[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 1054884, member: 211504"] [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER] I couldn't agree more. I have yet to meet an adult who was homeschooled and could function in a team business setting much less function in society. You simply cannot learn social skills from occasional weekly interactions and certainly not with parents constantly in attendance as well. I don't mean this rude, it's just my personal experience, but it usually begins with the parents who have nesting issues and cannot allow their children to learn life lessons on their own. As you mentioned, these children are often brilliant, but lack social and critical thinking skills that cannot be learned from a book. Part of life is making mistakes so you can learn from them, learn how to manage them, and hopefully learn not to do them again. Without those life lessons you'll always be relying on someone else (mommy and daddy) to be solving every problem for you. Aside from children with debilitating diseases or disabilities (diabetes not being one of them) I truly believe that homeschooling your child is essentially setting them up to be "socially disabled" as an adult.
