Abstract

Abstract A recurring criticism of home schooling is that students are deprived of the interaction necessary for optional social adjustment. Life-history interviews of adults who themselves were home-educated as children, however, fail to substantiate the criticism. To the contrary, the adults reflected positively on their home education and their present occupations. Spirituality and a sense of moral purpose were values shared by a many of the adults.
