My son played soccer with a lot of homeschooled kids and quite honestly, except for the fact my son was smarter than me by the time he was in the 3rd grade, I couldn't find anything wrong with it.
The kids got to learn at their own speed and there weren't wasted hours when they nothing.
There were groups of homeschoolers that got "guest teachers" (for example, a local meteorologists, doctors, vets, etc.), they went on field trips, had sport teams, etc.
All kids had the choice to go to "regular" school whenever they wanted. Some went when they were in HS and stayed, but several went and came back to homeschooling.
I spent a lot of time with these kids over 10+ years and certainly saw NO lack of social skills.
