I was homeschooled and really enjoyed it. From my experience, the parents try to foster a passion for continued learning and self learning. With that perspective, a child grows up assuming their parent is biased and seeks out competing views. This skill of analysis and synthesis is incredibly critical. We can definitely sometimes be socially awkward (I can spot other homeschoolers a mile away) but I know a lot of friends who have become quite successful in their careers which does take quite a bit of social skills. My personal example is that I just raised money for my open source startup (http://github.com/amark/gun http://github.com/amark/gun) tackling the pains of databases. Most other homeschoolers I know went after the legal/political fields though. Feel free to ask me any questions. :)
