Do they enjoy what they're focusing their life on?
That's what's important. An education isn't going to guarantee a box of brains or a wage-free working life. Whatever deficiencies they lack and want to amend, they will.
What's this whole "behind" business anyhow? Norming is unnatural and creates value judgements that lead to elitist snobbery. And from what I've read, most homeschoolers are behind their schooled counterparts in elmentary school, in league in junior high, and ahead in high school.
Patience, young grasshopper.
