The social aspect was always my biggest problem with
home-schooling.
Also, just how qualified and dedicated are the home parents to
home-school properly.

I know one family...boy started Kindergarten and disrupted class
each day as he was probably just a spoiled little kid that could
do no wrong. When the school called them in, they got mad and
just yanked him out of school to do home schooling.

Personally, if it was my kid, I would have laid down the law and
told him to get his ass back in school and behave or else. I told
them that too.

Anyway, they kept him home that year and taught him nothing. Next
year they put him back in school and because he wasn't
home-schooled, he started Kindergarten again. He'll always be a
year behind now.
