I have a friend that home schools her kids and they are pretty normal, and really smart for their age. They are indeed polite to adults, but she includes them in plenty of extracurricular activities so that they have quite a few friends. Also they go to group home schooling once a week. If ever there were kids that would make me want to home school my own, it would be them. I think that as long as you can separate school time from home time, you can be successful at home schooling. Its the religious freaks like Airhorn talks about that give people a bad feeling towards homeschooling.
