IMO children being socialized by each other is one of the problems with schools. It's surprising most people turn out as well as they do...
Apparently someone did an actual study to see if homeschooled kids were poorly socialized. They weren't.
I don't think they checked for antisocial behavior, just social skills and, I dunno, maybe friends? It's been a while since I saw it.
EDIT: Actually, I think there was a note about homeschoolers being less vulnerable to peer pressure, however they measured that.
