I'll admit our schools aren't what they're supposed to be, but by homeschooling your kids you'll be raising social retards. I see this from kids in my university that were homeschooled during their primary and secondary education years. A kid needs feedback from other kids to grow up well adjusted.

Actually, that's the biggest myth associated with homeschooling. The homeschooled kids I've encountered have always been far more active and developed socially than I ever could have dreamed of being. And I was a pretty outgoing student.

It all has to do with how the children are homeschooled. If social interaction isn't encouraged at all - they will grow up to be "social retards"...
