Being free must be pretty nice. But I believe being homeschooled has its downsides also. For example you miss most of the social aspect of going to school (i.e. making friends is harder, poorer social skills), but I wouldn't be surprised if that wouldn't be a problem for many people. How about higher education? How does a homeschooled person prove a university he is qualified enough to enroll?

You get the same amount of interactivity as regular school through homeschool groups and other extra-curricular activities. For instance, my family skis and my dad is on ski patrol. I belong to a homeschool ski club where we meet 3-4 times a week. And I meet with other homeschooled kids every day.About higher education: We take staderdized tests, SAT's, ACT's, etc. just like normal schooled people. I know several people who were home-schooled and are now in major colleges. One guy i know is a software engineer and was homeschooled his whole life.
... And it was a lot less work too.

I've taken some home school type classes, on what's called EHS. Right now I have one free period where I'm home schooled and for the rest of the time, it's "real" school for me.
