But you are wrong there brother ... God is sold on home based education. 
He, in His infinite wisdom gave the duty of training to the parent, not
to the state!

And obviously you have been cloistered in your thinking. :)

 Home school does not mean you do not go out of the house.  Come on open
your eyes brother.  Just because it does not meet your idea of what is right,  does not mean it is your idea of what it is,  that it is! :)

My kids attend a State University every weekend along with about 150
other students from grades three to twelve.  They participate on this
day in voice lessons, piano lessons, violin lessons, music theory and
choir.  They participate with about 50 other kids in the same age spread
at 4-H.  They are active at church in youth services and every other
service and activity that takes place.  They go to the College
Performing Arts Theater along with about 200 other students at least
once a month.  They participate in at least one field trip every month
and most months two with a like amount of students.  They participate in
a performance night and a science fair every year as well as the ACE
student convention with over 3000 other students.  Yep .. they are socially misfits brother because they home school.  

The problem is that the students that you speak of are the cloistered
ones.  Not only are most of them in an environment where they must check
them for weapons and drugs on the so-called educational campuses but they
are age segregated and learn only  how to deal with same age students on
a daily basis and not with the REAL world where you deal with all
different ages.

>But that is your pejorative.God bless.

But then, that is your perogative Brother!
