My children went to public and private schools. Both my husband and I had careers so home school was not an option. We were college educated and were on top of their school and extra curricular interests. They all did well in school and are college grads and wonderful parents and partners with their spouses. One of my granddaughters announced in first grade she was not going back to school and was going to be home schooled. My sweet DIL told her she was going to be on that school bus. I personally think home schooled kids miss out on social skills.
