Used to feel the same way Andy.
The more folks I got know around these parts who actually home-schooled opened my eyes to what really goes on.
Those HS'd kids would get together quite often for "school-type" activities beyond the instruction in the home. And it's not like they're locked up in the house 24/7. Those kids have penty of "after-school" activities to do around other people.
Now if only school vouchers would be available so a person could spend their OWN valuable tax dollars as they see fit. Not the governments money but their own money. In fact, they shouldn't have to pay it in in the first place for this type of use.
