Go back to regular school. Seriously. Academics are important, obviously, but I would argue that social skills are even more so. There are many jobs that don't require academic aptitude, but not many that allow you to be antisocial. I have a good friend who was homeschooled up until highschool, he described himself as "socially retarded". This is despite his parents being very involved in their church and other activities. You simply cannot replace spending 8 hrs/day every day in a school setting. Not very helpful, I know, but it's something I feel strongly about. I think parents who homeschool are putting their kids at a disadvantage. Rant over.
