Since you obviously would prefer an ill-informed opinion than actually learn anything, I took the liberty of gathering some information for you.
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/dec/13/home-schooling-socialization-not-problem/ http://www.nheri.org/content/view/174/62/ http://school.familyeducation.com/home-schooling/human-relations/56224.html http://www.hslda.org/research/ray2003/Socialization.asp http://www.indiana.edu/~reading/ieo/digests/d94.html Study after study has also shown that home school children consistently score higher on standardized tests that those in public school. That kind of blows holes in your 'if you are not a certified teacher, you are not capable of teaching your children' theory, too. Your opinion is only based on stereotypes and myths and not really on any facts at all.
