Is most of the HomeEd community somewhat 'alternative'?

After a number of issues, My daughter (aged 5) really doesn't want to go back to school after the Christmas break.

I feel like a horrible old bigot asking this, but I'm really worried we won't fit into the HomeEd community.
I'd love for my daughter to socialise with other children during the day. However, I'm hideously conventional and everyone I've come across via the county's Facebook page seems a little alternative (Anti-Vaccers, Vegan, non-shoe wearing). Obviously, there is nothing wrong with any of these things, but I fear I have very little in common with any of them. I wear make-up, drink wine, buy things from Amazon and paid to have the Chicken Pox vaccine.

Is every HomeEd group similar or is it just where we live (Mid Wales)?

I think there’s a lot more average parents considering home education- particularly families of teachers.

My friends who home ed are all pretty normal by your definition - vaccinate their children, drink wine, have normal hobbies! They are pretty anti testing which is common amongst teachers.

I only know teachers who are home educating (5 families)

I'm considering home educating my 10 year DD as she has dyslexia and has been let down by her school. I'm not vegan, I wear shoes and I drink beer. DC have been vaccinated. I'm sure it will be fine and we'll find people home educating locally for similar reasons (hopeful)
