooled children to them as potential Ghouls. Touka and Ayato, Nishiki, and Hinami are shown learning what they could from a combination of second-hand books and lessons from the people around them — Touka is shown struggling to adapt when she attends a normal High School, while Nishiki does well once he gets into a local university. | |

The Simpsons: Marge tried homeschooling in "Whacking Day" when Bart got expelled (ironically for something that he didn't do) and rejected from several other schools. She even converted the garage into a classroom (which resulted in Homer almost running over Bart twice). Strangely, Bart started doing much better academically, but a Reset Button Ending allows him to go back to school, and for some reason Marge decides to go along with that instead of continuing to teach him herself. In "The PTA Disbands", Bart tricked the teachers into declaring a strike. Milhouse's parents hired a tutor to continue educating him. Once again it seemed to work really well, but didn't last beyond the episode. Meanwhile, Lisa homeschools herself. |

In the Origins episode of Miraculous Ladybug, Adrien was originally homeschooled prior to becoming Cat Noir, since his father Gabriel wouldn't allow him to attend public school, believing that it was "too dangerous" for Adrien to go outside the house without constant supervision. Given that the only friend Gabriel approved of was Chloe, one understands Adrien wanting to meet new people. | |

In Harry Potter, Word of God says that many Wizard families homeschool their children before they can attend Hogwarts, including the Weasleys. Most of the usual factors of this trope are averted, however. In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, it was stated all Wizard families were allowed to keep homeschooling their children instead of sending them to Hogwarts, although few, if any, did so. It becomes forbidden when a Voldemort-controlled Ministry declares Hogwarts attendance mandatory. The option is presumably restored after Voldemort's downfall. |

Total Drama: One of the contestants is Ezekiel, who was homeschooled, depicted as having No Social Skills and being an Innocent Bigot. He was the first to be kicked off as a result of his cluelessness. When he became an Ensemble Dark Horse, the writers brought him back just to have him go insane and (literally) mutate into a barely-sapient, antagonistic feral child. Cameron, due to being a Bubble Boy, was homeschooled prior to joining Total Drama. While he is naïve to ways of the wider world and lacking in social skills like Ezekiel, he is depicted as an immensely intelligent Nice Guy who makes it to the final two. Shawn, who in many ways seems to be a Suspiciously Similar Substitute for Ezekiel, is often said to be homeschooled (due to being a paranoid apocalypse prepper), but this may be a case of God Never Said That. Unlike Ezekiel, he's treated sympathetically and makes it to the final two. |

At the beginning of Mean Girls, Cady has a voiceover talking about how she knows people think all homeschooled kids are nerds (illustrated by a girl with mega-braces at a spelling bee spelling "xylocarp") or religious nuts (a family of redneck boys, one of whom explains how God created guns "so that man could fight the dinosaurs, and the homosexuals"), but she is neither of these things. | |

Robin (1993): Tim Drake's best (civilian) friend Ives started being home schooled since he picked up lime disease and was also incredibly bored and unchallenged with the curriculum at the public school he had been attending. When his mother forces him to take an equivalency exam to re-enter the Gotham public school system he doesn't miss a single question and notes how ridiculously easy it is. | |

Several of the children in the documentary Jesus Camp, very decidedly in the "religious fundamentalists" category. We see snippets of some of their lessons, including a Creationist video cheerfully informing them that Science Is Wrong. | |

In Harmony (2016), Alexandra briefly homeschools Tilly after her last expulsion. But on a field trip to Theodore Roosevelt Island, some kids make fun of her while she's photographing the statue, and she gets so upset that she runs all the way off the island and almost runs into traffic before she falls and breaks her wrist. They give it another try after the failure of Camp Harmony, and this time it goes much better. | |

Carmen Sandiego: The titular character had a "revolving door of nannies" that taught her various subjects, since she was raised on an isolated island by the heads of a criminal organization. Said heads were also teachers at the island's Academy of Evil, and taught her various subjects as well (mostly about their respective cultures). | |

