Deeman, allow me to point out:
Homeschooling doesn't prepare you for the real world, that's just dandy that you can you can making a Signature and mark that down for yourself as credit that you did Art class, but that's not how it works in life. You don't work on your own time or your own schedule in real life, you don't stay at home and say "Well, I made a sandwhich, that's some Home Economics right there!". Real life involves meeting deadlines, being put under pressure, doing actual work and having a Boss tell you what you need to do for him. Wonderful that you get to feel happy with your straights A's at home because you get to lounge around and do things on your own schedule, but when you get into college suddenly that mold is going to be broken and you're going to be thrown back into the system head first.
Sure you may feel pressured in the normal School system and it may suck listening to a Teacher, but that's life, deal with it, the world has for the past century. You may be taking a temporary vacation from the System by Homeschooling, but that's just going to make the landing all that rougher when you get thrown back into it during College and actual Emplyoment. It may suck to be in Public school, but unfortunately the way things work nowadays, Public school prepares you for the kind of stuff you're going to be doing all through College and the rest of your life, all Homeschooling does is make socializing harder for you and leave you unprepared to do actual work.

So, she's saying that it's possible your social life could survive through it, but she doesn't know for sure, because it certainly didn't happen to her, eh?you don't lose your social life. But, I did...
