Jim, properly done Home Schooling can leave a lot of extra time if the kids are motivated, to go and interact with the world...They can go to museums, church, special events, volunteer, etc, etc..and get all sorts of social skills. Many home school students have mini businesses going by the time they are in high school.
Compare that to the reality TV mindset of the average public school student.....which would you want your grandkids to be exposed to?
Improperly done, homeschool can be bad...the parents have to be qualified and dedicated to educating their kids too. Simply pulling the kids out of school to avoid the sorts of things taught you don't agree with, then telling the kids to go do their work on the computer instead can lead to really bad results too. From what I have seen, most states have better oversight of the homeschooler than they do of an average public school student, so the poor home teachers get canned and the kids go back to public school.
Of course not all public schools are bad..there are excellent ones out there..but if your town has one of the bad ones, ya either gotta move or private school or home school.
