Home schooling definitely has its place. We know kids that were home schooled and did well, both scholastically and socially. By the same token, we know kids that were home schooled who did well in neither. Home schooling is entirely dependent on the parent/child relationship, and the kid's willingness to accept their parent(s) as their teacher, and the kid's ability to learn that will dictate either success or failure. Our kids completed their high school grades 10-12 at private schools, because my wife, even being a highly qualified teacher, did not think that she could teach her own kids for fear of alienating our relationship with two extremely strong-willed children. Both kids now have post-graduate degrees.
