As a student teacher, I won't speak for or against homeschooling. But I will point out that some school districts do actively support homeschooling through homeschool groups that bring together kids for various activities, teacher/advisors to help the parents, field trips, and so on. If you're waffling on which way to go on this issue, check out what, if anything, your school district will do for you.
I have seen the socialization issue that some of you complained about in one case, with a pair of twins, but that was frankly because Mom basically dominated their life. So these two girls grew up kind of distant with other people. But they're going to public high school now and they turned into twin 16-year-old goddesses, so I expect they're getting all the socialization they can stand right now.
