First of all, "these days" are today, and i'm in school right now, and i Am encountering homeschooled students like those. Maybe im just meeting all the wrong people.
And like i said, it may not seem like the school environment is a better surrounding for education, but a person gets educated on so many different levels. At least you've learned to cope with social pressure, and dealt with changing your personality and learned how to make friends. You went through public schooling your whole life and turned out just fine, how can it be such a bad thing?
