Instead of boarding a bus in the early morning hours to spend the bulk of her day in a classroom, Lydia Mason simply has to walk into another room to do her studies. Lydia, 10, is a home-schooler. Her parents, Matthew and Marla Mason of Williamsburg, educate her and her three siblings with a Christian-based curriculum in the comfort of their own home.
(Editor’s note: This is the first of a three part look at home schooling. Check the Friday edition of The Fulton Sun for the next article.)

poor kids, they won't know how to interact with other people in the real world. :(

Seriously? The article doesn't say they get lock in a closet after class.

Fultonian: I think if you read the article in its entirety you will find that your concern is unfounded. All of the graduates pictured are doing well in the "real world" and seem very well adjusted human beings with normal lives. Each one has a job that requires interaction with the public, and none of these people seem to be struggling with that aspect of their job. While your opinion may be true for a select few homeschool families, it can be widely refuted in the everyday lives of many homeschoolers. You might try gathering some additional facts and meeting some real homeschoolers before you decide all homeschoolers are socially inept.
