That's cool - I'd hope that's generally the case. This could also be more evidence that it is an exposure issue and it takes longer for them to catch up.
I'd be curious to ask adults that were homeschooled if they would want to do the same for their kids.
I'd wonder even if it's the common case they end up perfectly normal adults if it's hard for them prior to that.
I think I'd be nervous about being able to do it effectively for my own kids (both for the social and academic reasons).
That doesn't mean I don't think it's a solvable problem and there is probably a way to create a community of people to do this well, but that might just end up looking like a secular private school.
Don’t have immediate plans to homeschool our children (4 and less than a year). We have found that the 4 year old does much better with outside authority than with us, plus he is a highly social creature who will benefit from the relationships at school, we think. He has done great at preschool, although no plan survives contact with the battlefield. Plus, my wife, while an educator, has no real desire to homeschool, and my career is the more lucrative one so I am likely to be the primary wage earner for now. We are open to homeschool if circumstances seem to dictate it.
Anecdote of 1. I have many friends who were homeschooled who homeschool their kids, and many who refuse to.
