[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My issue with long term home schooling (not for just a couple of years) is that it allows kids to avoid social adversity.  Homeschoolers never have to learn to deal with the unreasonable teacher or school yard bully.  They never have to take a test with a disruptive nuisance of a desk mate or advocate for themselves with a teacher when they disagree with a grade.. 
 They are able to sculpt their own pleasant learning environment.

Because of this, IMO, many of the homeschoolers I've know have been unable to function in a corporate environment.  They're too used to having everything their way to function in an organization that doesn't cater to them.  [/quote]

My homeschooled kids get plenty of that on their club sports teams, orchestras, and pre-professional ballet school. Two of them are extremely adept at reading people and navigating challenging social situations, probably because they have a strong sense of who they are and don’t put up with bully boy/ queen bee BS to gain approval.
