Its worked for everbody I've met that tried. College scores proved it. Many studies show that they do well in college and society. For me homeschool does not mean I isolate my kids from the world, but I do have much more control of what the see, do, and who the play with. They are very social, and the do not bring home bad habits from other kids. Building character in them is what is most important to me, and it is a lot easier without outside interfence from other kids as well as teachers/school policies that cross the line (the few that do).
