38. I am sure there are exceptions.

I also think it depends on where you live. Where we live the majority of home schooled kids are from very religious families and ones who don't want their kids in school with people of color. We have a few faculty at the university who home school because the schools are horrible.

We run a couple of summer programs for kids in my husband's department, I also dealt with college kids for 20 years. A pretty large majority of them have issues related to group work and getting along with others in a classroom. I am sure it would be different in a larger state with a different reason for home schooling.
