> I tend to think home schooling gets in the way of the socialization aspect of schooling, acquiring conflict-solving skills, etc. And, anyway, I live in a country where home schooling is all but forbidden.
This is a well-known problem in the home-schooling community. I understand that home-schooled families tend to cluster together and meet among themselves. (But I am not from such a family, so I don't know.)
It is also possible, though I don't know how common it is, for home-schooled children to also take courses a public school. So they could do, say, phys. ed. and recess at a public school, and get the best of both worlds.
