I am surprised it took anyone so long to bring up the 'socialization' thing.
Yea, because all home schoolers lock their kids up and never let them go outside. My kids are more socially adept than most kids who go to public school. We are part of a homeschool group that goes on class trips, does activities together. Unlike public school where they would spend all day with kids their same age, my kids 'socialize' with children of all ages. When we go on a field trip or have a 'get together', there are kids who are as young as 7 and as old as 17 - nd my kids can carry on a conversation with each and every one of them , and their parents. My kids have learned to 'socialize' with people of all ages, not just other kids their own age. The 'socialization' thing (or lack thereof) with home schooling is a myth, usually propagated by ignorance.
