Yeah, this would be my primary concern with homeschooling. Schools aren't just a place where you learn how to divide fractions, memorize historical events and learn how to compose a sentence. It's also where you develop socially among a group of peers.

This was my thought for many years. There were a couple families in our church that home schooled and they were as normal as could get. Very social, outgoing, not weird in any way. My initial thought is they were the outliers; through work I've met others who have home schooled and they are the same. Normal kids doing normal kid things; movies with others, sports, etc.
I had mostly changed my mind 4-5 years ago then Covid and more left leaning crap and I'm now all for it. Both our kids are in college but if had to start over I'm fairly certain we would look very hard at home schooling.
