I couldn't agree more. I think the education and example you set for them is lightyears ahead of any school. As far as socialization goes, I think kids taught at home are better at socialization skills. My kids weren't isolated as I am sure yours aren't. They belonged to sports teams, church youth groups and community groups. I think they turned out to be fine young men that I am proud of even if others gave dire predictions because we homeschooled. Both of us took the responsibility to teach our sons. It was a joint effort.
