home schooling doesn't mean cutting the child off from social interaction, you are just taking control of modelling their formative years vis-a-vis education.
they still have enough rascal time at playgroups, weekend outs, potluck, church, play dates, family meetups etc
If there is a hype I am never falling for, it is homeschooling. Buana let the kid go to school and encounter fellow rascals.
