There are two families in my ward that home school their kids. One family has all small kids under 14 and they are really good kids and quite smart. The other has 4 in college already and 3 more thru various stages of High School, all at home. They are all well adjusted, smart, sociable and well rounded kids.
Traditional schools, at least where we live, really offers very little in terms of "socialization". If exposing children to drugs, alcohol, sexualized relationships, violence and just plain antisocial behavior has "value" I truly fail to see it.
