Hi John Just think of the mental illnesses you could of had if youd gone to formal school?
Im jesting (slightly)
Ive kept my kids home to prevent mental illness. I dont care what their IQ is.
(Im NOT saying ALL formally educated people are mentally ill. so please people dont write me that okay.)Do you really think your ill becuse of home school?
Most people think my kids are great. But I work at them having a broad range of social expereinces.

I.Q. is mental age\real age * 100, which for those with just a little understanding of basic algabra, that would mean the average was 100. I am a genius with an I.Q. of 170. I will tell you, my intelligence comes from being home-schooled. However, because I was home-schooled, and didn't have very much social contact, I have a great range of mental disorders. I have social anxiety disorder, panic disorder with agoraphobia, and bi-polar disorder. I would not give up my I.Q. to be rid of these disorders, since I can get through them, but could not get over being stupid.
