Social interaction is a big thing for home schooled kids. My son is home schooled and he seems to handle himself ok in social situations. We have him in cub scouts, he plays rec sports and he goes to church. Surprisingly I've found he's had to deal with situations in kid's church that I wouldn't have expected, or at least when I was his age I didn't have to deal with them. Due to Internet access he knows a lot of stuff I wouldn't expect him to know since he's not around other kids all day. We've found there are home school groups that kids can get involved in to provide more interaction. I think a lot of home schooled kid's social skills when they get older will depend on the kid too. I know some kids that are finished with home school and some are fine and some are strange. I think it's one of those things where you do what you think is best for your kid and hope they turn out right.
