I would have thought that was the case with home schooling several years ago. For some reason I had visions in my head of kids with mom all day learning "readin', writin', and 'rithmetic" at the kitchen table. But that was a misconception. They have study groups, they participate in community service projects, and they are more able to experience exposures to culture outside of a classroom. The majority of them were active in their churches and they were in strong families with active and involved parents.
