Why not? There's plenty of activities for homeschoolers(at least near here) with group co-op for one day a week, plus several clubs and group activities like sports, PE, and robotics.
I suppose if the kids in a community being homeschooled are representative of the rest of the kids, sure, but I doubt that's happening, though I don't know.
I am glad I went to public school after starting at private school because of all of the exposure to 'the real world' and all the kinds of people in it.
All the homeschoolers I've met (I've met a lot) have had a homeschool group. Some have been more active than others, but co-op one day a week is usually the bare minimum.
But I guess if there were homeschoolers locked at home 24-7, I probably wouldn't meet them.