In Zenobia July, the titular protagonist was homeschooled by her father. After the death of her mother, he became increasingly paranoid and controlling. By the time she reached adolescence, she wasn't allowed to go outside their trailer in rural Arizona. While her father was out working or hunting, she would finish her homeschool lessons by herself, then spend the rest of her time online. After her father dies, Zen comes out as a trans girl and starts attending public school. | |

The Owl House: When Luz, Willow, and Gus end up getting expelled from Hexside due to the influence of Amity's parents, Willow's fathers decide to make the most of a bad situation by quitting their jobs to homeschool her to ensure that she still gets a good education and spend more time together as a family. Amity manages to force her mother into letting them back in school only a couple hours later, so we never see how their homeschooling attempt would have played out. | |

One More Time, One More Chance discusses this. Compared to Ryuuko being bullied, getting into fights, and dealing with terrible staff, Satsuki considers this as a better alternative.

The children on the series Promised Land (1996) were homeschooled by the mother, though not out of personal or religious reasons—the family traveled around the country helping people and therefore never settled anywhere long enough for them to be properly enrolled in school. Once the family permanently settles in a community, this changes. | |

Besides the title character of Steven Universe being informally homeschooled, "Mirror Gem" parodies the "attempted homeschool" plotline when Steven first hears about school from his Muggle Best Friend and tries to set one up with Pearl. They get all the supplies they need but don't know what to do with them, and give up after a few minutes. So Steven cheers happily for summer vacation. | |

In the above-mentioned episode from The Loud House, Lola's siblings get jealous of her being homeschooled, noting how the rest of them have busy schedules too but still go to a regular school—they convince their parents to let them be homeschooled like Lola is, but Lincoln and the rest of his sisters discover that being homeschooled isn't really what they imagined it to benote 1.) While they may have more free time on their hands they still have to do actual schoolwork, 2.) Lola points out that they have to go back to attending regular school if they fail the weekly test on Friday and 3.) Lincoln and his sisters (minus Lola) are unable to get any work done without getting distracted.. They end up going to Lola for help on their weekly test, but this costs her the sleep she needs and she ends up failing her test (while all of her siblings pass), forcing her to go back to regular school as punishment. But in the end, feeling guilty about what happened, Lincoln and the rest of his sisters (after explaining to their parents about what caused Lola to fail her test) go back to attending regular school while Lola can continue being homeschooled without getting distracted by the rest of them. | |

In Transhuman Space, homeschooling (by means of an AI tutor) is the norm. It's mentioned that (most) parents are aware of the importance of socialization, and there are various places and events for kids to do so. The supplement Personnel Files: School Days 2100 is set in a "normal" (by 20th century standards) school, and specifically notes that this is an unusual situation. | |

The backstories of several characters in the Elemental Masters novels include being taught at home by tutors who were themselves Elemental magicians. But between the time period and the social class of most of those characters, having a private tutor would have been seen as normal. (Having the lessons include Elemental magic, not so much — but that was the main reason for the tutor. Putting a magically-gifted child in a Muggle boarding school is just asking for trouble.) | |

Everyone trusts him to do the work himself and not slack of, and his parents can't tutor him because they both work. As a result he's the one who spends most of the time looking after baby Obsidian. | |

Bewilderment: The summer before fourth grade, Robin talks his dad Theo into homeschooling him. Thanks to Robin's enhanced focus from the neurofeedback therapy, he has no trouble with the work. He even wants to study on weekends. When he's finished with his schoolwork, Theo gives him "treasure hunts" like filling in outlines of countries with drawings of the local wildlife. When Theo can't get a babysitter, he takes Robin to work with him and sets him up in the library. However, his career suffers - he cancels conference appearances and stops publishing papers, and his collaborator, Carl Stryker, dissolves their partnership. After Robin stops getting neurofeedback therapy, he loses the ability to concentrate on his schoolwork. | |

Parodied in an event of 60 Seconds! where Dolores considers to homeschool Mary Jane in the fallout shelter simply because she can't spell "antidisestablishmentarianism" right, with the player being given the option to allow Dolores to proceed. For some reason, the player has a rare chance of getting a random item for choosing "yes", despite the correspondent journal entry not even mentioning such a thing to happen. | |

