I have freinds who homeschool. I think it's excellent when it comes to actually learning stuff. The only drawback I've seen in homeschooled kids is, due to the lack of interaction with other kids from varoius backgrounds (meaning not brother/sister) the kids miss out on some group interaction skills. Good or bad, there is something important in dealing with others in the lunchroom, in the gym lockers, being part of a group and learning group dynamics, having the shared background and shared experiences of doing crap kids in school do. Also there is the networking factor. Kids go to school together, then go on to various jobs but stay in touch and all that. But that is just what i´ve seen.
