That's a big "if", and they need to be able to interact without supervision - as happens at times in schools - so that they can learn the important social skills and so on that will enable them to develop into adults.

I'm all for home schooling, providing the parents/tutors used know what they are on about and that certain subjects aren't censored for various reasons (i'm no big fan of Catholic schools either, before someone comes in to criticise), and that the children who are being homeschooled somehow get to make friends with others and interact with them in something akin to the same way they would in a state school (i.e. not just a scheduled 5 minute playtime per day).
