I have several friends that were homeschooled, and will admit that they were "socially retarded" when they went on to public high school. They were intelligent, but were not significant achievers in school. Home schooling didn't give them an edge, it gave them a handicap.

Yup.
We all have to live in this world. Even if your kids are homeschooled and came out smarter than 95% of the world, they need the proper skills of dealing with the rest of that 95% that they will encounter every day, every where.
