I'm not against home schooling kids as I have a few friends who were home schooled, but I have to say that they do miss out a bunch on social activities. I'm super glad I wasn't home schooled. I enjoyed being in the social environment with all sorts of different people. I enjoyed all the school dances, sports, even just hanging out with everyone for lunch, not to mention all the other festivities that we had, and I would have hated to miss out on all that. I feel that I've gained something more than what my home schooled friends have by getting to experience all of that. There's some good and bad to it for sure, but I think as long as you've taught your kid what's a good choice and bad choice that they would be just fine. Of course, the level of education may be different but as long as they are in a decent school, I think it would be more beneficial. Just my opinion, I hope it doesn't offend anyone.
