I've known two sorts of home-schooled kids.

The most common type has overprotective, super involved, often religious parents. They pul their kids out of school, because they think that the school is performing poorly, or because they are worried about bad kids at school corrupting their child. The parent(s) act as a teacher, or they hire a private tutor. These kids turn out pretty smart, and can usually get into good colleges (but choose to go to mediocre religious colleges instead). They are often portrayed in media as socially inept or naive, but I've never met one who is like that.

The second type of home-schooled kid was pulled out of school because they are troubled. Maybe they have behavioral problems or a mental disorder. My sister was home schooled for the last two years of high school because of social anxiety. She didn't have a teacher or tutor. My parents didn't do anything. She would get packets of schoolwork in the mail, and do the rest of her school work online.

There's also a subclass of the religious homeschoolers- fundamentalists who think that their kids are being taught about satanic propaganda like evolution and biology, who usually teach their kids entirely from religious workbooks (if at all) so that they're left with little skills/knowledge and either can't get accepted into college or have to go to a shitty bible college.

There are also political radicals (i.e. crazy new age hippies and right-wingers) who do essentially the same thing, just with less Jesus. Homeschooling really needs to be more regulated; I'd say banning it would be a better option, but most American public schools are so godawful that homeschooling often is a better alternative if the parents aren't crazy extremists or neglectful.
