I have two home schooled children, and I know hundreds of others. There certainly are "unusual" children among the ranks of home schooled children. But, as a former public school teacher, too, I can tell you that my experience would indicate that there is a far higher percentage of "misfits" in public school than you'll ever find among the home school ranks.
I case you're interested in the research, here's some info for you:

The truth is that most home schooled kids are far better "socialized" than are their public schooled counterparts.
I agree but not only to they get along well with others, have manners, and are respectful of their parents they actually have received an education.
Thanks!!
