Yes, but selenite and celticdragonfly are rational people. They want to expose the kids to the rest of the world, and not keep them indoctrinated into a narrow, narrow path.
Once upon a time, in San Antonio, I worked with a guy who had been homeschooled. By (I'm guessing IFB) Baptist missionaries. One of the places they lived when he was growing up was Romania. Not that they were ever allowed out to play with the other kids.
Then, he went to Bible college for 5 years. Majored in history and poli-sci.
Then, he joined the Army. The active-duty Army. He had NO social skills. No sense of personal space. (I spent one huddleup meeting with him literally breathing down my neck.) He picked his nose in public at 25.
He was every bad argument against homeschooling in living breathing form.
He also came to 2 military functions with his epaulets on his dress blues BACKWARDS, but that's also a story for another time.
