I have two families in my neighborhood with home schooled children. The children in both are much better behaved than most kids I've met. In one family the kids seem a bit less socially motivated but the kids of the other family are very outgoing and friendly. All the kids from both families seem very very bright. I know that I don't have the patience or skills myself to home school my kids but these folks sure do a fine job of it. In the end it's up to the parents as it should be. To each their own.
