Also, home schooled kids miss out on everything else that public school includes. Homecoming, Prom, football games.... Yeah, I know what they will say - "Oh, home school kids still do those things". It's not the same. One of our friends home school their kids. The oldest son is a senior and decided not to go to prom. He only knows a handful of kids at the school. At the end of Senior year they show up and graduate with hundreds of kids they don't know.
