Now, I'm not a parent at the moment, but I will be someday (maybe), and here's a short opinion of mine. My children will NOT be homeschooled.
The homeschooled kids that I've known have usually had a few characteristics that make them stand out, and the biggest one I can think of right now is the lack of social skills that most of them have. I can make a list, but that's a big one that encompasses a few things. These kids usually also have an attachment to their parents (or whichever one did the schooling) that other kids don't, and can be a little excessive. One friend of mine said that he wished he'd been in a public school just because of the lack of social skills that he's developed, and because it's more difficult for him now.
