If a homeschool student participates in this program, they will receive virtually as much social interaction with other children their age as they would at the public school.
I agree, however, that many of parents who home school do so to shelter their children from the world, and under those circumstances, it's often detrimental to the children.
But to make a blanket statement that home schooled children don't have equal opportunity to interact with their peers, I disagree with that, because if the parents participate in the type of program they have here in OC, they have plenty of opportunity.

It'll be awhile before Jackson catches up with the OC.
