We have several family members who are home schooling their kids with great success. They're testing well above their grade level. The kids are heavily involved in local sports and have a substantial social network with both home schooled and traditional schooled kids.
I fully support road schooling as well. We've been full timing for a year now and have met a couple families doing that with their kids. I watched a mom take her 2 young kids down to the beach with their lessons. They held class with calming waves in the background. I later saw the kids doing their artwork at the picnic table.

I am 100% supportive of home/road schooling. But each family needs to recognize that there will be compromises.
