What makes you think that homeschooled or private schooled kids don't "grow up and cope with society"?

There are hundreds (if not thousands) of homeschool support organizations in Texas alone that help to provide a community and social atmosphere for homeschoolers. My 2 are homeschooled and they have functions that range from field trips, to book clubs, to sporting events, etc. Every type of extracurricular activity that is available in public schools is available through these organizations. There are even other organizations, such are the Jewish Community Center, that sponsor sports teams that compete with public school teams.
