Let me further elaborate.

I think that along with influence from the parents, there needs to be influence from a social environment. I think it starts with the parents though, they are the ones that need to teach their children to think for themselves, right and wrong, that there are consequences for the decisions you make, etc.

Are you at all familiar with what actually happens in homeschooling? I don't mean to insult but your comment evidences cliche and supposition rather than actual fact.

The fact is that homeschooling families typically participate in a myriad of social environments: we just make conscious efforts to maximize the beneficial ones while minimizing the negative.
