text: Another big reason for why kids shouldn't take classes at home is that it makes them be anti-social, because kids spend around 7 hours a day at school, which is where they get most of their social interaction. If people aren't going to school it is going to be very hard for people to make friends and be social. For example, I know somebody who goes to a very small private school that has around 60 kids in it (and around 6 in his grade), which limits their social activity their and they have a really hard time making friends where he lives.
