  The outcome of homeschooling, I think, would be just as the father has expressed.  I am a great-grandmother but still working full time and I do have an opinion that agrees with the father on this subject.  Though I was not homeschooled, I did go to a private church school and my parents paid alot for this, although I loved school, later in life I was wishing I had of had the experience of going to a public school and I do believe that I would have learned alot more about life!!!! 

I have not had a healthy or lasting relationship, I am very shy, I never learned to dance or express my feelings about anything and now that it is nearly too late have just come to learn alot of  things about life I should have known years ago.  I attribute this to being in a small, small school, not having any of the normal experiences that teenagers have and not learning how to stand up for myself or be outgoing and it has caused me alot of problems in my life.  

I think every child/teenager should get the experiences of life in a public school and if the temptations are there that the mother is expressing they will have to learn to say 'no', being sheltered at home with none of these experiences is not the way to learn about them.  There are alot of fun things in school that this child would never experience if they never went to school and learned to socialize and it will tell on them later in life, believe it, it's true.
