See if he'll be willing to meet halfway and send 'em to a private school of sorts. Probably will not have to deal with as much crap as you would at a public school, and will let kids get more socalized than home schooling.
Another alternative could be what a friend of mine did. His parents homeschooled him through 7th grade while keeping him involved in extracurricular things and having normal friends; then stuck him in public in 8th grade. He was already a pretty normal kid, but it took him no time at all to fit in at public. I think that's the route I will try to go, but obviously, it also depends on what my wife will want and since I have no idea who she is, I can't say for sure now. ???
