Paul: Yes we understand the repercussions, but my research over several years balances your misgivings. First of all, we are involved in many community (socialization) activities such as Scouts, Tai Kwan Do & Swimming. I have also established several apprenticeship opportunities, such as working with an electrician. BTW, there are universities that give preferential status to home-schooled applicants.

I would not say the NB has one of the most progressive education systems in Canada, by whatever objective measure one would use. I would be interested in seeing any data that indicates this.