The children in the Gensokyo 20XX story Gensokyo 20XXV are homeschooled and this is justified, being an Apocalypse Anarchy, in that the kids are taught at home because A) there aren't that many schools, B) the ones that are around aren't very safe (Word of God says one had bullet holes in the walls, another had a body buried underneath it, and one was in a waste dump), and C) many of the teachers are closer to students than they are teachers (as much of the population would have died because of the nukes, fallout, or nuclear winter). | |

Steven Universe: Future explores this is some more detail: As an older teen, never going to school has somewhat lessened his ability to relate to new people his age. Greg allowed him to stay out of school because being half-Gem made him different than most kids, and may have been biased by not wanting to hamper Steven's freedom. In "Mr. Universe", it's one thing that makes Steven bitter about how Greg raised him. | |

In Diary of a Wimpy Kid, a kid named Fregley is put in home schooling after first grade. He expresses himself in odd ways, has no concept of societal norms, and despite being very smart he cannot cope with a school environment. Every once in a while he gets taken to school functions and creeps the other kids out. Every once in a while he gets taken to school functions and creeps the other kids out. A later book introduced Maddox, another homeschooled kid with No Social Skills. He spends all his time building Lego sets and practicing his violin, and his mother doesn't allow him to watch TV or play video games. When on a "playdate" with Greg, he refuses to talk to him the entire time, and goes completely nuts when he sees Greg start to play a video game. |

In the Kill la Kill fanfic The Outside, Ryuuko is implied to be homeschooled, as her only source of education is from a tutor, Aikuro, and Satsuki doesn't allow her outside. Like some portrayals of this trope, the former hasn't had too much socialization; however, that's because her sister doesn't allow her outside. Later on, we find out that Satsuki was homeschooled, too, however, this is justified, as she was sick quite often and suffers poor health, thus she would have a tutor (rather than deal with absences and such). |

Dumbing of Age, the latest addition to the Walkyverse, has Joyce, who describes herself as the most-socialized member of her homeschool group. She very much fits the 'fundamentalist' stereotype, though she's also a protagonist and treated sympathetically. Later, her friend Becky mentions that the only reason they were allowed to go to college was because they were expected to get Education degrees so that when they found good Christian husbands they'd be able to homeschool their kids. Becky is a lesbian, so she has multiple problems with that plan. | |

One of the families in Wife Swap was teaching their children this way, believing that public school was too harsh and cruel an environment. Unfortunately, they appeared to be doing it in a very lackadaisical way—no set schedule, lesson plan, etc. The wife from the other family was unable to convince them to enroll the children in school, nor convince them to have a more structured curriculum. | |

When Sage from Almost Perfect came out as trans to her parents at age thirteen, they responded by pulling her out of school and homeschooling her, allegedly for her safety, but really because her dad was ashamed of her. For the next four years, she was banned from having friends or leaving the house without her parents. When they went on family outings, it was always to another city where no one would recognize her. When Sage turned eighteen, she informed her parents that she was going to public school and they couldn't stop her. They responded by moving halfway across the state to Boyer, where no one would know that Sage was anything other than a cis girl. | |

In "Foreign Affairs" Peter tries to homeschool them again, but sends them back when it turns out that Chris had learned nothing from the experience. Of course, this isn't so much because of homeschooling per se as the fact that it's Peter doing the teaching. |

Emil from Stand Still, Stay Silent was educated by private tutors and able to tailor his curriculum. Something was quite obviously done wrong, because his grades dramatically dropped when he entered the public school system after his family underwent a Riches to Rags episode (Emil blames the school system for this). He also doesn't know any Icelandic, that universe's Common Tongue, that is supposed to be a mandatory subject for academics. Among the six main characters, Emil comes across as third most educated at best, behind The Medic (who doesn't have an actual doctorate) and a Finnish desk worker just a couple years older than he is (Finns are supposed to not be that well educated in this world), who both know Icelandic among other things that Emil does not. The three that are less educated than Emil didn't get an academic education to speak of. | |

Dharma of Dharma & Greg was homeschooled, and quite well-adjusted at that. It usually comes up when she laments the things she missed out on – riding the school bus, going to homecoming, etc – although one episode has her realize that the "History" lessons that her father taught her weren't as true as she thought. | |
