From a social aspect I think that homeschooling is a bad idea. From an intellectual aspect I think the homeschooling is great. I've known some kids growing up in my neighborhood that were homeschooled and they were always made fun of. They weren't the cool kids on the block so hardly anyone hung out with them. When it came to college entrance exams, SATs, ACTs, they rocked those exams. If your kids can get through the hard social times as a kid (of course this isn't the circumstance in every situation), when it comes to college no one will really care if your child was homeschooled or not.
