I think home schooling is one of those thing it is really hard to make a blanket statement about. I've gone to school with kids who were home schooled for part of their education and adjusted really well into "normal" school life, but those kids were also the ones whose parents made sure their kids played on local sports teams, joined scout troops, and actually taught them a "standard" curriculum. I've also gone to school with kids who were home schooled and were completely socially inept and a little too busy learning the Bible and not learning how to you know, do math or science or have a normal conversation.
My boyfriend has this relative who was home schooled on the farm by parents who only had a high school education - he then went to a correspondence college and correspondence law school. He now is a farmer with more student loan debt than I have. I'm not sure what the point of that was.
