I was homeschooled for most of my schooling. Even in a small midwestern town, there were about 50 families from around the county in a local homeschooling group. Thanks to that, there were extra curricular activities and sports programs. I was in a theater class, chess club, spanish, and a programming course. My friends were in a swimming team and debate club. For the reading, writing, and arithmetic classes, there are courses designed for homeschoolers in mind. One course was provided by a college that invited homeschooled students to a "high school" graduation ceremony. The idea that homeschooled kids live under a rock and don't talk to others is false. Some religious nutjob parents might make headlines for doing that, but that is nowhere near the everyday reality of homeschooled kids.
