Such a kid would very likely be just as maladjusted and asocial as he is wherever he was schooled. Public schooling has far more (imo) negative consequences socially than it has positives. It seems to be a common (mistaken) opinion that everybody has some innate ability to be equally sociable, just as many think that all kids have the same innate ability with regard to intelligence and aptitude for high-level academic work.
