public school is important for building social skills. They go outside at recess and lunch to play with and fight eachother. and since sbout 99.9% of kids go to public school, it doesnt give the home-school kids very many people to interact with.

And if a kid *is* being home-schooled its because the parents live too far from a public school or they dont want their kids anywhere near a public school. Your going to spend your life having to interract with other human beings if you like it or not and you have to teach these skills. Home-schooling lacks this.
