I'm all for parents having the right to homeschool their kids, and think there can be valid reasons for it. But I wouldn't want it for my kids, and wouldn't have wanted it for myself. Obviously, there's a lot more to school, and to the actual process of educating children and adolescents, than solely academic preparation. Socialization and extracurriculars, and becoming exposed to the lives and experiences of others beyond your own household, are invaluable. I wouldn't want to deprive my kids of those. If true that homeschooled kids are often academically advanced, it comes at what cost holistically? Also, so your child is admissible to college at age 13 - what kind of a college experience is that child going to have? It seems like a poor decision to make a curiosity out of a kid in that environment.
