> Homeschooled kids often do well on tests - but they all lack an awareness of the real world My experience has been the exact opposite, almost exclusively. I witness them not performing as well on tests in the high school/college years, but excel at the "real world" afterwards. To the point that they look "behind" in school, but then leapfrog their peers in the post-college years. They're particularly better equipped in the subjective "adulting" areas, and not just the "maximize income" area.
