I was home schooled (pretty hardcore Christian style) from 7th grade to 9th. I could say it made me a little smarter than the average bear, curriculum-wise, but socially, it retarded me. Tried to return to public ed for 10th grade only to find out that my home school was uncredited by the California Ed. board (waste of 3 yrs) They wanted to send me back to 7th grade (haha) Ended up takin GED at 15 in Idaho w/ flying colors (high, mind you). Could Definitely say I came out a better educated, but my social skills are still sub par to this day and without full participation by parents, I would not recommend it.
