Home schooling is a mixed bag. It can be good if you have a dedicated parent who finds good resources to teach with and knows what they're doing. However, homeschooling is too often used as a backup plan for idiot teens who get themselves kicked out of school.
I was home schooled from Kindergarten through 7'th grade. I took tae kwon do when I was little so that I would have social exposure and I had a few neighbor friends, so I knew how to interact with people. However, 8'th grade my parents sent me to a Christian school, and that was possibly the worst decision ever. I knew how to interact with people, but I was shy, wasn't accepted very easily, and it didn't help that I was so naive I didn't know what mooning someone meant. It's a shame too, a hot girl asked me if I wanted her to moon me, and I said "I dunno." Had I known what it meant I so would have said yes T_T
12'th grade I went back to homeschooling because I was so sick of the Christian school, but I went to a tutorial this time. Tutorials are sort of a blend between regular school and home school. Classes are held once a week, generally at churches or community centers, and different parents teach different subjects and assign homework for the week. Naturally you'll have the naive home schoolers, but you're also going to have the ones who aren't naive, so it's a good balance of kids to lawl at and kids to lawl with you.
I myself am extremely thankful I was home schooled, because my parents are very literate people so I'm very good at anything involving the English language. Very useful in today's society where leet speak is so common kids don't even know the damn difference between "they're/their/there" and such.
