I homeschooled 3 of mine for 3 years. As a trained teacher, I wasn't afraid that I was cheating them scholastically--which many homeschoolers do--but I began to see some really weird older homeschoolers and didn't want my kids to turn out like that. Yes, they were comfortable with adults but they were just plain odd with their peers and they went to such great lengths to prove how "normal" they were that they weren't.
