Meh, just speaking from home schooled kids that I know, not all. Trust me I know some strange ones.........Usually socially defunct......
Dude don't stress it, it all depends on how you carry yourself. I and plenty of my other friedns went to a public school and did just great. If you are successful and very involved you've got it made. Don't traumatize the damn kid. It doesn't make a difference, now if your talking about private school then their is a difference. If you live in a good neighborhood then you don't have to worry about it. Look HERE and find out. Man come on, you should be worrying about things much more important than this. Like teaching your kid to play basketball, and avoid becoming a a nerd who gets bullied! Ha! Did I just change your mind about public schools?
I know what fmullegun is talking about though. Several years ago, my brother-in-law came to live with me for his senior year and I was looking around for a private school for him (he ultimately went to the public school). We looked at and talked to a lot of schools. Most of the Christian ones seemed to stress the provision of a "safe," "Christian" environment over a rigourous education. And places that claimed in their literature to do Calculus and AP stuff, etc, when you went and talked to the teachers and students, you found they didn't do quite as much as advertised. I remember being especially disappointed with Northland Christian and Houston Christian. However, there were also some impressive schools. The Christian ones that I remember standing out were Strake, St John's, Kinkade, and St Thomas (of course, some of those were not terribly religious); and then the non-religious Awty International.
At least in NC, if you homeschool your kid, you still have access to all extra-curricular activities-- like sports and clubs etc. My girls are on a little cheerleading squad and they both have some home-schooled kids on their squads. My Houston nephews were all home-schooled up to junior high/middle school and then entered a private school. They were in a home school co-op with half a dozen other families who took turns with the responsibilities.
My wife has several friends who home school their children. They all seem pretty smart, but they all have behavorial issues in public settings. Might be just a coincidence though. My son goes to Rosehill Christian in Tomball. I was skeptical at first, mainly because of the tuition. These days, I think its the best thing we've done for our son. He loves it there and does very well.
One thing public (or private, as opposed to home) schooling has going for it is that it tends to normalize children socially, an essential function. No way that girl makes it past second grade running around inhaling her fingers without peer pressure leading to self-correction. I like the following clip, pitting a socially gifted tv host (if a slight dullard) versus a home-schooler, capable of excelling academically but blissfully unaware of all social conventions: <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/z4hLS01uscY&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/z4hLS01uscY&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
