I would be more interested to hear about this family ten or twelve years down the road, when there's more evidence of what kind of decisions these kids made once they were away from the parents' sphere of influence.

Instead of reading that "They are smart, and socially adjusted, and athletic" had they gone to school we might be reading that "She was class president, all-district on the girls basketball team, and went to the state finals in [insert instrument] and debate. She is tremendously liked and respected and has had a lot of influence on her classmates and many friends."
Since when is being smart, athletic, and socially adjusted a great achievement of homeschooling?
