I know one or two public school students who are not that well socialized too. I would not be too hard on the child. Giving a national interview is hard on anyone, including public-school educated adults. If someone said I had to spend an evening with one of two teenagers and the only information I had about them was that one was public school and one was homeschooled, I would choose the homeschooled every time. Homeschooling is a much better vehicle for socialization than public schools.
