You're generalizing from a sample of one homeschooling family. That is unsound.

It's true that homeschooing isn't for every family or even every child. Our older daughter is homeschooled and has flourished. We tried with our younger in kindergarten and it was a fiasco. She now attends the parochial school around the corner and loves it.

We know many homeschooing families. I assure you that the outcomes are generally very positive and I don't personally know of any negative ones.

I may have given the wrong impression in that last post. I do know of families who tried homeschooling but switched to traditional schooling because it wasn't working as we did with our younger. I meant that I don't know of any kids who've been harmed by being homeschooled.

I know a girl who was homeschooled, graduated summa cum laude from my university, and is at yale now.
