If people want home schooled then thats up to them. I don't get why people say it means they won't get a social life though.

It does though. Yeah some academics arent up to par, but, if you feel that way, you can always tutor your kids at home from time to time.

The thing is nowadays, its bad enough that kids spend the majority of their time socialising on the internet, so there is already that cyber experience taking away from real life experience. If you want to add home schooling to that, those kids wont know what to do with themselves, in a a social situation.
