I attended a private school until year ten, then public for the final two. I currently drive a semi.
My younger brother was home schooled. He's currently a manager of a large hospital in Sydney.
Make of that what you will!
LOL.... that sums up my sentiment on this thread perfectly!
As for the comments about socialization and interacting etc, etc, etc.... Many home schooled kids still go to Scouts or are in a sporting club, and contrary to much of what I have read.... they actually still have friends and extended family. They aren't lepers locked away in their home for 18 years.
locko sums it up nicely... the system drove him to... ahh, he drives to... oh bugger it, he's scarred for life!
